Royal style & gossip: advance Baby Sussex!

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Previous thread

Surely this is the thread where Meghan has her baby??

If she was twelve weeks at Eugenie’s wedding, she won’t be forty weeks until the beginning of May?

Hopefully & thank you Queen

The pregnancy seems to have been going on as long as Brexit.

If Doria has only come over in the last day or two I think she isn't at her due date yet - I'm sure she would plan to be here a few days before the due rather than waiting until she was due/over due.

Kate wasn't photographed in labour with George.

There were 2 photographers stationed at the back door of the hospital and they agreed between themselves they wouldn't take any pics of a woman in labour as they had wives themselves and knew what it was like. So no pics exist of her arriving in labour as when she arrived they did nothing.

So what does everyone think? Are we going to have a little Lord Dumbarton or little Lady Mountbatten-Windsor?

Girl 👶

I think the baby is a girl.

I can’t see anything of George in Louis apart from the hair.
Lower part of his face is like Charlotte, but she has completely different blue eyes.
Also pictured is a young James Middleton. I think Louis looks most like him.

Everyone seems to think girl. I must admit I can't think of what boy name they'd choose, whereas for a girl they have a number of trad royal names as well as family names as options - Elizabeth, Victoria, Diana, Alexandra. Though I think Diana will be a middle name not the first name. For some reason, if they went more off piste, I have Hope in mind. Princess Hope or Lady Hope sounds nice but not too out there IMO.

Grumble I'd have thought that too. Though they will also have known that the media will go onto high alert as soon as Doria is known to be in the country, for the same reason.

I think the baby is a girl, from the shape of the big wide bump.
I think Meghan will choose an unusual name, in the Zara / Savannah mould.
Then Diana and Elizabeth in there.
It’s Charlotte’s birthday next week, on the 3rd.

Maybe Doria’s Arrived because Meghan will be induced this week if she doesn’t go into labour.

Lol at this pregnancy seems as long as Brexit.
Can she only have been 12 weeks at Eugenie’s wedding. If so agree with pp on last thread; the part buttoned coat was a poor show.

My money is Baby Sussex arriving this Thursday.

Checking in!

Assuming she’s already had the baby, otherwise it does seem a very long pregnancy! MM’s Eugenie wedding outfit would have been a good one to wear again, maybe she’ll have her mat wear tailored after she’s had the baby.

Can see Diana being in the name, maybe Jeanette after MM’s granny? Maybe Emmeline if they’re having a feminist :)

I think girl too & think Olga may be in there as that's one of the names of Prince Philip's grandmothers. (If they chose a family name).
Wondering if they will go for a Sophia or Theodora (also Philip family names).
Or maybe they'll do MN royalty & choose Xenia or Cod

MN royalty = prolific oldtime posters.

I mean long time!!!!

It’s definitely going to be a boy after all of us guessing it’ll be a girl :)

Any ideas about boy names, just to cover that base?

Boy's names - Philip will feature I imagine. Edward nn Teddy? Alexander?

I think it will be a girl though because I was MM's shape when I was pregnant and everyone told me it would be a girl and it was :). And for a girl I think it will be Grace Elizabeth Diana or else a name of a local flower in Africa that grew in the wild near where they fell in love or similar :).

Well I don't think they'll be calling her Sausage Tree.

Boy's names -Balonz

Louis photos are lovely - he has changed a lot since the last lot of published photos! Shame there isn't one of all three children together...

name of a local flower in Africa that grew in the wild near where they fell in love or similar

oh how cheesy!

Louis looks more like William,

Thanks for the shiny new baby thread queen. I wonder if the baby is already here and they're just hiding? Would that be possible, it would be pretty difficult to keep it a secret though I suppose.
