Eugenie’s baby (no.3)

[EmpressSisi]

Eugenie gave birth to a daughter on Monday. She was born in Lisbon, Portugal.

The baby’s name has not been revealed yet.

If anyone cares.

I am now wondering if the angel wings on the suit and Edo's comment including an angel emoji are clues to the name?! If so my guess is Evangeline.

I hope not!

Sounds like a name you'd associate with the lady running the church fair somewhere in the American Deep South!

No-one is obliged to use it.

Seraphina also has an angel meaning.

Angelina/Angelica?

I expect this has already been answered but they are owned by the Crown Estate.

The royals derive an ever-spiralling income from the profits while doing their best to avoid boosting them from their own pockets.

Queen mum’s middle name was Angela??

Bit dated but so is Ernest 🤷🏼‍♀️

Will King Charles still have to give his approval of the name like they had to do with QE11 ?
Or is Eugenie so far down the line now it doesn't matter ?

Albert.

Ur- royal grifter.

a lot of Angela's will be tickled pink

Do tax payers fund the Crown Estates?

@Needmorelego
Profits from the Crown Estate go to the Treasury and are used in public spending. The less profits made, the less government spending.

What profits come from a residential property though?
(I am genuinely clueless about this)

errr rent? It would be thousands a week for an apartment at St James's place!

So tax payers aren't paying for the properties - just not making any money off them.

They live half the year in Portugal, because her DH has a job flogging posh villas in a development on the coast south of Lisbon. Harry and Meghan have bought one.

@Needmorelego
The rent from properties over and above maintenance costs is the profit.
The profit goes to the Treasury which pays for public services. Otherwise tax payers fund those public services. So yes tax payers are paying for their properties.

Ok but "not paying rent" doesn't mean they don't pay for any maintenance and the bills themselves.
Also they are tax payers themselves.
I actually have no clue.
To be honest.... I don't really care.
I just think it's a cute baby 👶

Er, our taxes don't support Eugenie. The only royals who receive anything from our taxes are the few that do work that represents the state and only for that work. It's not as though, for example, the King gets a salary from our taxes.

We have had eleven Queen Elizabeths already?

Alberta!
I’m glad they announced it on Meghana birthday considering the baby announcement at Eugenies wedding

I think she’s too far out of the inner circle to get name approval.
But you’ve reminded me that back in the day in was heavily talked about that Andrew and Sarah wanted to use the name Victoria but the Queen wouldn’t approve, and it was nearly 2 weeks before they agreed on the name Beatrice. Apparently their first choice was Annabel, second choice Victoria, third choice Beatrice!

@ContractorQuestion thanks .yes I do remember how long it took for their name as the Anabel story .
That is what got me thinking.

Yolanda, after the cleaner.

I think the 2nd & 3rd names will be Celia & Elizabeth ~ Celia is from Jack's side of the family

I wonder if Eugenie will do what Beatrice has done and name her daughter after a city ~ if so, Florence is the one I would put my money on
