Yeah but she had to go through a religious marriage ceremony. *shudders* You make it sound like an imposition. I bet she enjoyed every minute of it.

Maybe she did, no idea. But from the images I saw it looked horrendous. All that kneeling and pomp and talk about god gives me the absolute heeby jeebies. I couldn't even watch it all cos I was so creeped out. That's why I'm saying I would never marry into the royal family cos I would not be prepared to do that for anyone.

I gather that Louis the Sixteenth put a stop to the delivering in public thing after MA nearly died during her first labour. She must have been relieved.

I don't think he looks exactly like his brother. A lot better looking. William is looking more and more like Charles every day. If I were Kate I'd be worried about having an ugly baby. Those British upper crust genes are ugly and strong.

Yeah it's weird really. The Queen was very attractive, Margaret too, but none of her kids have inherited that

Yes, I saw some pics of the queen when younger and she was quite attractive I thought. Maybe if they have a girl she will pick up the better looking genes. I hope so for her sake. Maybe all the ugliness is on the y chromsome. Harry isn't too bad though, he needs to pick up a nice girl and have babies and that side of the royals might at least be good looking. In terms of Brit money, how far down the line to these royals get the royal treatment or whatever? Once Harry has babies, do any of the side family have any claim to royal bursar? or do even Harries kids ?

Harry's kids will be in the same position as Margaret's I think ... tho as this is a more media obsessed age they will probably wind up minor celebrities anyway

The names will be announced a few days later, the baptism will follow after some weeks. Generally, in the case of a direct heir to the throne which Baby Cambridge will be, the baptism is conducted by the two English Archbishops together, one attending to the words the other to the actions.
Prince Albert's old nanny had been imported from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to look after little George is said to have complained that the words and actions must be performed by the same person and that the baptism was not be valid. Queen Victoria said that if the nanny did not like she had better do it again herself.
So she did.

I think the Danish royals didn't reveal the name of the kids until the actual christening.

.... and we now know that it is a little prince - thus narrowing the scope for name prediction ...

Humph, that cuts out most of my favourite names, like Boadicea and Jezabel.

I'll bet there will be a lot of updating on Wikipedia today, changing all the entries for the people in line to the throne and demoting them.

They are quite secure with the current monarch having 4 kids, lots of grandkids and 3 great grand kids.
