I like that, as well.
Normally I prefer more traditional names, but Anne's family seems to avoid those.
The DM has published the current Line of Succession; could someone please explain to me why Lady Sarah Chatto comes before Viscount Linley's children?
I thought his children would follow him, then Sarah.
Or did the DM goof?

If you mean the picture, Viscount Linely is listed as 17th, his children 18th and 19th and Lady Sarah as 20th. You may have read it the wrong way round.

Follow the numbers. It is not left to right but left to right and then right to left. The numbering is correct with the Linley kids ahead of Sarah

Of course, with this group, it's as likely they will all play mounted guards assailing the castle to rescue the poor rugby team held ransom within!

Congrats to the parents.
I guess Anne is just meant to be a grandmother to three girls : )

I read the news while I was at a lecture so I wasn't able to write a post! Congratulations to Zara and Mike! I had a feeling that the baby would have come yesterday or today due to the full moon as I wrote at the predictions posts! :) I'm totally happily amazed that is a girl! Cute! :love:
I can't way for the name! I have no ideas! Maybe some unconventional one as Savannah or Isla!

Congrats to the couple. So happy for Mike and Zara, both sets of grandparents, and The queen and Prince Philip, and Tim who seems to be a doting stepgrandfather to Peter's girls already and I am sure he will be to this little girl as well.
I was right on two of the three, thought it would be a threesome of pink for the Windsors (though the only one I really hoped to be a girl due to succession changes was the only boy). Maude and little Miss Tindall, George will definitely be surrounded by pink at family events, not to mention Isla and Savannah.
Love Philippa, but reminds me of Pippa.

Over 3 hours. Sandringham is on the eastern coast and further north, Gatcombe is closer to the west close and nearer to Cardiff and Bristol I believe.

It's about 2 hours from Buckingham Palace.

Congratulations to Zara and Mike! Another little granddaughter and great-granddaughter for Princess Anne and HM - I'll bet George will feel outnumbered as he grows up! (Unless one of HM's grandchildren has a boy, of course.)
Once again I guessed incorrectly on the little one's gender. I thought Prince George would be a girl and Baby Tindall a boy.  I wonder when the name will be announced, I'm guessing within the next day or so.

For me it was the constant need to pee while riding I found most irritating. Congratulations to the new family! I'm voting for Michaela Phillipa (both sides of the family on Phillip/a).
