Text 121.<br />

Britain has met the heir who will certainly change the<br />

face of monarchy for ever. Kate and William’s son enters<br />

this world as a Royal Highness, destined to be king of his<br />

country. Though his mother is a Duchess, the title<br />

1<br />

__________ disguise the fact that there has never been a<br />

royal child quite like Kate’s. For while William descends<br />

from a line of monarchs, this baby boy’s maternal<br />

grandparents 5 once worked for British Airways and now<br />

run their own company.<br />

This new prince will become the first British monarch<br />

with working-class blood running through his veins.<br />

Monarchy these days is a precarious business, and<br />

increasingly hard to justify – not only in terms of the<br />

funds taxpayers donate to the Crown, but in a wider<br />

world in which royal families seem ever more<br />

anachronistic. This baby has arrived at a time of<br />

profound social change and evolution – 2 __________ is<br />

why I believe a royal child with middle-class antecedents<br />

can provide the social alchemy that will secure the future<br />

of the House of Windsor.<br />

William and Kate, a modern couple, lived together quite<br />

openly for several years before their marriage, a<br />

6 sensible decision 7 condoned by the Queen, which<br />

4 __________ been seen as unthinkable less than a decade<br />

earlier. This was after prince Charles had moved in with<br />

his divorced former mistress, Camila Parker Bowles, a<br />

situation that would have been equally unacceptable a<br />

few years ago.<br />

All this evidences a rapidly evolving monarchy. Who<br />

would have suspected that the Queen would have been<br />

seen 8 pretending to parachute into the Olympic stadium<br />

with James Bond? And who 3 __________ predict how<br />

far this process of evolution will have travelled by the<br />

time the new prince reaches the throne? From the pit to<br />

the Palace in three generations? Surely it is the perfect<br />

fairytale for a nation that grows more middle-class 9 by<br />

the year.<br />
