It's a .................... .

Meghan was obviously still in some discomfort, probably post-natal pain although the stilettos were doing her no favours.
Beautiful baby and doing wonders for a British baby clothes firm.

Come along Gonegirl and cathacker, nuance is nuance. I assume you didn't really think William told Kate to shut up? For goodness sake! But he did put a fond hand on her back and guide her away. She looked troubled poor thing, probably sick of being attacked by the media and those eager to think she and Megan hate each other. Endearing to think that perhaps they DO get up in the night.

Hello grannygranby, I studied anthropology, nice to have someone else around interested in the field and in research into human behaviour. Helps you perceive nuance as well as bullshit.

"Come along Gonegirl"...

Love it!

Poor Kate,

Press ‘what do you think of the new baby ?

Answer , lovely news.

Media, Kate had little to say about the new baby, seems the rift hasn’t been healed.

Archie Harrison Mountbatten Windsor

I immediately thought of Educating Archie - wasn’t he a dummy ?

Only two Christian names , unusual for the Windsors

Modern names for a child of a modern couple. Love them and not surprised about Harrison. Well done. They have gone up in my opinion.

Lovely names.

Great name, beautiful baby, I wish them all much happiness

Oh I actually thought he told her to shut up!

Love the names. Good choices

Love the baby's names! The photocall went much better than I anticipated ... much more natural and un-posed, and the baby looked gorgeous. I thought Meghan was brave to wear a cream dress. I would have been too worried about possible blood stains (sorry, TMI)

It's also a lovely relaxed family photo of the Queen and Philip meeting Archie with Doria looking on.

Harrison??? A royal baby has Harrison as one of his names? Modern, but not, dare I say it, classy? Is it popular in America?

Last time I heard the name Harrison was in the supermarket. His mother (I presume) was screaming "Get here now Harrison!! Just stop f*****g about!"

Don’t like the names , but I am a traditionalist

Yes, lovely picture with the Queen and D of E and Doria. They all looked so happy.

Annie Princess Anne didn't stick to traditional Royal names with Zara and Peter, and they in turn named their children unusual names (eg. Savannah, etc) If the child is never going to hold a Royal position, to me it doesn't matter a jot. As Archie is Harry's son, I think "Harrison" is sweet though perhaps a bit twee.

It's a fine thing when an over-privileged couple's baby gets bigger headlines than the precarious plight of our planet.

Perhaps it's because, just for a short while, we can have a break from the doom and gloom that is real life!

Day6 - I wonder if we shop in the same supermarket? Both names round here are usually shouted in the same manner

Does Harrison = Harry’s son I wonder?

And bloody bastard Brexit!!

Sparkle I don’t mean traditional Windsor names, I like Zara , Savannah is sweet , American or Canadian I think ,

I'm not keen on the names. I volunteer in a primary school. There are lots of Archies and Harrisons.

Not keen either, just do not like the names.

Archie is very popular along with Charlie, Alfie and Bertie. Young parents register their children with the shortened form of a traditional name, just like Meghan and Harry will do. I have decided to like Harrison because it has a Scandi feel, that Harry's son. In addition, isn't Harrison a name used in the US to a nod to his mother's background.
I remain firmly in the good news camp on this. I am so relieved that my general irritation with politics, Brexit, wars in the Middle East, poverty starvation etc etc hasn't spilled over into being a grumpy granny about a young couple delighted to have a healthy first born.

I like the names. I like the little baba too. ??
