Prince William and Kate's First Daughter Could Be Queen

An undemocratic, if mostly symbolic, monarch is not exactly a modern institution. But the UK government wants to bring succession into the 21st century by ending "male primogeniture."

Prince William and Kate Middleton's Wedding Website

Released by "condoms of distinction" maker Crown Jewels, these commemorative love sheaths "combine the strength of a Prince with the yielding sensitivity of a Princess-to-be."
