I'm surprised, I thought the baby would be a girl!
But it doesn't really matter; I'm sure they are thrilled with their tiny earl!
Well, this narrows down the name choices!
Yes I noticed that too. Probably a week as we guessedSo it appears to me that Harry confirmed in his interview that the baby was overdue.
... I'd feel pretty bad had it been a girl since I was so certain it'd be a boy in the last few months.
Feel bad if it was a girl? Why on earth why? I thought it would be a girl, simply because I know how much Meghan is a feminist and would make a great mother to a little girl, as her mother was to her. However, that said, I am certainly happy for them having a boy. The main thing is having a healthy child, and that has happened.
And it also appears as if Meghan was able to give birth at home. That's great!
Harry was so happy in giving the announcement himself. He was rubbing his hands together so excitedly. It's lovely for Harry, Meghan and Doria. I'm happy for them, and I wish them well.
'Just a reminder to everyone --- even the Queen delivered all 4 of her children at home. It's not that unusual. Frankly, Meghan is in excellent condition and does yoga every day … she was probably in better shape than most expectant mothers.
Exactly, the posing outside the hospital is in royal terms fairly new. All royal babies were born in the palace, as opposed to a hospital.
So yes they have done things different to the Cambridges but not really new, in fact more traditional. Although I would agree that Harry coming out to announce the birth of his son was a modern touch.
Yes, but in the two generations following the Queen’s , hospital deliveries appear to have become the norm, not only in Britain , but in continental royal births too. So it is understandable if some people are surprised Meghan chose to have a home birth, if that was the case. Since they are not disclosing the place of birth ( perhaps not to tip the press about locations of future births ?) , there is no way to know for sure.
Not sure how it is in the States - but in Germany and Switzerland there has been a trend of home birthing or at least having the birth at a birth house (for lack of better translating) instead of a hospital. So I'm not surprized at all that, that they at least thought about it.
If the media went mad about the Ambulance in the car park you had better believe they had every access road well covered.
I saw that Andrew posted a Congratulations on his Instagram account. Have any of the other senior royals posted?
Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex!!
Congratulations to the new Earl of Dumbarton!
I personally think that the child should be a Prince. He is the grandson of the future King, the son of the future Duke of York.
