This is such wonderful news. Congratulations to the family!!!

I can't wait to see the first pictures of the little baby boy and to know his name.

Maybe then we'll have a chance to see Lady Louise again.

Great news about the count and countess of wessex. It is a great christmas present. I saw his title will be Viscount Savern or something like that. Congratulations to them.

I love Prince Edward's answer on the video clip when asked how Lady Louise reacted to her little brother..He said I am about to find out..

Congratulations to Edward & Sophie on the birth of their son

It will be a very Merry Christmas indeed for them & Lady Louise!

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.

^ Yes, I know exactly how you feel because I was expecting there to be some arrivals today as well. Edward's staff probably made a deal with the press: No more pictures after yesterday's press conference and then if the press play fair, they get their press conference 2/pics of the family leaving in a couple of days.

Hey, here is an article that wasn't posted already. It has a nice of Edward from yesterday.

OMG my predicition for Monday or Tuesday of this week was right

It is very normal for mummy to spend a few more days in hospital after a c-section. Classed as a major op so no lifting driving etc for 6 weeks.

Congratulations to them all.

Congratulation to Sophie and Edward, I was a little bit worried of the issue of the pregnancy given the fact that it was so difficult for her. I'm really happy, I hope they will spend a very Happy

Christmas together. CONGRATULATION again, I'm also happy that Lady Louise has a little brother

Forgive my ignorance, who is Christopher?

[Lady Marmalade]

Sophie's father...is Christopher. :-)

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.
