According to David Smith (economics editor of The Sunday Times) "...in 1982 the birth of a royal heir (William) coincided with accelerating UK recovery. 1.3% alone in Q2 1982".
David Smith says this fact is unrelated to anything, but presumably he is not a Jungian.
In any case you do not have to be a Jungian to understand the symbolism of what is about to take place.
The birth of a royal heir will secure the stability of the government for at least the next hundred years (given the likely advances in medical science we can expect to take place). Dull and middle-class and dutiful the House of Windsor might be, but while they hold all the reins of power (military, judicial, religious, administrative, governmental, ceremonial etc) there will be no revolutions or coups or religious destabilisations or extreme lurches in policy or systemic corruption or presidential megalomania etc. The United Kingdom will remain a safe place to live and work and invest far into the future.
Therefore the "safety signal" that will be announced by the birth of a royal heir will also be a subliminal announcement to the world that the United Kingdom is a safe place to invest your money.
