Re: It'sa Boy!!!
It was good news indeed @Owlunar . I am self proclaimed Royalist (hence the name Queenie). I wonder what they'll call the little chap?

Re: It'sa Boy!!!
It’s great news @Owlunar I wonder what they’ll call him.
I saw Harry on tv this morning announcing the birth. The look on his face how happy he is. It’s so nice to see.

Re: It'sa Boy!!!
Happy, positive news is always good to share @Owlunar! Alexander sounds like a great name, do you know when we'll find out what the actual name is?

Re: It'sa Boy!!!
Hi all
I saw Harry on TV today and he said the name will be revealed in the next few days
I guess they have to get it past the Queen - and there is a lot of tradition around the names of royal bablies but this little fellow might not be a prince - he is 7th in line to the throne - so we will have to wait

Re: It'sa Boy!!!
That is true @Owlunar, plus when they become king/queen apparently their name can change as well? I think that is what has happened with past royalty, there are so many rules and requirements!

Re: It'sa Boy!!!
You are right @Ali11
George VI first name was Albert but Queen Victoria was unhappy that her husband Prince Albert was never crowned king and was always only her consort - and although she couldn't rule on the subject she did not want anyone to be crowned King Albert
So Prince Albert - Duke of York - was crowned King George VI - and at the time Albert was considered by some to be "too Germanic" - strange to think about that in this day and age
The Queen has already said that Kate will be Queen Catherine when the time comes - but you can't change the minds of the public - I guess we will always call her Kate
Interestingly though - people of my grandmother's age and lived long enough to see Elizabeth crowned lived saw 6 reigning monarchs
Victoria
Edward VII
George V
Edward Vlll
George VI
Elizabeth ll
And Elizabeth is our longest reigning monarch
Gotta say - I wish they had more interesting names -
