Royal Baby name making me rage

588 replies

Firstly, I know that I am ridiculous and unreasonable and totally over invested but it is GIVING ME THE ABSOLUTE RAGE that the Royals haven't released the name of the baby yet. I'm sure they are doing it deliberately just to exercise the tiny scraping of power they actually have over us. They are doing evil laughs behind the curtains of Buck House and saying "let the commoners wait..."

Gird yourself soup Smile

Mind you, as a Blackadder fanatic, I felt that calling a kid Prince George was pretty cruel. Maybe that’s what they’ve been bickering about. Kate’s just been repeating “I don’t CARE about willy piercing” until she won?

mynameismrbloom · 26/04/2018 18:45

Battleax Obviously, but www.royal.uk/prince-harry goes to his page.

radi8tor · 26/04/2018 18:45

I reckon the DM have actually got this one spot on.

Albert Michael Phillip I reckon.

I can't believe they've actually named their child Prince Albert 🙈

mynameismrbloom · 26/04/2018 18:46

They are saying "Not found" means not a page and "Access denied" is a page.

William is "Not found", Harry goes to his page...

ikeepaforkinmypurse · 26/04/2018 18:47

No they don’t. They have as much privacy as the press and paparazzi are prepared to give them.

Aren't you aware of the size of their private propertieS? They do have all the privacy they wish. They are like Hollywood actors, some complain about the paps but are always on the front page, others have a private life and don't keep the paps on speed dial.

You only see photos of them when they are happy to be photographed, even if it's Kate semi-naked.

ikeepaforkinmypurse · 26/04/2018 18:48

To be fair, Albert of Monaco is not really mocked for his name (for other things maybe...)

Battleax · 26/04/2018 18:48

Prince Harry is known as Prince Harry, bloom

I wasn’t interested much but this is a fun game.

Nothings bringing up “access denied” apart from Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Albert.

Sorry.

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 26/04/2018 18:48

But Prince Harry is Harry's title. Hence he has a webpage with that name. William is known as the Duke of Cambridge (not prince William) so his page has that name

Surely not Albert - that is cruel. I now wonder if the delay is second thoughts

Battleax · 26/04/2018 18:48

Exactly.

LarkDescending · 26/04/2018 18:51

Maybe the Prince Albert thing is because there is actually content on the 19thC Prince Albert?

www.royal.uk/search/prince-albert

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 26/04/2018 18:51

I actually agree that the DOM have got this so the announcement is a bit of a damp squib

It should have been announced today - Harry's best man news did not need to take precedence

willynillypie · 26/04/2018 18:53

I had no idea what a Prince Albert was until reading this thread - thanks for the education MN Grin

dayinlifeof · 26/04/2018 18:53

The Duke of Cambridge page works as well, it tells me all about his two children - is there something that he knows that we don't? Grin

Sunafterstorm · 26/04/2018 18:54

I think the Queen has a thing for Alexander Armstrong and wants to name the Prince after him, and Wills and Kate are digging their heels in. Grin

SarahSiddons · 26/04/2018 18:54

I’m mildly curious but I think those of you who genuinely feel hard done by because you don’t know the name yet need to get a grip. It took us 4 days to decide the name of your eldest. We weren’t fucking with people, we just couldn’t decide.

Battleax · 26/04/2018 18:54

Yes I wondered that, but I couldn’t find any other historic Prince names giving “access denied”.

Although www.royal.uk/princess-mary does

Battleax · 26/04/2018 18:55

Sorry that was to Lark.

I wonder if both Mary and Albert pages have been reserved for a while?

dayinlifeof · 26/04/2018 18:56

George and Charlotte have working pages at
www.royal.uk/prince-george-0
www.royal.uk/princess-charlotte-0

SevenStones · 26/04/2018 18:57

They are doing the ultimate drip feed with their news! Grin

I now like Albert Philip Michael.

But retain a soft spot for Edmund.

And Leopold.

Battleax · 26/04/2018 18:59

Back to the drawing board then Smile

I reckon W & K have a network of runners visiting bookies and it won’t be announced until they’ve got all their bets on.

radi8tor · 26/04/2018 19:00

If you go to https://www.royal.uk/prince-Albert it doesn't work but if you go to https://www.royal.uk/prince-Albert-0 it does. Same with George and Charlotte so it could be a false alarm!

Anasnake · 26/04/2018 19:03

Alexander is my guess

Bowlofbabelfish · 26/04/2018 19:05

I’m due a boy in a month or two and I shall be most vexed if they choose the same name as us 😁

fcekinghell · 26/04/2018 19:06

arrrrrgh fuck off kensington palace twitter folk. Every time there's a new tweet its stuff like 'prince harry/william/whoever attended etc' and I want to know the nameeeeee. I have placed bets on John or David!

And William is his best man....DUH....tell.us.the.name

MollyHuaCha · 26/04/2018 19:09

Leopold is growing on me. Good luck to the pp who has backed this name at the bookies!
