June, July and August are "summer" here, even if some meteorologists insist that summer doesn't start until June 21st :-) . Schools don't break up until mid-July, though! Meghan seemed quite well on when they made the announcement, so I'd think June. But we'll see!

Its hard to say, isn't it, but I imagine it will be June or July....

Yep. Memorial Day is the "unofficial first day of summer" in the US. It is always the last Monday in May.

It would be cute if the baby were born in the same day as Archie

He was born on May 6, so that seems impossible now

Denville · #**146** 06-04-2021, 10:49 AM

Im sure they'd prefer their own birthday.....each. ANyway wasn't he born in May?

Little one may be born the same day as her grandmother Diana.

ACO · #**148** 06-04-2021, 11:24 AM

Archie's birthday has come and gone. Prince Philip is June 10 and Prince William is June 21. Hopefully she avoids those days and has her own. Lol.

Does anybody think that the couple may hold back the announcement for a couple of days to give themselves some family time, that had been inferred before Archies birth but as it turned out it was announced the same day,

Theres no need for them to announce the birth. They are now private citizens. They have no official duties and can take all the family time they want.

MaryVirginia · #**151** 06-05-2021, 07:04 AM

Yes, I do not expect them to offer an announcement until well after the birth as is their prerogative now:)

Tirilschatz · #**152** 06-05-2021, 07:53 AM

But there was no need to announce a pregnancy and yet they did. So I expect them to announce the birth, too. But, as already said, maybe not immediately after the girl has been born.

Alison H · #**153** 06-05-2021, 09:31 AM

I think Zara and Mike waited a couple of days, didn't they? I'm sure they'll announce the birth, as everyone knows that it's imminent, but they may also wait a couple of days.

Mike told on Wednesday on his (weekly?) podcast (he also used the podcast to announce that Zara was pregnant) that the weekend had been rather special with the birth of his son on Sunday. ("... and then Sunday got even better because a little baby boy arrived at my house!")

(Edited after looking it up)

I think they will wait a bit after the birth. But I'm sure they will let the public know. They often speak of Archie in interviews and such, so it is very likely that they will talk about their baby girl too. Yes, they are private citizens now, at least on paper, because to me, they aren't (they appear on TV, interviews, and so on, so they are not that private). We will know eventually.

Denville · #**156** 06-05-2021, 10:18 AM

Considering the dramatic arrival of the baby, I imagine Mike was busy with running around with towels, and wasn't likely to announce the birth for a few days.

**Somebody** · #**157** 06-05-2021, 11:05 AM

They might be private citizens but baby girl M-W will still be in line to the throne. If no tragedies occur, she will start at place 8, move up to 7 (probably 6 - in which case she would need to ask permission to marry to remain in line to the throne) before starting to move down the line when her cousins have children.

ACO · #**158** 06-05-2021, 11:33 AM

I don't see why they wouldn't announce it. People tend to do that. Also we all know she is pregnant and is due around this time. Really no point in hiding.

I can see them taking a few days maybe but they will announce. Probably on their webpage.

Ah yes, I know

I meant the "same day" as in day 6, not month = June 6th

They are seeking publicity they will announce the birth in due time.
