Letters: Royal waste of media attention

Re “The prince of wails has arrived,” July 23

The extraordinary amount of vapid media attention lavished on the so-called royal baby has been nothing short of a royal waste of time.

It is baffling to me that anyone would give the slightest hoot about the progeny of anyone they are not related to, much less when it involves people as breathtakingly anachronistic as the British monarchy.

Unless the future king is to be named Kong, I fail to see any news value whatsoever.
