Wouldn't it be a feather in the Duke's cap if they named him Philip? I think that would be such a wonderful gift to a man who seems to really be close to Edward from everything I have read.

Given Sophie's problems with her previous pregnancies, it is good that she has had one that ended with little complications (judging by the reports). Very interesting to have a little Viscount Severn, though I don't know how much we'll see of him, judging by the past experience with Lady Louise.

The official word from the Palace is that the Countess is in "tremendous form". Maybe she only is staying in the hospital for a few days because the doctors wish to monitor her condition. Given her medical history, it seems logical they want to watch her to make sure she stays stable. Do you think that is the only reason? I hope so.

I am so happy for the whole family. I still wish that he had his HRH title, but I won't go on about that! Now we wait for the name.

^ Don't worry! He does have his HRH title. Only a new Letters Patent could take the HRH away from him. He's just a prince wearing a disguise as a viscount. A prince undercover I guess. Prince Edward wanted a more normal style but had to be HRH Prince, so now he is giving the gift of a private life to his children. Because he can.

Although of course we at TRF know the truth...........

What fantastic news! Congratulations to Edward, Sophie and Louise, as well as both Edward and Sophie's families!

When can we expect a name?

This will be a nice gesture.I think it's a bit strange that niether of the queen and prince Philip grandsons had been named after them.

Congratulations to the entire family. It will be nice for Lady Louise to have someone to grow up with other other then just her parents.
The Queens has grandchildren at all different ages, I hope in her older age she gets to spend more time just being "granny".
I also hope that they name him after Prince Philip, does anyone know why none of the grandsons carry that name?

It's one of William's names.

Congratulations to the Wessex family. I'm glad that Edward was able to be present this time around and that the event was so much calmer.

It may be that the name Philip is being saved for William's child.
