What are your predictions? I am sure it will be something traditional like Alice or James.

Anniebach Fri 01-May-15 09:50:21

Hope it is a boy, God help the child if a girl

shysal Sat 02-May-15 07:58:54

She is in labour!

I won't bother turning the news on then shysal as they will just fill it with pure speculation and fill the gap rubbish.
Hope she has an easy delivery and all is revealed before the day is out.

As a Republican, I don't consider this baby to be more important than any other baby born in the world today. I wish them all a good life. although that's highly unlikely for some.

Faye Sat 02-May-15 11:42:01

It's a girl.

Ana Sat 02-May-15 11:44:27

Oh good! smile crown

rosequartz Sat 02-May-15 11:52:28

Well, that is very well organised! One of each.
Welcome to Princess alexandrina charlotte matilda elizabeth diana carole alys mary georgiana louisa anne catherine philippa whoever ++++++
Or none of the above names grin

Lovely! smile

As a royalist, jackie, I agree!

Maggiemaybe Sat 02-May-15 11:58:41

Great name, *rosequartz! grin

jo1book Sat 02-May-15 13:34:19

I only pray she is tall and beautiful, or the press will not be kind.

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 02-May-15 13:42:44

Fantastic news! crown smile

Ana Sat 02-May-15 13:45:12

I hope she grows up to look nothing like Diana, or we'll never hear the end of the comparisons...

Charleygirl Sat 02-May-15 14:39:59

I fancy Alice Louise for two of her many names. I do hope that Diana is not one of the many.

rubysong Sat 02-May-15 15:02:55

My prediction is Mary (to be known as May). Other names to include , Elizabeth Victoria Alice.
(DS2 hopes not Alice as he wants that name for a hypothetical sometime in the future baby.)

rosequartz Sat 02-May-15 19:02:58

Thanks rubysong I forgot to add Mary to the list!! and Victoria and Frances.
The list is beginning to sound like a female football team!

rubylady Sat 02-May-15 20:33:59

Well, they've took their little bundle home now. Of course, they wanted to be home in time for Britain's Got Talent and to order their takeaway! grin

MrsPickle Sat 02-May-15 20:37:53

I hope she doesn't inheit the genes of the rather scary Eugenie or Beatrice.

Anniebach Sat 02-May-15 22:37:13

They have started, a Sunday newspaper headline with photograph

The New Peoples Princess

rosequartz Sat 02-May-15 22:52:31

Oh, for goodness' sake! that is sad (meaning pathetic)

rosequartz Sat 02-May-15 22:53:29

I am beginning to feel sorry for her, privileged though she might be

She did look a nice bonny baby though, in her snug bonnet.

Anniebach Sat 02-May-15 23:15:56

Every photograph in the press will also have one of Diana as this little one grows up, expect they are already trying to dig out one of Diana as a baby, sickening to want a new life to take the place of a dead person

rosequartz Sat 02-May-15 23:19:28

[groan]

Although I suppose all families say eagerly 'who does he/she look like, oh, she's got Great Aunt Agatha's nose and Grandad's eyebrows (poor thing)'

jo1book Sun 03-May-15 09:42:03

It would only be a wicked fairy that wished this little Princess to be like Diana, who was needy, mixed-up, unhappily married and died young. Not even a Republican would wish this upon a baby.

rosequartz Sun 03-May-15 09:46:38

New life, new start with two loving parents, whoever she looks like.

hildajenniJ Sun 03-May-15 09:47:03

Have you seen the photos? In the Sunday Telegraph the new Princess doesn't half look like the Queen!!! Well that's how I see her. Lovely baby though, an ounce heavier than my son! I wish her long life and happiness always. smile
