  • 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.
