Vestigiality

Summer                                                           Moon of the First Harvests

Every birth brings new royalty into the world just as each birth brings new divinity into the world.  Not many will have the definite opportunity to move on up to, say, King, though.  I suppose the excitement from a monarchist’s point of view is that steady governance now stands assured for three generations in England, barring trauma or disease.  So in some sense this birth is equivalent to a presidential election in the U.S. in that in presages a peaceful transfer of power from one leader to another.  Important.

Though how important in a constitutional monarchy may not be so clear.  A curious form of governance those.  Kings and Queens with their power checked by elected leaders.  Better than the reverse I’m sure and better than the prior arrangement, too.  Still, it does make me think of sinus cavities, appendix and the coccyx.
