Want to know the Truth about the Royal Baby?

I don’t really get all the fascination with the royal baby – I didn't even know it was due any time soon. People have been queuing for hours to be the first to offer Kate some flowers. Some have even camped outside the hospital for up to two weeks (seriously though - they had nothing better to do all summer in two of the hottest weeks of the year?) All for the birth of a stranger. A stranger that they may never meet. Albeit one that has been born into one of the world's craziest circuses.

I think the Royal family are good for tourism – and that’s about it. 

I used to trust them to portray a national image of dignity and poise – Queenie’s been good at keeping that up, but let’s face it Harry’s doing a pretty good job at balancing out all of Kate’s appropriate fashion choices.

The truth is that this royal baby is just as important as you, or me, or all the other children born today.

The truth is that this royal baby is just as valuable as you, or me, or a nameless child born in of a Kolkata brothel.

The truth is that this royal baby has just as much a right to a stable life as you, or me, or a child born in a Syrian refugee camp.

The truth is that worth is not found in titles, or privilege, or ancestry.

The truth is that this royal baby is dearly loved by our Heavenly Father, just as much as you, or me, or one of your work colleagues.
