Born this morning.
Congratulations!
Yes, I know she isn’t royal, but the baby has royal cousins.

Love the name, Grace Elizabeth Jane. Grace & big brother Arthur sound great together!

Why is thei in the royal topic?
Cracklepops · 15/03/2021 14:50
Because the child is a cousin of the future king

And Pippa is the SIL of the future King and I wanted to wish her and the new baby well.

took me a while to work out who Pippa Matthews was...
wasn't her pregnancy announced literally a week or two ago?

Oh is that the name!? I'm naming my DD due next month Elizabeth Grace. Glad they have done it the other way around 
Congrats to them both.

I thought about writing Pippa Middleton but then people complain about the DoC being referred to as Kate Middleton and the DoS being referred to as Meghan Markle.

I didn’t know she was expecting. Lovely name best wishes to them.

Like the name! I would hazard a guess the baby was early - I think her first one was quite a lot heavier, and her bump looked so small.

@Diptyque
thats what threw me - but it is nice that you've used her proper name!

Did they all definitely change their names though?
Do you have to change your surname if you take a title?
MammabearX1 · 16/03/2021 16:19
That's a good point, I'm not sure

Interesting point.
David Manners is the Duke of Rutland. His signs himself as “Rutland”. His son is Charles Manners who is the Marquis of Granby. Not a pub. He is Granby.
William Wales is really William Mountbatten-Windsor but he will be Wales for a time until he signs himself as William R.
