Just heard on the news that BP has reserved page names hrh Prince James, Alexander

Not sure I'm reading too much into that. It could be a preemptive move to reserve the spot for future babies. Also one of those diversionary tactics which some of the more rebellious royals love to deploy.

No thoughts on the Japanese abdication?

QueenOfTheAndals · 30/04/2019 10:03

@queenofarles Fred is apparently 6' so not tiny unless you compare him to Felipe who is about 6'5 or 6'6!

I forgot about the abdication @banivani but found this on the BBC www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-48020703 It'll be interesting to see if Masako is less or more constrained in her new role. She's such an intelligent woman so the Japanese court must feel so stifling.

Is it today in Japan? Wonder if we'll get tiaras and stepfordian court outfits?
There was a blind about Masako and her struggles and how Max was helping her.

queenofarles · 30/04/2019 10:32

Thanks Queen ,
Wow! I didn’t think he was that tall!, I’m solely basing my views on pictures of him wearing cycling shorts, he looked tiny! Grin . DH , who is very tall, resembles a giant in shorts . His legs look extra long,

Stravapalava · 30/04/2019 10:36

Oooh I like Mathilde's dress. I know some will think it's frumpy though!

I hope we get some nice frocks from the Japanese abdication. I think it's ever so sensible abdicating (take note HMQ!!) Grin

SlipperOrchid · 30/04/2019 10:39

Ah thanks Grumble, that makes sense!

AudacityOfHope · 30/04/2019 10:57

Leti looks like she's wearing a flak jacket!

QueenOfTheAndals · 30/04/2019 11:13

I assumed she actually was!

James, Alexander etc are really nice names but PLEASE let it be something a little more interesting!

LadyCassandra · 30/04/2019 11:18

Lady Gabriella’s wedding is at 12 noon. Invitation just says “followed by a reception at Frogmore...” nothing about an evening party, but then the Upper Classes don’t really have two tiered weddings do they?
I know that the mother of the groom said she hasn’t had much to do with the organising.
Can’t really see them altering the time for a baby though!

SlipperOrchid · 30/04/2019 11:34

I think I’m the only one that really doesn’t like Leti’s pale blue dress. I don’t think it does anything for her. So frumpy looking. I much preferred the navy short sleeved dress she wore getting off the plane.

QueenOfTheAndals · 30/04/2019 11:35

the mother of the groom said she hasn’t had much to do with the organising.

I'm not sure the bride will have much to do with it either!

MotherofPearl · 30/04/2019 11:59

I agree Slipper. The pale blue was a bit frumpy - but then I'm not very keen on pastel colours generally.

pinkladyapples · 30/04/2019 12:02

Mette-Marit looks well and has been out a bit more lately, I hope she is

JessMariano · 30/04/2019 12:03

One of the Clooney twins is Alexander and they are supposedly best buds so I doubt they will go with that.

FFSeverynameisused · 30/04/2019 12:05

I hope its a girl

but getting really fed up waiting on the baby / labour announcement. I love babies and I want to know the name cause I placed a bet

I guess the rumours are true about her wanting a home birth and she's overdue. How long do they let you go overdue max? I remember it was 10 days when DD was born nearly 12 years ago.

SunshineCake · 30/04/2019 12:22

What I've read they are implying the baby will be named after his paternal great grandfather due James, Alexander etc being accessible when Phillip is not found…

SunshineCake · 30/04/2019 12:26

Thank you @AhoyDelBoy. for posting the link. I loved the photo of William holding a screaming baby with a grin on his face which showed his feelingsGrin.

megletthesecond · 30/04/2019 13:08

I do hope they don't choose a dull name. They have to choose something more interesting. I'd like to see a Rosa or Theodore.

Rhubarbisevil · 30/04/2019 13:24

Thank god for the. Ew heed - the k you queen!

I think the afternoon receiption it to keep the costs down. Nothing to do with Meghan!! She gets the blame for everything, poor girl.

My shoes hurt - bloody Meghan
It’s raining - Meghan did it
The traffic lights are on red - Megan is fiddling with the grid.

FFSeverynameisused · 30/04/2019 13:25

theodore or theodora is definitely an option due to Doria and also the links to teddy roosevelt.
