Royal baby?

My GS2 looks even more angelic than George thatbags especially when he's throwing his shoes across the room when I'm trying to get them on his feet

Home in time for Britain's Got Talent and a takeaway!

What a gorgeous little poppet she is

The royal baby here at last, those people who have been waiting all week, camping out must be glad.I heard the news just an hour ago, and haven't been subjected to all the gubbins about it as we have been out for the day ( our wedding anniversary).I am not a royalist, but still pleased the baby has arrived and is healthy of course.

Wouldn't a golden eagle have been great Loopylou. We commoners have to make do with a stork.

My GS2, who is a few months older than George, looks like an angel, elegran, but....!

He looks like a nice little boy.

I love the pics of little George in the news today

Congratulations to W and K, a lovely wee girl, and to every other new parent today. Can't help but think about Diana missing out on what us Grans have had the joy to experience. Could not help but give a thought also for the nurse who felt she had to take her life ( when George was born ) after inadvertently giving information out to the two Australian broadcasters.

rubysong, that's lovely!
I think it referred to the golden easel upon which the proclamation of a Royal birth is posted.

It is, daffydil.

I have a feeling that Princess Anne's full name is Anne Elizabeth Alice Louise.

Best wishes to them all. I do feel a bit for the correspondents who have to keep waffling outside the hospital waiting for something to happen. Nick Whitchell seemed very 'tongue in cheek' earlier as if he had plenty of things he would rather be doing.
I thought I just heard one of them say the news had been brought to Buckingham Palace by a golden eagle. (Must get my ears checked.)

You're absolutely right Soutra!
My spelling skills aren't exactly top notch
Thank you

They are probably syncopated, loopylou, their cheesey grins are just like those swimmers! But might I hazard a guess that your predictive keyboard didn't recognise sycophantic??

The inane questions are beyond belief, if they can't ask something meaningful they the reporters should shut up!
Personally I find the 'royal' reporters syncopated and generally sprouting utter drivel (especially one of them from the BBC)

8ib 3 oz is a fair weight. As somebody said, she hardly looked pregnant. I fancy Alice Louise for two of her many names.

A new baby is always to be celebrated and I wish them all well. I do agree about the TV news reporters asking stupid questions. On BBC lunch time news one of them asked another journalist, "Now they have a boy and a girl, do you think Kate and William will call it a day or might they have a third?" and I find myself shouting at the TV "How does she know you stupid b****r."

DH has been listening to the radio in his workshop. He came in to announce the news and was miffed GN had beaten him too it

Quick work, Kate! Now let's put a stop to all this speculation about the name - then we can get on with the election...

Its lovely news a little girl! as Melanie Wilkes says ' Its always a lovely day when babies come'.

On my son's birthday too! Casting my mind back to my labour on the 2nd May, for most of that day I thought I was going to give birth to a princess, but in the end he came out minus a tiara....but with a couple of non princess additions, he was pink though, well pinkish shade of puce

As with every birth , a safe delivery and a healthy baby is to be welcomed

It is lovely news. I won't put a downer on it just because childbirth is an everyday occurrence. Remember that book by Lennart Nilsson back in the 70's? "Everyday Miracle: Child is Born". That title just about sums it up for me.
Let's allow ourselves to share in this joy, amidst all the doom and gloom in the news - as my DD remarked, we've had the terrible news of the Nepal earthquake, not to mention the shocking activities of ISIS terrorists, so let's just for now have a smile for the new royal princess. Why not?

Great news, a new princess.
