The wife of a 'Royal' is traditionally expected to produce two offspring - the first one to act as the 'heir' to any title, and the second one just as a 'spare' in case anything befalls the first in line. Often referred to "An heir and a Spare'

The 'Spare' is due to arrive imminently!

Born in England = English

My ancestors may have been Saxon or Norman, or something else altogether (I really don't know, or care) does it make any difference?

Seconded - I was born in England - one set of grandparents were born in Wales; one or more (extremely ancient) ancestors were born in Africa.... At least, it is thought that homo sapiens started there... so explain again, please - what nationality am I?
"Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel" - but how is the nasty and inaccurate branding of people described? Racism?
