...for what it's worth, from an electrician who was working at Windsor Castle, that MM had her baby yesterday and it's a boy.
I pooh-poohed the news but he said that he overheard a footman being told by a woman in the room next to one where he was working.
He said Harry being at the Marathon must have been to put people off the scent as the couple said publicly that they would not make any announcement until several days after the birth.
It remains to be seen whether he's telling the truth...hmm

Why the need for a bus for the birth of a baby ?

A police escorted coach spotted near Windsor. How big is she shock

Gonegirl Thu 02-May-19 17:28:40

Actually, someone hs already said that.

(Read the thread woman)

Gonegirl Thu 02-May-19 17:27:19

Well, I've heard just read that Harry's off to Holland next week for the Invicta Games shock (Bad daddy alert!)

Now that would be a result, Callistemon! grin

Callistemon Thu 02-May-19 16:06:55

I'm not holding my breath that it'll be the one, by the way! If Gabriella's source is right I've even got the baby's sex wrong (again).
I confidently predict twins, Maggiemaybe - one of each

Frances and Francis.

Who said the queen visited them, she lives in Windsor castle they live in the grounds .

Floradora9 Thu 02-May-19 15:35:54

The queen has been to visit them so something has happened . Frankly I could not care less.

In the tight white dress in mid January she looked as if she was about to produce twins at any moment.

Is it any wonder that by May many people are asking what the heck is going on?

Rufus2 Thu 02-May-19 13:47:09

contained said sarkiness, bad grammar, spelling errors and a general air of 'couldn't give a stuff'. All of which I found entertaining and appealing grin
Breeze; Thank you so much for those compliments! You call it sarcasm; I call it satire (take a look at vocabulary.com) ; Barry Humphries, the world famous Aussie comedian said "If you have to explain a joke or satire you might as well give up", but I'm sure you understand (as a retired teacher inspector) that my post was "tongue-in-cheek", aimed at pedants, as was yours!? Your grammatical skills are obviously much more betterer than like what mine are! grin
Seriously; "breeze"; where did you blow in from? Cool breezes are always welcome here and you've taken me back many years to "the Breeze and I" Caterina Valente (You-Tube). "Twist again like we did last summer" by Chubby Checker is on the same clip. That brings back painful memories! grin
Cheers

No, not the Pope! grin It's a family name I really like, and a Royal name back in Tudor times (Henry VII's granddaughter/Lady Jane Grey's mother). And of course, as you say, Diana's mother and her own middle name.

Grammaretto Thu 02-May-19 12:26:31

DNA tests? Down the ages there must have been a few indiscretions. I wonder who is the true heir to the throne?
Young Charlotte is the image of the queen so no mix ups there.
Diana's mother was Frances. Was that the reason for suggesting that name? Not the Pope surely.

confused

breeze Thu 02-May-19 10:12:00

If I were Chris Evans I'd keep very quiet. Before the rumours start that he was in the know because he is the father grin

It would be James Hewitt all over again grin

All that red hair grin

Anniebach Thu 02-May-19 10:03:59

Would not be surprised if the photograph releases will show Harry holding the baby

GrannyGravy13 Thu 02-May-19 09:59:08

Prince Harry is off to the Netherlands next week to launch The Invictus Games which are going to be held in The Hague next.

I assume Baby Sussex will have arrived by then as I cannot imagine Meghan as a first time Mum-in-waiting being happy for him to be out of the Country if it hasn't??

blondenana Thu 02-May-19 09:37:18

baby

blondenana Thu 02-May-19 09:36:58

Chris Evans said on his radio programme he thinks Meghan has already had the beby, because of the Queen visiting Harry and Meghan, as it is very unusual for the Queen to visit anyone,
We shall see,i am saying a boy named Charles Henry Phillip

Jaxie Thu 02-May-19 09:27:33

Has it got ginger hair though? Only asking.

Callistemon Wed 01-May-19 20:13:56

Oh, that's OK then, Lady Frances sounds acceptable Maggiemaybe grin

No problem with the spelling, kitty!

I know one shouldn't believe everything one reads, but............
