Queen Doria got a tweet on the official Royal Twitter!

If you look on Google maps, there's what looks like a stable blocks right by Frogmore House (and cottage, I presume). Makes sense, it's enclosed so away from a huge barrage of press but v close so he can be back quickly. Lovely looking horses too!

A boy, not what we all thought. Congratulations

TopBitchoftheWitches · 06/05/2019 15:01

Oh that's a very good point about Hewitt.
Oh well, maybe one day !

Harry's video was just lovely.
Can't wait to see the baby.

Theodore Philip Spencer has a lovely ring to it.

I’d love a bit of a modern twist, but have a feeling they will go purely traditional.

YahBasic · 06/05/2019 15:03

I also love the fact that he included his maternal aunts and uncle on the announcement, really lovely touch.

yellowalstroemeria · 06/05/2019 15:03

I don't like Spencer (blame Made in Chelsea) but love Theodore, Philip and Alexander.

I want James if I ever have a baby so hoping it doesn't get popular again!

Gooseysgirl · 06/05/2019 15:04

The video is so sweet 🥰

So - what were those three Prince names 'reserved' on the royal website again? James, Arthur and...??

Very interesting!!

yellowalstroemeria · 06/05/2019 15:05

The top 6 on Paddy Power are Alexander, James, Arthur, Oliver, Edward
and Jacob.

Haggismcbaggis · 06/05/2019 15:06

Yes. Odd that they gave a labour announcement when it was all done & dusted. Why not just go straight to birth announcement (unless it's just to allow the media a bit of time to hustle to right positions)

frugalkitty · 06/05/2019 15:07

A boy!! Well I got that wrong. Small too, just goes to show you can't tell how big a baby is by the size of a bump!! Hope she's doing ok, oh I can't wait for a photo! How exciting!!

allworthwhile · 06/05/2019 15:08

@SunshineCake No evidence at all to say she had it in hospital Hmm although I presume the birth certificate will tell us where soon enough.

NoTheresa · 06/05/2019 15:09

Awwwww. How special was that video! I was smiling at my phone like a proper twit!

SunshineCake · 06/05/2019 15:11

No need for Hmm I merely posted what I'd read. I am happy to be proved wrong if it meant they got their home birth.

It was probably this

I think that her friend who instagrammed pink photos of the baby shower with the hashtag "Girl" leaves an odd taste in the mouth - far classier to say nothing than to try to deceive the public on purpose? Hmm

RomaineCalm · 06/05/2019 15:11

If you look at the stables behind PH in the interview I think there's a clever clue to the chosen name - Prince John 😊

allworthwhile · 06/05/2019 15:12

But you didn't read "Meghan has been taken to hospital" anywhere @SunshineCake as nothing had been said about location...

Paradyning · 06/05/2019 15:13

Did he thank the horses at Tyne end?

Paradyning · 06/05/2019 15:14

*the end?

frugalkitty · 06/05/2019 15:14

The announcement says that Doria is with H&M at Frogmore Cottage so maybe she had her home birth after all.

allworthwhile · 06/05/2019 15:17

I do think the girl hashtag is weird.. it is!

Anyway, looking forward to some gorgeous photos soon.

yellowalstroemeria · 06/05/2019 15:18

I think Harry is getting really like Prince Philip. He looks over the moon Grin
