Many congratulations to Edward and Sophie on the arrival of their son. So happy that he arrived safely.

Since the Queen and Sophie appear to be close.....maybe she'll visit? I'm hoping so.
the Queen made an exception when Lady Louise was born and secretly visited Sophie in hospital. I think this was more due to the the fact both mother and baby almost died in that case.

I think the Queen has visited three of her grandchildren after they were born, Peter, William, and Louise. I don't think she will this time, unless it is another secret visit.

Ok now, so what is Lord Severn's astrological sign? According to Wikipedia, 17 December falls under Sagittarius.
