Depends what you call powers. Theoretically, the monarch still rules and the government runs things at his or her pleasure. Practically, that means that the Prime Minister keeps the monarch in the loop on what's going on, and might listen to their opinion, but that's about it. One reason the monarchy survives is that they've learned not to interfere.
On the other hand, they do a lot of charitable work and they draw attention to their pet causes by their presence, so there's that.
Are you talking about the future King of England or a welfare recipient?
Aw, wait, come to think of it the King of England will probably do more work than the average welfare recipient.
LOLOL I am at work, laughing verrry quietly...
Wake me when it's all over..............
And more to the point, why have a Caesarian, risking complications in future births as well as other maternal health issues, if it’s not necessary for the mother or baby?
Kate must have been following her prescribed prenatal diet rigorously to have such a large baby when she’s so thin. I’ve always taken pregnancy as license to get fat, myself, since nobody cares but my doctor and I’m paying him.
Except that you never see James and James at the same time, only one of them.
Meanwhile, 0bama is doing the opposite ...
I wonder if his ears will be as big as Zippy’s, or Charles’?
The British Royal Family bring far more money into the British treasury than they cost. They're a huge economic engine.
I was thinking George because the chart had it as number one. Washington and Bush are two presidents the left despises.
>> “and her breaststs got bigger.” <<

That is a shame. The only real negative arising out of childbirth.

Speaking of names, why is her nick spelled Kate when derived from Catherine? English thing?
Look for the poster on “Narcissistic Personality Disorder” about halfway down the page at weaselzippers.
or Obama
I thought it was something like that. I thought they actually had no legal say in anything. I knew they did charitable causes. William and Harry both serve/served in the military. I think some FReepers are being quite harsh on them. They obviously have every advantage in life, but they seem to be decent people. (I like Harry the best)
TMI, CNN. Do we really need to know everything? Is there a euphymism you might use to, oh I don’t know, just be every so slightly polite. Gad.
‘Gave birth ‘Naturally’ comes to mind. “Without intervention.” ‘Without medical intervention.” ANY of these would suffice.
Thank you. “natural birth’ is also just fine.
