Royal Baby Expected

[toalisi]

Duke & Duchess announced they are expecting a baby.

[plowter]

The News of the World had exclusive ultrascan pictures last Sunday.

I thought Charlotte Bronte died after falling from her horse whilst pregnant.

[AlwaysConfused]

guess names here.....

Anti-royalist, so don't care except that there will be yet another drain on the country's resources. Not a surprise though - it is what is expected of her. They have to produce a couple of heirs, or even heiresses. Part of the job.

Sandy, I'm not sure if it's gone through yet but they were changing the law so the first child regardless of sex claimed the succession

[stewey]

he news has even reached to the Colonies. Look: they're even choosing names

Jeez, her front bottom works and the royal *** works, big deal?

[seadogg]

We are going to have a backlog of royals waiting for the top job if it still exists by then.

What brilliant news - a great end to a fantastic year. I hope the Duchess soon feels better, my sister had this condition and she was in and out of hospital for the whole time she was pregnant (with twins!)

Me, I'm happy fo any couple who want to start a family and achieve their goal. There my joy ends, another parasite for the tax payer to feed.

Suppose the press will be full of it for the next 8 months, will have to get out my old copies of the Beano!

[pastafreak]

Congratulations to them-they always look such a happy couple.
I too do not understand some of the negative remarks here. They are doing what most young couples do-you don't have to be a royalist to be happy for them.

[ummmm]

Happy for them...

Do they not bring in more revenue than they cost?

Charles is self sufficient with his Dutchy products.

[elliemay1]

If it's a girl will they (be allowed to) call it Diana?

[Euphemia]

Did I hear on the news that Prince Andrew was "miffed" at the possible demotion in the progenitor stakes of Eugénie and Béatrice?

[joggerjayne]

She must be mad. It's going to really hurt her winkie.

[askyourgran]

I'm really pleased for them, they are a nice couple. I never had morning sickness but it must be awful to be hospitalised because of it.

[sherrardk]

I feel sorry for them. Because of the position they are in they have had to let the cat out of the bag way sooner than most people do and she is ill to boot. Why can't people be a bit more generous of spirit?

Having never had a baby I'm interested to know how they distinguish morning sickness from the nasty Norovirus which is sweeping the country, maybe she has caught that virus and she needn't have announced her good news so early. I think they are a lovely couple and I wish them well.
