Baby, baby, baby....

[exedir]

Now for something completely different, and something the media desperately wants and needs to move the entertainment value of 24/7 coverage.

The Duchess of Cambridge is due, actually overdue according to some. Katie Middleton, wife of Prince William, second in line to the throne of England, is having a baby, and it should be in the few days. And yes, the media is ready, willing and more than able to carry it all, and more.

This event, is a royal occasion and full of centuries' old ceremony and pomp that Great Britain expects of its royalty. And yes, sex matters, obviously.

The royal babe will be the third in line of succession; Charles, William and this child while great-great grandma still reigns.

Which does leave the discussion open as to whether she, Elizabeth should abdicate in that Charles is about to receive his pension as the next in line. The Queen of the Netherlands has already shown the way as has the King of Belgium, as moving in to retirement leaving those in waiting no longer. The Queen Mum, Elizabeth's mother, made it to over hundred and therefore Elizabeth at 87 has years to go.

Of course, the joyous occasion is also been pre-marketed and hyped, with the wagering on the outcome a major play in betting parlors.

The current line is on it being a female, and as guess at to a name it might be Elizabeth Ann, though a sentimental favorite would be Diana. Whereas the question of a boy and a boy's name is harder bet in that Diana's boys were William and Henry(Harry) leaving open the naming options with probably a George a good bet in that it skips a few generations and yet falls in line with the history of the House of Windsor, of the also runs is Andrew and Edward but the current incumbents are a problem.

Or the tire that up under the car somewhere for when you need it. If you can find it.

[ProblemAgain]

so does that mean a royal spare is smaller than a regular one?

[exedir]

Well, certainly Prince Harry would be diminished.....and freer to be Harry....not the heir....

[Lifesighs]

I thought this baby was third in line, he would be after Harry.

[P.A.]

He is third in line. Harry is pretty much out of the running now.

[exedir]

Charles, William, and baby X....as for Harry, maybe he will be Duke of York when Andrew is no longer with us....other than that, he has his inheritance and his job in the army to live on.... 

[exedir]

It is a George boy....and for that I win, absolutely....nothing....but it is so sixties....

[LoveLife&Laughter]

Another George, wow.
