Peter’s birth was posted at the gates of Buckingham Palace and there was a 41 gun salute at the Tower of London, but that was because he was the first grandchild of the reigning monarch. I think these traditions have much more to do with the relation to the current or future monarch than where...

It's around the 14:00 mark.

I find these photos of Sir Tim Laurence playing with Savannah Phillips absolutely adorable. They're from the September 22 Gatcombe Horse Trials. Timothy Laurence Plays With Savannah Phillips As Isla Timothy Laurence Plays With Savannah Phillips As Isla Timothy Laurence Plays With Savannah...

I think I might be crazy, because I've watched a couple of these videos of the event and I can't even figure out when it is she says "I'll give it to" anything... Now I'm hoping it's a boy, though. :D

It's lovely to see Catherine out looking so healthy and happy! :)

Well William followed The Duke of Edinburgh at the Remembrance Day service last year while Charles was absent. That could just be an exception, but I can't remember any occasion where either Wales boy followed their uncles.

I once read that back in the '50s and '60s the rumour was that the Duke of Edinburgh would smile at you when you curtseyed if he found you unattractive. So many of the ladies started to bow their heads because they didn't want to see if he smiled at them.

^Absolutely. This is one of my favorite things on this entire forum. It's always very interesting and informative to read this each weekend.

That is much more succinct than I expected! I like that they went for children born after October 28, 2011, as opposed to only the descendants of The Prince of Wales. It's much more tidy this way. So when this is passed, it would mean that Tane Lewis would move below his older sister Sienna...

Oh, OK. That absolutely makes sense! Thanks so much for the speedy answer, Artemisia! :)

I have a question that's likely more easily answered than the one that's being discussed, haha. I was reading Prince Philip's Titles & Styles page on Wikipedia today, and it has him listed as: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_titles_and_honours_of_Prince_Philip,_Duke_of_Edinburgh My...

Wow, that portrait is certainly... interesting. It's a shame considering the beautiful portrait he did of The Queen Mother. I also really love Andrew's portrait and The Duchess of Gloucester's. Margaret's would have been great if the shading on the face would've been a bit better.

Congratulations to the couple!! The picture posted of the two of them is absolutely adorable.

That's fine, but do you also take his opinion over the monarchy itself? On their website it states rather clearly that Prince Philip renounced his Danish and Greek titles.

Frances Rose really does have a lovely ring to it... though I've always said that if you add Rose to any name it sounds even more beautiful. Frances Rose Elizabeth Rose Victoria Rose Victoria Elizabeth Frances Rose? :)

I'm so happy to see that Catherine's been discharged from the hospital! She looked absolutely beautiful today and here's hoping to no more hospital visits of this nature in the future. I love the video of Prince Charles's reaction. He looks very excited, indeed. And always ready for a good...

There's nothing wrong with reusing names. There are, of course, two Edwards (Duke of Kent and Earl of Wessex). The Duke of Gloucester isn't primarily known as Prince Richard, nor is the Earl of Ulster known as Alexander, etc.

William is not godparent to Viscount Severn. According to Wikipedia he has three godchildren: Prince Constantine Alexios of Greece and Denmark, Tom Pettifer (son of Tiggy Legge-Bourke and pageboy at William & Catherine's wedding) and the adorable Grace van Cutsem, whom I'm sure we all remember...

That would be shocking. However, I do think Camilla has a lovely middle name: Rosemary. I think the first daughter's name will be filled with Elizabeths, Victorias, Dianas, etc, but perhaps a second daughter could have Rosemary of Rose Mary in it?

It's been great to see all of the well-wishes for the couple and their little one. :) I'd just like to echo that I think it's best that they officially announced the pregnancy rather than waiting it out. There's no way they could keep this secret, no way.

I would assume that if there was any foreign royal godparent it would be one of the Greeks, most likely Crown Prince Pavlos. They just don't seem to know the other royals well enough and I don't see them giving their child godparents that they aren't close to.

Ugh, finally, I've been wanting to speculate on names forever, haha. Girl: Charlotte Elizabeth Diana Carole Victoria Elizabeth Alice Francis Boy: George Philip Michael Charles Philip Arthur Michael Charles As for godparents... obviously Harry and Pippa. Perhaps Peter and one of Catherine's...

Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess!! This is very exciting news!!
