...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

Sorry Phoenix

kittylester Wed 01-May-19 19:02:46

So did I phienix and I'm very unsure too.

When they got married, I thought quite kindly of Meghan, not so sure now..........hmm

Princess Frances is a bit of a mouthful

I’m hoping it’ll just be Lady Frances, Callistemon. Someone on GN who seemed to know what she was talking about said on a previous thread that this baby wouldn’t be a Prince or Princess. I’m easily persuaded (and she may well have been wrong!).

Sorry annie not aware of Clooney gossip!

Anniebach Wed 01-May-19 17:01:09

In with Clooneys mcem ?

mcem Wed 01-May-19 16:53:15

Ok, I 'll come clean!
I know I told some of you that my new GS arrived on Easter Sunday but actually my DS and Dil are caring for the new Prince until Meghan decides it's convenient to have him delivered.

Callistemon Wed 01-May-19 16:31:13

Will the names include Doria and Diana?

Oh, sorry, Gabriella said that it's a boy.

Dorian? Dion?

Anniebach Wed 01-May-19 16:24:10

As Megan is suppose to be bringing the Windsors into the 21st century she will choose ‘Miss’ surely

crazyH Wed 01-May-19 16:19:24

Thanks Alisa xx

Callistemon Wed 01-May-19 16:17:08

My money's on a girl called Frances
Princess Frances is a bit of a mouthful though, unless they shorten it to Frannie

Callistemon Wed 01-May-19 16:16:04

Why aren't the Sussexes in Sussex?
Probably for the same reason that the Devonshires aren't in Devon and the Duke of Norfolk lives in Sussex ….. whatever that reason is grin

Anniebach Wed 01-May-19 16:09:46

Spencer ?

Nonnie Wed 01-May-19 16:06:01

Fred, Ida, Ernest, Enid, Agnes, Arthur...........................

lemongrove Wed 01-May-19 15:54:28

I think we may get a surprise with the new baby’s name, as it may not be a traditional one at all, perhaps something a little more USA......Carson?

lemongrove Wed 01-May-19 15:51:06

A Boy Named Sue? grin

Maggiemaybe Wed 01-May-19 15:23:04

And you, breeze. You've certainly got the better track record!

breeze Wed 01-May-19 15:12:17

Good luck maggie ?

Maggiemaybe Wed 01-May-19 14:00:19

Hoping GG54's sparky is wrong as I have twenty quid on a girl called Alice. Although I think I still get paid out if it's a boy called Alice

My money's on a girl called Frances, breeze, so I might be able to claim for a boy if they misspell Francis...

I was wrong on all 3 of William's lot.

breeze Wed 01-May-19 13:24:47

oh and a little bit of sexism grin

I am now holding my breath that I forgot a closed bracket. Oh gawd. They're gonna get me shock

breeze Wed 01-May-19 13:22:44

Rufus2 has no one taught you sarcasm is the lowest form of wit grin I, however, am a big fan of sarcasm. I use it often and quite frankly, would not be without it. So (or is it therefore hmm I thoroughly enjoyed your post.

It 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

Go to the top of the class and give yourself a gold star wink

Well done Rufus! 3 apostrophes all in the correct places.!!
Mum!: Please don't tell me we've yet another retired school teacher inspector in our midst, but thank you for your generous marking of my punctuation! wink It's been a life-long legacy of my excellent grammer school education at a boys only school, no distraction from girls, no TV and we "read" Latin to improve our English, like what I've said before. grin Some female teachers were allowed because men were away fighting WW2, but they only taught "soft" easy subjects like Geog., History and now look how useful they've turned out to be, especially Geog! shock (how's my grammer going? Awesome, cool, modern?)
As you can tell, I've also graduated from the Ernie Wise School of English Useage (Signwriting our Specialty!)

nonnasusie Wed 01-May-19 06:58:17
