Hyperemesis Gravidarum sounds like a Harry Potter spell, 

Isn't that the spell Harry used to finally defeat Lord Voldemort?

Hyperemesis Gravidarum is morning sickness on steroids. The rare malady that has put the expecting Duchess of Cambridge in a hospital affects one in 50 pregnant women. The condition could be linked to hormonal changes that occur in during the first trimester for women who are having babies, doctors believe.

But why should we, as Americans really care if an English princess has morning sickness or even if she doesn't why should we care that she's even pregnant.

Didn't Americans fight and win a Revolutionary War to tell the English that their Royals don't rule us?

What is the fascination some Americans seem to have with British Royalty?  Frankly, I don't get it, and I lived in England for three years as a kid.

To be honest, I am a lot more interested in the Harry Potter books and movies than I am about the Royal Family.  How about you?
