Beatrice is more of a “English” name than an American one.
Paul McCartney might be 79 when this kid gets out of high school, but Paul is so damned wealthy that the child is set for life. Personally, I have a problem with old geezers having children, but that has nor stopped Tony Randall, or James Doohan from having babies. Incidentially Doohan is old enough to be McCartney’s father.
McCartney is too damn old, and Heather is a cancer survivor who might have the disease again, or pass the “cancer gene” on to her daughter (and she’s missing a leg). Maybe we should pass laws about who can breed.
Plenty of people have “second families,” either with younger wives, or through adoption, in-vitro or raising their grandchildren. Whatever your opinion, people have a right to procreate. And the child is set for life!
I like the name Beatrice. McCartney gave all his children family names (Mary was his mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Stella was both of her maternal great-grandmothers, and James Louis is Paul’s first name and his paternal grandfather. And of course Heather is daughter and wife!)
The people who are tsk-tsking should know that Beatrice was a “pleasant surprise”. Heather had been told a few years ago that she couldn’t bear children. If they had known differently, they might have chosen not to have children for the reasons you are putting forth.
Sure, the kid is set for life. How much money does it take these days to make up for losing your father when you’re young, though?
She may have a million dollar wedding someday, but I doubt the money she has will be on her mind. She’d probably be willing to trade it all so her dad could walk her down the aisle.
