Nick Clegg assures a joyful nation that the government is putting finishing touches to legislation that will update the "very old-fashioned" rules of succession (Queen – and world – find out Kate is pregnant, 4 December). How thoroughly modern then it will be to have a head of state decided on merely by whose bed he or she happened to be born in, regardless of gender. No more medievalism for us, eh, Nick.

• With so much happening (Leveson, Syria, Israeli settlements), why can't a simple story about Kate Middleton being pregnant be consigned to its rightful place on perhaps page 16. Half the front page and all of pages 2 and 3 is ridiculously out of proportion when it's just another piece of celebrity nonsense.

• If the broadcast media continues in a similar vein for the next six months, I fear we'll all have our own version of morning sickness to deal with.
