3rd one on the way

For those not in the know, perhaps a link to the announcement would help, even if it is a Daily Mail one.

But wait a mo, according to the anti-Daily Mail brigade, this may be false news.

Strange though that they chose to put it in the Femail section of their web-site, no interest to us guys then?

Prince Brian or Princess Mona then.....?

[Old_Geezer]

In an overpopulated world a new wee baby is not really good news, especially if it already has two or more siblings. I am confident that the parents are pleased though. Since there is going to be about 150 million pregnant women in the world at present I don't see this particular one needs reporting on.

[whiskeryron]

Has anyone any idea what is causing it ( something in the water maybe) ?

[jourdain2]

People I know who have 3 children tell me that it is an awkward number, so she may have another. I think that, knowing she is prone to be so ill, she's being brave.

[sapelesam]

As a mere man I'm confused. You are pregnant, you suffer such severe sickness you end up in hospital, you do it again with the same outcome. You get one of each, super, family complete. No, you do it again. Repeating the same action over and over whilst expecting a different outcome is a sign of madness.

[ladybirder]

We don't know she expected a different outcome do we?

//Of course the Duke is incredibly wealthy in his own right having inherited many millions of pounds from his late mother. //

And how much in inheritance tax was paid?

//Maybe post would carry more weight if the poster could spell correctly. //
Best you could come up with? Get a life.

//Well I am paying your pension (if you claim one) so can I claim that back? ;-) //

How do you know Anne didnt pay into it therefore you are not paying it?

[jackthehat]

///And how much in inheritance tax was paid? ///

Far more than a canny Tax-lawyer could have got away with being paid. She had made provision for the boys but neglected to 'ring-fence' the monies and so the estate was hammered for taxes....

[hereIam]

Great news - looking forward to seeing the new baby. Hope it's another girl ....

// She had made provision for the boys but neglected to 'ring-fence' the monies and so the estate was hammered for taxes..//

not sure - we have had this before
a deed of variation was agreed where most of the bequests to non-family were given up in return for a cute silver mug - aaaaah
and they were ( mugs)
one each I grudgingly admit

and then one of the lawyer executors of the will
( I mean really Diana DIDN'T order her life that efficiently as she smiled and pouted her way across the world) became a trustee of the charity and sent in a bill for one million smackers for work really carried out - proper stuff I mean

wow - so someone really did get something out of the People's Princess's death

MM, loved your comment about being Scottish "just a word Anne ..dinnae fecht yersel' ! How can you fecht yersel'?- should it not be 'dinnae fash yersel'?

Ye'r richt Maigret, off tae the Minches gulag fur retrainin' in the mither tongue. :)

Now if this had been an immigrant family producing their third child, whilst being kept by the state???.

[naomi24]

Happy news.

[ummmm]

He was a rescue pilot. How can it be suggested he was kept by the state?

[Islay]

youngmafbog if you knew anything about pensions you would know that you pay for the generation now claiming!
So any contributions you may have paid if you worked would have been paid to the pensioners claiming a pension at that time!

[gulliver1]

umm 8.10 " he WAS a rescue Pilot" but who is keeping him now , JSA,
maybe.

[ummmm]

Crazy people travel across the world to see our royals. They bring in a lot of revenue.
