How can they say whole country will celebrate?.

The Sun (Son) was brilliant.

I think it was probably the Sun newspaper who put pressure on the palace to get the news put out electronically rather than wait for the easel. They really wanted to get that one out.

I hope they make the press wait for a month to hear the name or see the baby again, and just get on with being new parents. How to f**k up a family in one easy lesson. Do they have nothing better to do?

Are you one of these old miseries, Frank, who does not want anyone to celebrate anything? Cheer up!

I loved the shawl. Do hope it was a handmedown. I think the car seat was too as it's not the latest. Will be so delighted if she starts a trend of using stuff that friends have passed on. My DDs did but you see so much spent in John Lewis baby dept that it beggars belief.

No - shawl not a hand down and already sold out online I believe

Did you bags the last one bluebell? I knew you were a closet Royalist

Read all about it on Twitter!

"not the latest"

in baby car seats

O.M.G!!!!!!!!

Do people really know stuff like that?

Fred is his Grandad's nickname. Remember the cuff links on Diana's wedding night.

No...

I wasn't there.

Yes, Fred and Gladys!

I checked out the shawl but it was the usual "Kate Effect" to buy from British businesses. Unfortunately, when I checked the internet information on the shawl, it appears that it was machine made. Apparently the yarn used was not from a British-sourced fleece. Hence the £45 affordable-to-all cost. In fact, given what British yarn suppliers/knitters/crocheters can offer, I was surprised that no-one has sent them such a unique gift. I think I will make a shawl for the baby of Mike and Zara using the best of British yarns. It also makes you wonder about the integrity of the people who sell commercially. It is very easy to say that an item was bought from them but that they have run out of stock and now have a waiting list. You see this phrase in all sorts of retail from facial creams to footwear. Who still falls for that old chestnut! Apart from me, that is.

May I remind everybody that msn said the whole country will celebrate.
They should have checked their facts as I did not celebrate so by definition the whole country did not celebrate.

Morning Frank. Innocent baby with larger than life rellies. MSN is American so you have to make excuses. I doubt that Outer Mongolia knew anything either. Nor Chechneya. Personally. It all went pear shaped after Wills was born, don't you think.
