"Why is it that we rejoice at a birth and grieve at a funeral? It is because we are not the person
involved." - Mark Twain
Economists say the royal baby will inject £240 million ($380 million) into the U.K.
economy. That figure is based on people buying food and drinks for celebrations at home and in
restaurants or pubs, as well as purchases and exports of souvenirs and memorabilia, toys, books
and media, according to the Centre for Retail Research. It's been 120 years since a still-serving
monarch was alive to see the birth of his or her great-grandchild. Bookies favorite names for the
boy are George, Charles, Philip and James.
