I am surprised that the couple decided to provide such detailed information about the baby. Will the baby in question become the heir of the heir?

E-A Jr. accompanied his mother Chantal to Princess Eugenie's wedding last week. So I guess the Windsors consider him the de facto head of the House of Hanover, and not E-A Sr. anymore.

Congratulations!
I thought she looked pregnant at Eugenie’s wedding, but didn’t want to speculate.

I fully expect them to name him Ernst August, to be honest. Any other name would be as weird as a Danish heir named Joachim  And Ernst August jr and Alessandra seem aware of the family's role and willing to play their part, so I don't think they will break the tradition.
BUT I would prefer them to get a bit more creative. Especially Ernst isn't really a trendy name any more in Germany. And all the Ernst Augusts seem a bit boring to me. At least they alternate between two names in Denmark.
Additionaly, naming her younger brother like all the heirs before him would send a strong signal that they don't see Elisabeth as the heiress. And I personally wouldn't like that signal (Not that I think that they care what I think  )

Will Prince Ernst August Jr be proclaimed as the head of the House of Hanover automatically (I can not find a better word) ?
I am confused because ... Prince Ernst August Sn expressed his displeasure with his son's marriage. The rules were said to be broken because his son did not get a formal consent to marry.

 Good question....I wonder when his first grandson is born will E-A Sr finally soften toward his Heir and his new wife?
I don't know if Sr. has ever even met his grandaughter...which is very sad.

Well ... It is impossible to determine what Prince Ernst August will do. He so far has adopted belligerent attitude towards his eldest son. Hopefully TRF members from Germany will be able to clarify how a new head of the house in question is appointed/chosen.

I think it's more of a case of getting along between young royals and I was delighted to see the Princes at the wedding. But of course this might be also a statement.
Congrats to the couple! And I thought the belly was just a rest from the last pregnancy

Thanks for the update!
Princess Elisabeth bears a close resemblance to her father.

Godparents of Elisabeth Tatiana Maximiliana Iacobella Faiza von Hannover (apparently known based on her name or the other way around): Tatiana Casiraghi*(34), Maximiliana Gräfin Douglas (32), Iacobella Gaetani (36)*and Faiza s’Lika*(38).

Elisabeth has a lot of hair for her age! She's a beautiful little baby and it's nice to hear that she has a Casiraghi godparent - the two families seem to be very close despite the less savoury relationships with Ernst August Sr.
