To think please not Arthur

It's tipped to be the new prince's name. I know we're all supposed to love old men's names but Arthur is just too awful.

Come on Kate & Will - you know you want to call him Milo or Ryan. Just do it!

This is going to be anticlimactic. Sigh

Prince Harold.

Really? Not to the parents it won't be. It's cock all to do with anyone else.

Damn.

I should have put money on it!

I said it would be Bertie, for the Queen’s dad Smile

Surely not! Please someone tell them what a Prince Albert is! Shock

SelkieUnderLand · 26/04/2018 18:38

if they do that, they have no brains.

BarbaraOcumbungles · 26/04/2018 18:41

Albert really is the ugliest name Confused

Tawdrylocalbrouhaha · 26/04/2018 18:48

That would explain the delay - all their friends and family begging them to chose ANY other name!

SenecaFalls · 26/04/2018 20:03

Maybe they are trying to explain the Prince Albert thing to the Queen. And no one has quite figured out how to say it.

MeetPrinceHobnob · 26/04/2018 20:04

LapdanceShoeshine that is genus detective work.... unless they are trying to fool us ll Grin.

*genius

LarkDescending · 26/04/2018 20:06

Not genius (it’s the DM after all!).

If you tweak the URL a tiny bit you get to the page for Prince Albert - who was married to Queen Victoria. He does have a page, and it isn’t new.

Bettiedraper · 26/04/2018 20:06

Arthur = Artie

Albert? Ugh

Are you sure you should be contributing here?

MotherofDinosaurs · 26/04/2018 20:27

I think Albert is nice. Good, British royal name. Infinitely better than Jaiden/Brayden/Kaiden...

LarkDescending · 26/04/2018 20:34

Prince W: Granny, we’ve settled on Prince Albert. Can we have permission to announce it?

HM: FFS Wills, didn’t you learn anything at that expensive school? Get googling.

Prince W: Yikes - can’t unsee that! Back to the drawing board. Let’s put something out about me being best man to buy some time.

LapdanceShoeshine · 26/04/2018 20:49

Damn!

I did wonder if it could really be that obvious Grin Thanks, Lark!

The page for old Prince Albert lists all his names though:

Prince Franz August Karl Albert Emanuel

New one could be Augustus Smile

(I do like Albert/Bertie though...)

19lottie82 · 26/04/2018 21:34

According to the DM a website has been registered for Prince Albert in the same format as George and Charlotte have.

Ladbrokes have stopped taking bets.

Prince Albert? They can’t!
