The birth of the Prince of Cambridge is big news for Britain, but what is it to Third World countries? Seeing all the coverage it’s been given, we may presume that many Indian politicians and media persons are still in the colonial frame of mind. Our freedom was hard fought. Monarchy is no longer relevant.
The royals have no power and no real influence. So I don’t understand why there is so much . It seems like an image building exercise for the royal family.
