Royal style & gossip: the baby's here, now back to the frocks!

Any guesses on what Meghan will wear to introduce baby Sussex? I'm guessing Givenchy as it's her go-to designer for big events.

Then again she could surprise us all and come out in a JoJo Maman Bébé breastfeeding tunic!

I think it names where because aren't there people with birth certificates saying 'transport cafe on the North Circular' ?

Curly you do make me chuckle Harry was great. I suspect it was a natural home birth, given his speech was at Frogmore and he said he was in awe of women giving birth.

If the birth had been at hospital then couldn't Harry have been in awe of Meghan?

The speech being at Frogmore merely means that at about 2:30pm this afternoon, Harry was at Frogmore! It could have been quite possible for the birth to be at hospital, or at home...

Happy to oblige !

@haggismcbaggis I had two home births and they mention the town rather than address

So presume baby boy Sussex will use the title Earl (of?) Dumbarton. So first name should go with that?

The 1. box on a full birth certificate is "date and place of birth" (above that box is the "registration district", "sub-district" and "administration area") so it definitely means the location e.g. Frogmore, Lindo etc will be listed.

I think she'll wear a floaty kaftan and wedges. I think they will definitely do a quick photoshoot but 2 days is a reasonable break for meghan to normalise, although I would have struggled with my c section to look all polished within 2 weeks let alone 2 days.

Those stables are in the castle grounds not directly next to Frogmore but does imply she’s either transferred home already or did have a home birth.

Yes it does say place, mine were all home births so it has our address.

Glad mother and baby are doing well Harry looks to be in that deliriously tired l/happy newborn state which is lovely to see. I thought the announcement was nice I have always thought with no proof that Harry was closer to to the spencer side so it was a nice touch mentioning them. I guess with the Cambridge kids it's all about more formal?

Re outfit I was thinking it would be a pre taken photo released (so all soft fluffy and in black and white) but from what Harry said it sounded like a proper photo call so that will be interesting! Maybe erderm?

My first was dragged out of me in a theatre with giant metal spoons but my husband still thought I was pretty awesome

I bloody hope she wears flats.

Ah lovely news. Thanks for hastily scrambled new thread Queen.

Having been utterly convinced it was a girl and hoping for a Marina, I'm warming to the idea of Theodore. As long as he's not Arthur (apologies to any Arthur parents ).

I wonder how formal the photos will be?

The three youngest royals (Windsor & Spencer) are all Taurus like HM 😂
Princess Charlotte - 2 May, 2015
Prince Louis - 23 April, 2018
Baby Sussex - 6th May, 2019

I think the middle names will be Phillip Spencer.

James or Henry for first. I think they’ll go traditional despite the media being convinced she’ll call the child Diesel or something.

Louis' middle name is Arthur @StCharlotte although one of George's middle names is Louis!

Now if they really want to get people talking, they should get Kate to take the photos!

Now that would be an excellent idea Queen

That's pretty much what I said on the old thread, it'd make sense really. Mind you Harry could take at least some of them.

Harry is a better photographer than Kate.

I do hope not Henry. I thought most mumsnetters agree that naming after the father is a bit grim.

I'm sure I read that there's going to be a press thing with one photographer, one journo, and one tv camera. I can't remember where I read that though. My money would be on Chris Jackson as the photog, he seems to do a lot of Royal stuff?

They both have very good cameras so either could do it.

Aww that video was sweet

Sounded like a full press call from what Harry said, rather than releasing a posed picture.
