Great news;I'm glad that all went well! Now,we must wait for the name!
I really thought we would see Edward, Christopher and Louise going to the hospital with flowers today. Looks like noone was there to take the pics.
Sophie's father...is Christopher.
When did Sophie's mother die?
I don't think the Queen usually goes to the hospital following grandchildren's births does she? I am wondering if she might make an exception here not only because the little fellow is kind of extra special after all Sophie and Edward have been through, but also Sophie's mother has died since Louise was born. Since the Queen and Sophie appear to be close.....maybe she'll visit? I'm hoping so.
Yeah hopefully we will see great-grandchildren in a few years.After all, he will be her last grandchild ever

^ Re: great-grandchildren, my bet is on this order:
Peter
Zara
William
Eugenie
Beatrice
Harry
Maybe in order to get back home for X-mas ?Hello Magazine said Sophie was going to have her repeat c-section on Friday Dec 21st. Has anybody heard why she went earlier?
They all say that Sophie is a great favourite to the Queen, that's the time for it to be proven !
After all, he will be her last grandchild ever
