Privileged or brainwashed?

Congrats Great Britain, you have a new little future king! I am the kind of person who sees a baby and goes all "awww he/she is sooooo cuuuuuuute, let me hold him/her!" and I can't wait for some close relative of mine to have a baby so I could buy all kinds of tiny clothes and toys for them. Baby-fever hits those times, but luckily I am realistic enough not to want one for real yet.

So, like my title pretty harshly says, I have been thinking about royal babies. First of all, I think that there is too much pressure on new royal couples to reproduce. I mean, they have barely finished the honeymoon when the world starts staring at her belly. So when you marry a royal guy or a soon-to-be-royal guy, you have no choice than to be ready to have a child. What if they are not? 

Well, when the new royal family member is born, there is no time to be just a baby, the media will make them The Royal Baby within hours. The kid has no other option than to start living a superior life to everyone else in the country. Privileged, for sure; more money than you'd need, best schools you could have. Limited, obviously; controlling your behavior all the time not to embarrass the family, no freedom when it comes to choosing your career. But is it brainwashing to raise the child to keep their manners no matter what, to basically write their future before they have any say in it? I don't know any royal people personally so I can't ask, but I would like to hear how they feel about having their life decisions so big that they would affect the entire country. 

I understand the princess fairytale dream of marrying a prince and living happily ever after but I would rather do it in private, without half the kingdom and the media. For me it is enough to look like a princess on that one special day and have the prince of my life, not the prince of a country. But I sincerely think that most of the royal people are happy, so I won't judge their lifestyle, especially since it wasn't their choice to be born into it. 

Royal or not, babies are cute so I am happy for William and Kate. I predict that after 20 years there will be a lot of competition for the heart of that prince...
