According to Svenskdam, the witness confirmation will take place at 10am this morning. That probably won't be broadcast though, will it?

SVT doesn't work for me because I am out of Sweden.

 

[Prinsessan]

Too bad, at 11:15 I won't be able to follow the news I guess I'll have to wait until the afternoon...

No, the witness confirmation (when some witnesses confirm the birth -tradition-) is going to be at 10. The name will be announced at 11

No earlier than 6 hours? No wonder...

In Sweden about 75% of all new mothers leave the hospital within 6-48 hours after a normal delivery. The parents have the telephone number to the maternity ward and can call or come in if they have any questions or are worried, and the new parents usually get a visit at home by a nurse from the Child Care Central (BVC) during the first week or so.

They're talking about the weather on TV4. Hope they cut to the palace when it all starts!

 

[Catharina]

Apparently a lot of people have arrived at Haga palace. I just saw a picture of överhovmästarinnan (someone tell me how to translate that in English correctly) Alice Trolle Wachtmeister arriving in a car and the doctor in charge of the delivery was sitting on the front seat.

Oh no, I just realized I won't be able to watch the name announcement as I have to go pick up hubby from the airport... I'll try to check my cell phone every once in a while to find out the name!

 

[ghost_night554]

I guess I'll sign off soon and wake myself up in half an hour to see the names...

Chief of Court/administrative Chief of Court. - From (Über) Hofmeister.
Usually just below Marshall of the Court, don't know if that's the case in Sweden.

Kungahuset just revealed the names: Ulrika Marianne Annika David, Duchess of Uppsland Vasby.

They removed it from their website. We will see if it's true.

[Naggi]

is this true? that would have been an unfortunate mistake...would feel sorry for the webmaster...

 

[Esmerelda]

Did they leak it by mistake?

 

[LadyFinn]

David for a girl ??? Maybe the webmaster was just trying something.

 

[Esmerelda]

And why David??

Hopefully they haven't been hacked.

 

[Naggi]

I think there is an overrun on the royal website at the moment...I tried it several times without any success )))

 

[Esmerelda]

TV4 is talking about Kofi Annan and Syria. Is there anything happening?

 

[Naggi]

Yes, it could be a hacking attack..a joke from some IT freaks.
