Another 'royal' Baby

I didn't think it would be long once the Olympics were out of the way.

merlot!

Maybe there will be a non-traditional name for this one, assuming Zara is pleased that her mother chose to break with convention. Will the baby have a title? Not sure how it works for the next generation.

Since Zara and Peter Phillips don't have titles - presumably the Queen gave Princess Anne the choice - it's highly unlikely that Zara's children would have titles and Peter's children don't.

The official line is that they will be Master or Miss (but that would only be used in formal circumstances - Court List or whatever)

I wonder if she's got a pony lined up for the baby yet?

Since the Princess Royal's children don't have titles, this baby would not have one.

cc. The Queen could bestow a title on her great grandchild if she wanted but she's unlikely to as she didn't for the rest of the family.

Anne didn't want titles for her children, did she? (Unlike Andrew...)

I wonder what will happen if the poor child doesn't like horses? Or hunting? Or sport?

The main thing is this baby must not cost me any money.

What do you mean 'must not' Frank? Do you write to the Treasury and tell them that none of your taxes must go to the Royals? I would love to tell them not to use my money on a useless nuclear deterrent, but that's not the way it works.

The so called royal family are just a bunch of scroungers.
