Baby's on the way.....

Mycatisahacker Mon 06-May-19 20:13:17

I just can’t get my head around anyone who stands for hours on a pavement for these events! And so excited! I mean I am happy for them but for goodness sake.

Unite the nation my arse! grin

All babies are cute. And most are very much loved by their families.

Welcome baby Sussex.

You share your birthday with my husband who is 67y today and very much loved by his family.

And Tony Blair, who is a year younger and much wealthier than my husband.

And George Clooney, who is younger still and almost as handsome. (I wish!)

I'm wondering about DeShawn, Tyrel, Marvin?

My lovely daughters birthday today also, we went to
see the seals at Horsey beach and dinner was fish and
chips at Diss, we know how to live?

How about Homer for one of his names? Classical, American (Bart's father in the the TV comedy series) and in that connection carrying echoes of a surname that harks back to the last American to marry into the Windsors?

Seeing smiling Harry, to me he looks so like his dad

paddyann Tue 07-May-19 00:23:50

a bit of sense on one of my sites this evening
"There are or will be 2200 babies born in the UK today ,we wish every one of them and their parents congratuations an da happy healthy future " Its just another baby folks ,maybe we can get a break from it very soon

Apparently the Daily Mail has over twenty pages of coverage! shock

Sara65 Tue 07-May-19 07:07:52

What can you possibly say! Welcome baby Prince, and pleased all is well.
I think this is the first royal baby, that I really have no interest in beyond that.
I think the show biz speculation about godparents is putting me off

Anniebach Tue 07-May-19 08:30:17

Am going to make some cross sorry.

. So stage managed, Harry sends for a tv camera , does his ‘my wonderful wife’ speech , now a two day wait for a photograph which will be so twee, bet they are rehearsing their starry eyed gaze.

harrigran Tue 07-May-19 08:54:16

Except this baby will not be a prince, minor royals do not get an automatic title.

Calendargirl Tue 07-May-19 08:54:34

I think the name will be announced at the photo session. Bertie in honour of the queen’s father would be a nice touch, but as it’s already been “taken” by Daniel and Sinead in Corrie is probably considered a bit naff. But then they probably don’t tune in to Corrie.

Calendargirl Tue 07-May-19 08:57:00

And George may be in there somewhere in honour of baby arriving on GC’s birthday.

Anniebach Tue 07-May-19 09:00:23

Prince is for the monarchs children and grandchildren, not great grandchildren unless queenie changes this.

glammanana Tue 07-May-19 09:44:17

Such wonderful news I am sopleased for them both,Princess Diana would have been so proud of her boys and made a brillient Grandmother.

Anniebach Tue 07-May-19 09:55:25

As titles have been mentioned, Diana wasn’t a princess

Grandma70s Tue 07-May-19 10:01:53

He will be called a prince if the queen dies and Charles becomes king. I think it’s faintly ridiculous that MM is called Her Royal Highness simply because she is married to a prince. She’s no more HRH than I am.

Sparklefizz Tue 07-May-19 10:06:35

I had to smile when I read that it is not known whether Harry and Meghan will want the baby to have a royal title. Am I being mean when I say I know that one of them will !!

Sara65 Tue 07-May-19 10:08:23

Really? Which one?
