Zara's baby news

True, but show jumping and eventing are probably the two main sports where men and women compete on a totally level playing field. I bet that, unlike most royal women [thinks Ann Boleyn et al] she secretly wanted a girl. Supposedly she had the baby in the morning and was home by the afternoon. Will probably be at the point to point tomorrow [she has two horses involved I believe]. I love that girl! Taking bets for baby being world champion or Olympic Gold medal winner in 20 years time. Or even first Grand National winning lady jockey [although that would have been more likely if she'd stayed with Dickie].

I think Zara would do the same with a boy, they do ride you know!

Nicholas Witchell/Schmitzchel - classic misogyny, alive and well. This little girls female relatives are a real good group of strong women, let's hope some of their genes are seen in this little one soon. She'll be on a pony as soon as she can sit up is my prediction.

Same one dd had dgd2 in end of October.

NHS hospital as well according to the news.

Great sporting MALE achievement like drunken shenanigans after a rugby match?

Mummy only has an Olympic silver medal and Granny a European Gold???

What a prat Nicholas Witchel is

Did not see anything on BBC 16.00 news. Did I blink or are they being their usual selves!

Did anybody hear that twerp Nicholas Witchell say that if the baby had been a boy we could look forward to great sporting achievement?

I wonder what her granny would have today to that.

Yippee for Zara and Mike. I bet they will be lovely down-to-earth parents.

Will the Grandma join Gransnet?

She was at a point to point on Sunday! When she won the World Championships she was quite emotional about a friend of hers that had died eventing; I wonder if she'll bame the baby after her?

Horses v Rugby.....I bet Zara and Princess Anne are punching the air.

Lovely news, I wonder how quickly she will be put on the back of a pony!

Awww! That's really nice.
