[1] Britain has met the heir who will certainly

change the face of monarchy for ever. Kate

and William’s son enters this world as a Royal

Highness, destined to be king of his country.

[5] Though his mother is a Duchess, the title

........ disguise the fact that there has never

been a royal child quite like Kate’s. For while

William descends from a line of monarchs,

this baby boy’s maternal grandparents once

[10] worked for British Airways and now run their

own company.

This new prince will become the first

British monarch with working-class blood

running through his veins. Monarchy these

[15] days is a precarious business, and increasingly

hard to justify – not only in terms of the funds

taxpayers donate to the Crown, but in a wider

world in which royal families seem ever more

anachronistic. This baby has arrived at a time

[20] of profound social change and evolution –

........ is why I believe a royal child with

middle-class antecedents can provide the

social alchemy that will secure the future of

the House of Windsor.

[25] William and Kate, a modern couple, lived

together quite openly for several years before

their marriage, a sensible decision condoned

by the Queen, which ........ been seen as

unthinkable less than a decade earlier. This

[30] was after prince Charles had moved in with

his divorced former mistress, Camila Parker

Bowles, a situation that would have been

equally unacceptable a few years ago.

All this evidences a rapidly evolving

[35] monarchy. Who would have suspected that

the Queen would have been seen pretending

to parachute into the Olympic stadium with

James Bond? And who ........ predict how far

this process of evolution will have travelled by

[40] the time the new prince reaches the throne?

From the pit to the Palace in three

generations? Surely it is the perfect fairytale

for a nation that grows more middle-class by

the year.

HOW TO LIVE LONG

It may be no coincidence that so many creative types have long lives. New findings show how doing what you love

can add years

One of the greatest buildings in New York City, the snow white, round drinking cup that is the Guggenheim Museum, was created by a very old man. The human genius behind that structural genius was Frank Lloyd Wright, who started designing the building in 1943, when he was 76, kept at it until ground was broken in 1956 and lived until 1959 — just shy of both his 92nd birthday and the museum's official opening.

There's something very real about the way creativity endures in the face of age — and maybe even pushes back age. By now it's a gerontological given that the active, busy brain is also the brain that stays lucid longer, that resists dementia and other cognitive problems better. And it's a biological given that sedentary, bored or depressed people are far likelier than happy and occupied ones to come down with physical ailments. Increasingly, brain research is showing that in the case of creative people, this mortal cause-and-effect pays powerful dividends — that it's not just the luck of living a long life that allows some people to leave behind such robust bodies of work but that the act of doing creative work is what helps add those extra years. And that's something that can be available to

everybody. Adapted from: http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,2151786,00.html
