I think it will be born tomorrow, it will be a girl and they’ll call her Rosa Elizabeth.

What’s everyone else (who’s interested) thinking?

If anyone has seen an official release saying that the public would be notified once she's in labour I would be happy to stand corrected! Smile

I thought that was a police escort spotted in Chiswick but nobody knew who was actually in it?

I thought the royal family didn’t name babies after living family members? Or did I make that up....

I think it’s already born and will be named something a bit ‘out there’. I think Rosa for a girl

Why Rosa, is there some connection I've missed?

Love Theodore but Spencer and Vogue's baby is Theodore (ie Pippa's brother in law's baby). Is that too close?

Rebecca no idea, some pp have said Rosa is a possibility.

if I change my name to that of a royal, it's going to be annoying as people will think I chose it for that reason.

Meghan, if you are reading, Grin please don't call her Rosa!

The police escort was in Chiswick; miles away.

Sweetest sugar- I saw a ‘royal commentator’ say it on GMB last week, I could probably find a clip of it. I can’t remember the mans name, he was balding, probably in his early 60s, rosy cheeks...

This is what the gentleman said (the royal commentator I was referring too)
“The palace are expected to issue a short written announcement confirming the Duchess is in labour, with a second to follow upon the safe arrival of the baby, giving details of its sex, weight and time of birth.”
Quoted from the telegraph. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think there will be a fairly prompt announcement - because they'll want to tell family and friends and only the very inner circle can be relied on to be leak-proof.

Name might take a few days though (often does)

If she delivers in a hospital, then they might need to do exit photos (because someone will work out where they are, the crowds will gather and the show must go on......

It really can't be much fun to face the world's press when newly delivered.

I think she will shock everyone!

The world is expecting her to go against the grain and pick an unusual name..so I think she will shock everybody by picking a traditional name
