New York paparazzi take the photos and then sell them to UK media outlets because most people in the US don't even know who she is.

What I mean is they didn't use first names like Charles, Philip, Henry or Michael.

I agree that they probably avoided some family names so they don't leave anyone out. Also IMO Albert is much worse than George. George Alexander Louis is a good name for a prince and future monarch.

I was a little surprised there are only three names but I suspected they would name him George. It just seems so old fashioned, I have a hard time picturing it on a child.

Most of these names are just so old fashioned. I do like Alexander though. Maybe Alexander Charles Philip Michael.

I always forget about Kate's brother, James. I don't think they'll name the baby James even though it's my personal favorite of the likely possibilities.

Isabella is right, Viscount Severn and the new baby are first cousins, once removed. Second cousins are those who share great-grandparents (like William and Arthur Chatto). I don't think it would be a big deal if they named the baby James. Lots of families have more than one member with the...

If it's a girl I'm hoping for Alexandra, Charlotte or Alice. I don't think they'd use Carole for a middle name but maybe Caroline. I'm not really a fan of the likely boy names. How long do we think we'll have to wait before we find out the name?

Yes, a good reason to choose it.

No, I said I thought they would choose something less traditional than William and Kate. I could see them choosing the name Alice, though. Just maybe not Anne or George.

I think Zara and Mike will choose something a little less "royal" and traditional than William and Kate, but not too out there. Maybe something similar to Isla and Savannah.

I knew they weren't supposed to accept gifts, but I guess I don't see what the problem is if they don't keep them. People love to complain about the cost of Kate's designer clothing. Though I suppose it doesn't really matter since Charles pays for it, and they're putting money into the economy.

Does Kate or any other British royal ever borrow clothes from designers for public events, or are they always bought? It seems like it would make sense to borrow them--it would save money while still bringing publicity to the brands. Especially since most of the clothes are by British designers.

Didn't someone here say that it was rumored that Diana wanted Eleanor if she and Charles had a girl? I think that would be a really good name. Ella or Ellie for short when she's young. I also love Alice. Though I think it's more likely to be Victoria, Alexandra, or Charlotte if it's a girl.

It just seems like one of the young royals might want to get their own place, have a little more independence. But I suppose it could be a hassle. There was a rumor years ago about William getting a flat in Dolphin Square in Pimlico, but I guess that never actually happened.

Is there a reason why Harry (or Beatrice or Eugenie, for that matter) couldn't have his own house/flat in London, apart from the royal residences? It seemed to work well enough when William and his cousins were at university.

For a girl I like Alexandra, Charlotte, Alice, Victoria (but not the nicknames), Rose, Isabel, Eleanor and Josephine. I hope they don't pick Elizabeth or Diana for a first name. For a boy I like James and maybe David and Alexander. To be honest, I really don't like most of the "royal" boy names.

She only chose her patronages three weeks ago. Events with those charities and scheduling takes some time to organize.

How do we even know that Beatrice and Eugenie want to be full-time working royals? Have they ever actually said that this is what they want? Also, I don't think we will see Charles excluding his siblings or their families from Christmas, Trooping the Colour, etc. Slimming down the number of...

I've always wondered what Charles and Diana would have named their daughter if they had had one.

Maybe "allowed" is the wrong word. I guess if anything it could be frowned upon.

I wasn't sure where to put this, but I was just wondering if Beatrice or Eugenie (or any other BRF member) would be allowed to marry someone in politics. Even someone who isn't a politician, like an aide or a speechwriter. I was curious because aren't they supposed to be politically neutral?
