The window (and even the keyholes!) would have been covered. No natural light. This, if course, was to ensure a male heir, because it was still belived that the baby's gender was determined at the moment of birth.

I guess the rush to change the policy on inheritance was for naught, but congrats to them! That's going to be one beautiful baby. Good thing the hair comes from the mother.

So now we wait who-knows-how-much-longer to fill in the blank: "His Royal Highness Prince _____ of Cambridge."

I know that HRH is probably getting ready for bed, but I'm sure her face looks something like this:
Congratulations on becoming a great-grandmum, Ma'am!

I was hoping for a boy so I was very pleased to hear that a prince was born...... but I would have been just as happy hearing that the baby was a girl. Either way, the new prince is healthy, The Duke and Duchess are happy and everyone else is pretty happy too.

I wonder if Spencer will be a part of the name, in honor of Diana.

Sciencewoman- I too was hoping that the baby would be a little princess.

I was kind of hoping for a girl if only to force all the Commonwealth countries to work speedily to pass non-primogeniture laws. Now they can take their time and piss fart about.

Hey MC, would HRH also bear the title of Earl of Strathearn or does his royal title supersede that?
