How could the Queen Mother and Queen Maud been able to use IVF when the first Test Tube Baby was born in 1978?

With regard to the Queen Mother at least, I've read that it was artificial insemination, not IVF.

Except Mary, Alexandra and Elizabeth are all common royal names.

IVF & artificial insemination talk has no place here.

Yes he's the only son of Sir Angus Ogilvy and Princess Alexandra of Kent.

There are at least three family members named James, Viscount Severn, James Ogilvy and James Middleton. I think it's almost safe to count that out as a first name at least.

Thanks, what I meant was there were no current high level royals in the British Royal family using the name of Mary.

I have thought about this day and night upon hearing the joyous news of the birth, and I am convinced it will be twins:

If the Her Royal Highness issues forth two girls, they shall be called Diana and Camilla. Camilla will inherit, regardless of birth order.

Should Her Royal Highness should birth both a son and a daughter, they will be christened David and Wallis. Wallis will force her way out first. The grave of the Queen Mother will show signs of movement.

In the unlikely event twin sons are born to the Duke and Duchess, they will be called Juan and Two. I am uncertain as to which one will be born first.

I think it would be nice if the Cambridges stayed traditional but yet be a little creative with the baby naming.

Like Alexis for a girl and Christian for a boy. Or Alexander for a boy and Christina for a girl. Or Klarisse for a girl and Tristan for a boy. Then they could apply family names afterwards.

I think the family have seen enough Henry's, James's, Philips and Charles's as first names.

Hahahaha! Great post!

I'd love a Prince George or a Princess Carolina!

Oh, no indeed, Madame. I am virtually certain it will be twins.

Twins would be very exciting no doubt. I can only imagine the celebrations and TV coverage there will be across the UK and Commonwealth and of course here in America on the day of the birth.

HG is certainly more common with twins. We'll see soon enough!

I think they would have announced if it was twins. I doubt in 6/7 months they will walk out of hospital with twins and say surprise!

Now that's what I call sticking your neck out Ms. Giraffe.

I absolutely love your sense of humor!!
