I am glad they passed that new law.

Maybe Diana Elizabeth. That would be nice.

I kept looking again to make sure...

Since I know and like the OP, I'll recommend it, LOL, but I tend to look for breaking news in LBN...

...with how little there was on my Twitterfeed about the Royal sprog being dropped. Quite a contrast from the tiresome wall to wall UK media coverage.

Mostly my twitterfeed has been the usual John Terry joke, suggestions that the Royal sprog should be called Joffrey from Game Of Thrones fans. (I'm not nearly enough of a Republican to be that unkind) and suggestions for novelty beer names for real ale breweries who might wish to cash in on any deman for memorabilia.

Richard was an enlightened king for his time, and Henry was a murderous dictator.

If it's a boy, I'd love to see him named Richard in honour of Richard III, who is finally being recognised as a much-maligned king.

the different houses of the monarchs over a long period of time. It seems Shakespeare had an agenda when he wrote "Richard III," which was to please the current monarch, who was from a rival dynasty. It was news to me!

5 or 6 hours, I tend to forget. I've had terrible jet lag when I've gone in that direction.

The language barrier wasn't my only problem. I had to leave work to call from home, took me three different tries - three nights in a row - until I finally got through.

Baby might just make it into the royal sign of Leo.

Edit to add: That's July 22nd.

That's allowing for Daylight Saving, so quite possible.

and Jupiter aligns with Mars, then peace will guide the planets, and love will steer the stars.

I wonder if that would make the baby on the cusp?

There you have it!

And Kate's got her share, too.

And Kate is very pretty. Whatever gender, the baby has two lovely women in his/her background.

He has that House of Windsor schnozz....

..

The Queen has the Moon in Leo, as does Prince Philip; Charles has Leo Rising, and the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret were Leo, as is Princess Anne.

I rather expected it would be Cancer, like Diana and William - it might be, if it's a quick birth; otherwise, Sun is in Leo by 5.00 pm.

Edit to add: Have done a bit more checking, and this baby could have Moon in Capricorn, which would help it relate well to Katherine. The Moon goes into Aquarius just after 8.30 pm, and that would give her the same Moon as Diana. Fascinating how family dynamics play out.

Here's a link to the Royal Baby Monitor.

I shall look for the live link to her room for you.

Here's another door for you to chuckle over.

.

Will they then rule together if/when they ascend to the thrown?

if they can be separated? Co-monarchs? How about twins delivered by Caesarian, where the docter decides which one is "born" first? Yikes!

Although given her size, I think twins are rather unlikely.

Is there ANY reason that these useless riyals should be getting so much attention because they're having another useless royal?

Posts like these remind me of the flying monkeys in The Wizard of Oz movie... the way they fly in and shit all over everyone else's enjoyment. I can just hear the maniacal cackling in the background. Geez, you could just let people enjoy looking forward to a baby being born without shitting all over it.

I was actually surprised that it took a whole five hours and 34 posts for one to fly in.

By the way, I've been hoping for a girl. I think because it will be a nice change from royal sons.

If only the millions of undereducated, underfed, homeless and sick children of this world could get even a fraction of the world's attention as does this "royal" baby. Guess it really does prove that many folks still believe that some people are simply born to a higher station than others.

We spend day after day bemoaning the state of the world and do what we can make it better.

I am hardly a royal watcher but I wish this young family well and am not going to negate the enthusiasm just because they're royals.

All my ancestors were from there and I have visited twice. But I do not give a shit about the royal family.

Seems he roomed with a leftie at Cambridge, and he asked the housemaster if he could join the Labour Party. He was told he couldn't, but when Blair was elected, Charles was thrilled (and probably ultimately disappointed).

But I think Her Maj is definitely Tory. She was a fan of Ronnie Reagan.

I'm going to assume you didn't and chose this time to be serious.

Something about the term "royal gynecologist" just begs for a joke writer.
