Royal Chat - All Welcome! ?

If Meghan likes 'ee' names, perhaps Gracie (like my dog)
Do fathers generally have much say in the issue?
What were your experiences?
I can't see H having much of a look in...

They could go down the American route (as presumably the move there is permanent) by going for a double barrelled one like Sally-Anne or Mary-Lou!!

Gosh, going into three pages already. Well here I am, ready to join in.

Gail Frances- Gail for Oprah, Frances for Diana and her mother.
Actually Gail Frances Markle Windsor

Is Charles going to be King Henry? Maybe because the last 2 Charles led to the monarchy being threatened!

Hmm, Henry’s haven’t exactly been shiny lights either

Liberty.

That’d make a good name for a presidential candidate.

I think Liberty Belle might be a step too far.

Well if this is a general royal thread here's my contribution. I can take them or leave them. I'm not really interested and never post on royal threads.
However, a few years ago I was nominated by my place of work to go to a garden party at Buckingham Palace. It was fabulous. All expenses were paid and me in my posh frock and hat, DH in a nice suit, sauntered past the tourists at the gates. We saw the queen and several royals. The gardens were lovely with military bands playing, a marquee serving tea, little sandwiches, cakes with little crowns on them. Later we were served ice creams. The heavens opened and we were allowed into the palace. What a memorable day Even my DH who is anti royal loved it.

Nobody does it like the Palace ?

Afternoon tea at the palace, how lovely. I’m going up to London next week for afternoon tea, but it’s not at Buckingham Palace.

I’ve booked tickets for a palace gardens tour and a picnic on the lawn in September. I’m practicing my wave already.

What ^baby naming discussion?^

We had a bet on possible names for archie’s sister.

Callistemon said aurelia
I said Artemis (being the Greek equivalent of Diana)
Others suggested Philippa Elizabeth etc

I also think Spencer may be in there ?

I don't know why I said Aurelia, it just popped into my head.

I fully expect Harry and Meghan to be reading this thread for helpful hints on baby names.
I'm sure, if this baby is a girl, then Diana will be one of her names.

Aurelia Diana Doria Elizabeth

Ixion you clever sausage!

Some of them did establish the monarchy well though. Particularly 2nd and 7th.

Dorcas is a popular name in the States.

A nice idea for a thread, but as there are so many different topics it might get confusing. I think there should be a separate forum for Royal Family with the various threads under there. There are so many things to discuss!

In the Bible named as a willing worker

They said they would bring up Archie in a "gender neutral way" so I was surprised they didn't call him Alex or Rowan for example.

Now I can see the daughter will probably have a girl's name.

If they can't bring themselves to use Diana then as someone suggested earlier, Frances might work. And it has the bonus that it can be shortened to "Frankie" .

This is a nice thread, but I agree Chestnut that a forum for royal threads would be good. There are lots of different topics that relate to the royal family.

Harry was the name chosen by his mother, Diana.
Henry seemed more appropriate for a British royal prince. So that's what they called him. But Diana got the last laugh because we all know him as Harry!! ??

So ...it's all gone quiet over Prince Andrew's under age sex allegations? Has this been well and truly brushed under the carpet?

I think Boris should have his own thread! He seems to attract a lot of discussion. ?

Sorry, his own forum not thread.
