  • Girl for Kate and William (and Charles)

    Grandfather Charles got the granddaughter he told people he was hoping for. (And the 7 of you who guessed it would be a girl in the poll were right.)

    Anyone have any nice suggestions for names for a girl? I think there are so many pretty names in the historic English/Scottish/British royal history, and I hope they use some of them.

    Other royal births that took place on this date:
    1458 – Eleanor of Viseu (d. 1525)
    1729 – Catherine the Great, (d. 1796)
    1896 – Helen of Greece and Denmark (d. 1982)
    1975 – Nathalie, Princess zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg

    May 2. was the wedding day of Léopold of Saxe-Coburg and Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales in 1816.

  • Welcome to the twins

    With the arrival of the twins in Denmark last Saturday, and their departure from hospital today falling together with the arrival of my replacement computer this week, I am looking forward to the return to blogging.

    Having an enforced break from most things royal have been nice, but I’ve also missed participating.

    I’ve seen Young Victoria, (as well as Wild Target, and both are recommended) and here is a question: Is it just me or do Kate Middleton and Emily Blunt look fairly similar?
