Harry And Meghan

Have announced their Daughter Lilibet has been born.
Sorry no link at the moment.

[DTCwordfan]

agree, bedknobs - and MM's attitude is life must go on - she looked positively radiant on her ship......the interview with the Duck and Duckess of Wessex in the DT magazine yesterday confirmed this as being her want.

sorry HM as in Her Maj, not MM or even Harry & Meghan....

Taste-lacking couple condemn innocent child to a lifetime of ridicule and questions in frantic fence-mending ploy.

Woman with solid gold hat remains unamused saying only "They're barred, end of."

No matter wot color, congrats to mum & dad

[jourdain2]

Well, I'm glad the baby has arrived safely - and I do like the names, but I agree with a few who have qualified this.

[jennyjoan]

that's right Lilibet after the Queen but my cousin has told me she will be called Lily

[lady-janine]

To give the child that first name is crass and insensitive imho. G and C have been trashing the Royal Family for quite a while now with no thoughts to the privileges they were given so I suppose we can only expect them to show such a lack of good taste.

[lady-janine]

JJ if that is so then call her Lily.

[calmck]

Think it's going to be spelt Lili

[calmck]

Lili same as my granddaughter short for Liliana though after her mums birth mother

//If they had called the kid something else they would've been criticised for not paying tribute to his Grandmother.//

I wouldn't have criticised them for that - but I do criticise them for the hypocrites they've proven themselves to be.

[Mozz71]

LadyJ - If that is so then call her Lily.

Well, probably for the same reason the Duke of Sussex is called Harry when his birth name is Henry. Family preference. Many kids have abbreviated names, or nicknames.

[Mozz71]

Naomi - I wouldn't have criticised them for that - but I do criticise them for the hypocrites they've proven themselves to be.

And what's hypocritical about naming your child after your grandparent. My son carries his great-grandfather's name as a middle name. (Nothing as extravagant as Lilibet though, just a plain and simple Robert). The Sussexes claimed to have a good relationship with Her Maj, so it seems a fitting tribute. I'm sure she is thrilled for some good news after the last few months she's had.

[Fairlight]

LOL Davebro at 19.01

[Jackdaw33]

Sheis named after her great-grandmother and grandmother. I think plain Elizabeth would have been more fitting and regal than the incredibly twee 'Lilibet'.

[Mozz71]

I tend to agree JD, but if it's what the Queen's family and close friends have called her for the past 90 years, I can understand it. It is possible the Sussexes spoke to Her Maj about it beforehand (or maybe even Phil when he was still around) to discuss their plan and Lilibet was the preferred option.

Anyway, when push comes to shove it's their choice. Archie isn't exactly a regal name either!

[emmie]

nice names, lets hope the Queen is pleased -
