Royal baby

Post Reply New Topic

What, so is it born yet? I came here to find out the gender. If it is male, I hope it's not some posh boy's name. Be real.

male

I'm hearing it n the news right now.

Ohhhh I was hoping it would be a girl. The Royal Family has enough boys in it. Much like my Dad's side of the family does. But they could always have another child who might be a girl...

Darn it, it IS a rather posh name. Just necause you're born into a posh family doesn't mean you have to have a posh name!!

Also, I have been thinking about how lucky I am to be a normal lived person. I mean, he's got his whole life planned out for him, and he'll have all the money he could ever want, but he'll have hardly any friends who are normal like us, he'll never have a job, so his social life might not be that good, especailly if he gets lots of respect just because of his royal status. What if he wants to just live a normal life?

George is a royal name with history. He'd be one of several Georges born since the monarchy was founded. All of his other given names are names of former royals too.

Quite frankly his name was pretty predictable. I was hoping it'd be something Germanic. Oh and his surname is Windsor-Mountbatten. George Alexander Louis Windsor-Mountbatten. Hope there's enough squares on all the forms he'll have to fill out in his lifetime

This s**t is going to get shoved down the throat of every ecstatic loyal royal for another couple of generations...
and everybody else

the woman looks like she is still pregnant in this picture


i am not in the slightest interested in the matter, but it is festooning our news, and so it is difficult not to at least see some of the media releases pertaining to it.

i dreamed a few months ago that the baby was born with down's syndrome (from which i woke with considerable mirth). i then spent about 30 minutes considering how it would be handled if the royal birth was a down's syndrome baby. would they show it to the press? or would they trade it for an adopted normal baby behind the scenes and show the adopted one to the press?

when i think about it (idly of course), i reach the conclusion that there would have to be contingency plans in place in case the royal baby was somehow handicapped. i do not think they would reveal that the middleton woman had thrown a dud.

what if it was a royal miscarriage? would they reveal that fact to the world?

what if the middleton woman was not pregnant at all, but had just developed a beer gut, and the royal press advisers decided that the best way to explain it was that she was pregnant?

what if her extended "labour" was just a ploy so that she could have liposuction on her belly, and time ran out and they had to come up with a born baby within the credible time limits for her apparent gestation?

from the expression on the william fellows face, i suspect that the baby he is handling has done a "royal poo" that is quite odorous, and the middleton woman's expression may indicate that she is glad that she is not holding the baby in symphony with her wondering whether the press my zoom in on the royal spoilage opportunity.

crowds are so stupid and hysterical. sometimes i leave my TV on in the lounge room when i go to sleep (because i forget to switch it off). when i am busy, i have it on mute, but when i am just about to go to bed, i sometimes un-mute it, and the next day at 12pm, the ellen degeneres show comes on, and it wakes me up. the mindless cheering from all the women in the audience is like coarse sandpaper scrubbing my senses. it just continues ad nauseum for most of the show. all she has to do is jiggle her hips and there is another 10 minute avalanche of gushing applause.
they never stop. it sounds like passengers in a 747 with both wings snapped off screaming as they plummet toward the earth. i have to get up temporarily and switch the TV off because the sound is intolerable. even from another room.


the atmosphere of mindless glee that greets every scintilla of information pertaining to any of the three of them reminds me of the "ellen" show.

everyone who's voice was a component of the almost deafening "white noise" of approval, dropped a package of excreta into the sewers that day. mindless crap. think of the amount of human waste shat from the bums of the adoring and hysterical public during every day.

madness.

Exactly. Why can't he have a name that HASN'T been used in royalty for once? If I was part of the Royal family, I would name my child whatever I wanted, regardless.

And a double-barrelled name is known to be SOOOO posh.

If Prince George (or William or Charles) had Downs Syndrome, then I think the "quiet trade" would probably have happened. Of course, there's still a chance they could be autistic or something. I don't think a disabled monarch would go down well.

If Prince Harry or Prince Andrew had been born with Downs then I reckon they'd be raised as royalty, but with minimal duties and no time in the armed forces.

autism is not evident from physical appearance and not diagnosable for a few months after birth, so i can see how an autistic baby would be shown off, but down's syndrome babies have that peculiar appearance that is evident from birth.

if she had a down's syndrome baby while the paparazzi were hot on her heels for pictures, i believe there would have been a swap, as sad as that really is in reality.

Possibly there was in utero testing for things like Down's. We don't know, though. I wondered much the same.

Wasn't there a Prince who was kept hidden who may have been autistic? Queen's uncle, I think? He died rather young.

Hemophilia also ran in the royal lines. It is good they got some fresh DNA in with Kate's family; the royals all over Europe tend to be a bit too inbred.

Isn't hemophilia the one where blood cannot clot so someone can easily die from blood loss from a single cut?

And I learned in school that the Royal family tend to be inbred. They're mostly too selfish to combine their genes with other people who are lower than them, even if it's only a little bit lower.

I'm sure there would have been in-depth poking and prodding into Kate's genetic heritage before she was even allowed to say I DO, not just for genetic ties to royalty (which she doesn't have), but for predisposition to health problems.

One interesting thing about the British royal family is that they are not British at all. They are actually German. It's funny how very few people actually know this. Well Prince William has British ancestry through is mother Princess Dianna, but I think that is it.

The Windsor name is actually a con they changed it to that around the time of WW1 because Germans were not very popular back then.

According to genealogists, Kate is very distantly related to royalty as well as various U.S. Presidents (via the Mayflower passengers, I think.) So, in a sense she does have some 'royal DNA' after all. Not too surprising, I guess.

Yes. Tsarevich Alexei (of the Russian royal family) had it, which led to a family dependence on Rasputin (the hypnosis he used calmed the boy and slowed his heart beat, saving his life more than once during a bleed.) Some said that controversial figure Rasputin caused distrust of the royals from the commoners, and helped lead to the revolution. Many other royals in the European families have been hemophiliacs, although today one would mostly need injections of clotting factor to be fine.

I knew the Windsors were German. The name "George" was chosen (by a past King) to sound more English, too. (What's more, Philip is Greek.) Diana and Kate are English, though, so they're seemingly breeding England back into their Saxe-Coburg (name changed to "Windsor") line.
