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!!!

Thanks Queenie

 

I heard some ideas about names on The Studio this morning

 

Alexander, Philip, Albert - maybe - I am going for Alexander myself

 

well done the list is Donald - heaven forbid that one

 

I like Alexander myself

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 as .. Larry .. @BlueBay @Owlunar soz lol

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

 

@Ali11 @TAB @BlueBay @Queenie 

 

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 -
