Fantastic timing for the announcement, what a joyous thing for a dark week.
Just saw this on BBC, thanks so much for posting it here,
@sara1981I have to give Kate props on this one... an heir and a spare are expected, but to go forward and have a 3rd child at her age and with her history of HG really speaks to her tenacity as a person.
Now before anyone freaks out, Kate is a year older than me, and age was a huge consideration when I decided to be done at 2 (following on the heels of "I only want 2", and "I do NOT want to have a 3rd c-section"). So yes, I stand by my opinion that 35 is a bit old to have another baby, even though I fully understand it is biologically possible, and becoming more common. :)

^ That date surprises me, actually. I would have plumped for April myself, especially as Kate was seen drinking alcohol on the Polish visit only a few weeks ago. (When I was pregnant with all three of my children, having a drink or two in early pregnancy wasn't so frowned on and I can remember having a glass of champers at the hairdressers for Xmas and wine at a wedding on a couple of occasions, though I certainly have never been a regular drinker.) Unless you don't know you're pregnant having alcohol is kind of frowned on now, and Kate must have known at that time that there was a possibility.
It looks like it's going to be a very busy Spring/Summer 2018 for royal watchers. New baby and christening, wedding for Harry and Meghan. Better get the fascinators ready!

A cure for her morning sickness? Prince William is given an AVOCADO for pregnant Kate by a concerned little boy during a visit to Liverpool - as he reveals his wife is 'doing well'
Prince William says Charlotte is 'going to be trouble' | Daily Mail Online (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-4883786/Prince-William-visits-hospital-Liverpool.html)
It was a sweet and rather funny gesture by the boy but for me avacado would make me feel worse not better if I had terrible HG/morning sickness, as I can't stand the stuff. My mother in law used to lather it inches high onto rye bread as a favourite open sandwich, giving me the shudders!
Morning sickness is a dreadful thing, let alone HG, and I'm thankful that I never suffered very much with it. I doubt that Kate's keeping anything much down at the moment. Anything buttered used to set my younger daughter off. Cravings at this time are funny things though. Everyone who's been pregnant has had those I think!
I agree
@Curryong that avocado would not have been high on my list during my morning sickness period. This list has avocado on it due to its B6-https://www.romper.com/p/9-foods-you-didnt-think-could-help-pregnancy-nausea-but-totally-can-4875

That's awful
@Blue Clover. I would imagine that Kate's OB/GYN has recommended many foods that might work, but she's likely receiving her nutrition and fluids intravenously at this point so I doubt that anything would taste good now. This is her third trip to this rodeo, so if they were able to provide in home care then it's better than a hospital IMO. Hospitalization would be unnecessary if they've worked out a way to treat her and it keeps beds free for other patients.
@TLLK Lol! Yes, I'll never forget how bad I felt but it was well worth it. Now I have my lovely daughter. I imagine Kate feels the same way and that's why she is willing and happy to go through it a third time!
https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/859548/kate-middleton-pregnant-latest-royal-baby-prince-william/amp
Kate's HG issues have come during her first trimester and has typically ended in her second. As for the vomiting-up to 60 times a day with some women, her OB/GYN had her hospitalized for her first pregnancy and then treated at home for her second and third ones. The main concern with women suffering from HG is fluid loss, so often times they'll have a pic line inserted to receive IV fluids. Once the vomiting/nausea subsides, then they can resume their normal activities if their OB/GYN believes they're ready to do so. :)

She's added some new pieces like the ice blue evening dress for the Royal Variety Performance but reused others like the Seraphine coat. The only one I didn't really like was the light blue lace dress with the black ribbon detail.
For a boy Edmund could be used. Prince George, Duke of Kent was George Edward Alexander Edmund.

QuoteTHE Duchess of Cambridge wants to have her third baby at home after the hospital births of her first two, George and Charlotte. Pregnant Kate has told friends that she would ?love? to have her next child either at Kensington Palace or Anmer Hall, her home with Prince William on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk.
Although she has suffered badly from hyperemesis gravidarum, an extreme form of morning sickness during her pregnancies, the actual births have been straightforward and problem free.
?Catherine has said she would love to have her baby at home,? said a royal source in London.
?She has discussed it with William and he is being very supportive. They both think it would be lovely for the family to have a home birth, particularly for George and Charlotte.
?Above all they both agree that having a home birth would save a massive intrusion into the day to day running of any hospital where she gave birth.
Or a water birth, but hey...whatever. :shrug: :orchid:

@Izabella-I'd be very surprised if the birth takes place somewhere other than St. Mary's hospital in Paddington.
It used to be the case that royal ladies gave birth at home, with the best medical attention....so maybe she is considering a home birth.
@amabel-Yes I am aware that most of them did give birth at home, but since the late 1970's it appears that most of them have been happening at St. Mary's hospital. Kate's births appear to have gone rather quickly and easily so I believe that she could be a good candidate for a home birth, but her ob/gyn might be more comfortable if this occurred at a hospital.
Fergie had her kids at the Portland. But if K wanted to hav the baby at KP , she's very close to St M's if there was any reason to rush her to hospital.
We have wait and see if Kate successfully to birth at home or birth at hospital like George and Charlotte i cant judge Kate what she wanted for her needs options midwives or doctors if Kate been longer labor at home and fails to birth at home ahead baby born at st mary?s Hospital but press and paparazzi will camping same George and Charlotte when baby born and before leave hospital get pictures in magazines and newspapers show the world and UK also show off as debut after baby born per William and Kate will show the baby after born..
If Kate breaking tradition to born at home same Queen born three sons include Charles,Andrew,Edward at Buckingham Palace and Anne at Clarence House if HM Queen have approval to home birth or hospital options..
Royaltyspeaking @Royal_talk
QuoteAlso, Kate is 36 which means she is a geriatric mother so the pregnancy is automatically labeled high risk even if she's completely healthy
I did not know this. Perhaps she does dress the way she does because she feels geriatric. :blink:

?Mary? is now the favourite name for baby Cambridge number three ? Royal Central (http://royalcentral.co.uk/uk/cambridges/mary-is-now-the-favourite-name-for-baby-cambridge-number-three-96265)
QuoteThe odds for Mary was recently 20/1, with Alice and Victoria being the odds-on favourites. Albert and Arthur are the odds-on favourite for a little prince.
Loathe loathe loathe the name Albert. And as I've said before I can't see the Cambridges giving a name that is going to make the child stick out like a sore thumb among their contemporaries, especially when young.
Arthur is a possibility but I don't really care for it myself. I'd prefer Alexander to be used again, as a forename this time, or Philip, (or James, in spite of the Wessex's son.) It's always more difficult with boys names in the BRF as they are always guarding the same little store of a half a dozen names, most of them in use. I do think this child is a boy.
Mary is a meh name to me. Don't mind Adelaide, Alice, Victoria or Alexandra. None of those have been used for a while. There would be two princesses Alexandra if the last was chosen but one of them is over eighty years old, so no confusion!

The couples haven?t decide due date whether BUT not first week on April fools so Catherine been long overdue for two weeks when she pregnant with her two children George and Charlotte but George born in July 22,2013 and Charlotte May 2,2015 respectively
A Prince Frederick of Cambridge would have a historical link to the 1st Duke of Cambridge. Prince Adolphus Frederick was given the title of the Duke of Cambridge by his father, George III, in 1801 when he was 27.
I can see Frederik being used as a name but probably not Adolphus.
I am wondering if this baby is going to arrive in late March rather than April. She seems to be carrying this baby lower than George and Charlotte.
Yes, Kate does seem to be VERY pregnant this time around (swollen ankles etc) and carrying a bit low. This baby may well come in late March, perhaps a few days into April. Judging by appearances only not much later, but we will see.
Thanks for your input

This pregnancy has made Kate bloat up, suffer water retention, swollen ankles etc, and she's had a very noticeable bump from six months onwards. None of that was apparent with George/Charlotte. I have to say I shall be surprised if the baby arrives in late April, but I could be wrong, and frequently am! :lol:

Good rules but must informed to HM Queen after baby born and also cant says surname will called prince or princess Cambridge names ?its old wives tales pregnant rules!!?
Quote
Former traditions:
1. Home secretaries attended royal births until the custom was abolished in 1948, ahead of the birth of Prince Charles.
The last time a home secretary attended a royal birth was in 1936 for the birth of Princess Alexandra, the Queen?s cousin.
Home Secretary Sir William Joynson-Hicks attended the Queen?s birth in 1926, and reportedly conveyed the message of her birth to the Lord Mayor of London by special messenger.
2. The Archbishop of Canterbury previously attended royal births.
3. 42 eminent public figures were reportedly present to verify the birth of King James II?s son James Francis Edward in 1688 at St James?s Palace.
Current traditions:
1. The Queen must be the first to be informed of a royal birth.
The news of the birth cannot be announced to the public until the Monarch has been informed.
Prince William reportedly phoned the Queen on an encrypted phone when Prince George and Princess Charlotte were born.
2. Home births were previously the norm:
Queen Elizabeth delivered all four of her children in royal residences. Royal births have however since been modernised, with Diana, Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Cambridge delivering their children in the private Lindo Wing at London?s St Mary?s Hospital.
3. Fathers were not present for the delivery:
Childbirth was considered a female-only event, and male royals were expected to steer clear of the delivery room. Prince Philip reportedly played squash during the birth of Prince Charles. Attitudes have relaxed somewhat in the intervening years.
4. A town crier announces the birth:
A town crier announces a royal birth to crowds and the media waiting outside the hospital. This is a tradition which dates back to the Medieval ages, when town criers were a key source of information for illiterate townspeople.
5. A notice of the birth is posted outside Buckingham Palace:
Buckingham Palace places a framed notification of the birth outside Buckingham Palace, announcing the gender of the baby and the time of the birth.
6. Royal children aren?t given surnames:
Despite receiving at least three first names, royal children do not receive a last name. Prince George is instead called ?George Cambridge?.
7. Midwives are sworn to secrecy:
The Duchess of Cambridge reportedly had at least three midwives present during the birth of Princess Charlotte.
Royal midwives are however not allowed to disclose any information surrounding the births.

Kate Middleton's severe morning sickness may be down to two genes | Daily Mail Online (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-5527253/Kate-Middletons-severe-morning-sickness-two-genes.html)
QuoteThe severe morning sickness experienced by Kate Middleton in all three of her pregnancies may be down to two genes, rather than soaring pregnancy hormones, new research suggests.
Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), which is a leading cause of hospitalisation in pregnancy, is associated with abnormally high variations in the genes GDF15 and IGFBP7, a study found.
Lead author Dr Marlena Fejzo, from The University of California, Los Angeles, who lost a pregnancy due to so-called 'morning, noon and night sickness' in 1999, said: 'It has long been assumed that pregnancy hormones were the likely culprits of extreme nausea and vomiting, but our study found no evidence to support this.'
GDF15 and IGFBP7 play an important role in placenta development and early pregnancy, as well as being linked to the muscle-wasting disease cachexia, which has similar symptoms to severe morning sickness.
Dr Fejzo said: 'It is my hope that one day a medication that affects this pathway will be used to successfully treat and possibly cure hyperemesis gravidarum.'
Severe morning sickness ? known as HG ? can leave women starving - The Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/severe-morning-sickness--known-as-hg--can-leave-women-starving/2017/03/10/2ebbdaa4-ecad-11e6-9662-6eedf1627882_story.html?utm_term=.aa9cdcb38f5f)
QuoteMarlena Fejzo, a researcher with the University of Southern California and UCLA, had HG so severe that it led to the loss of the baby, inspiring her to want to learn more about the disease through genetic research.
?There?s something in your body that?s coding to do something wrong,? Fejzo says. ?Looking at genes is an unbiased approach.?

The tantalising baby clues behind Kate and Zara's Royal bumps | Daily Mail Online (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5570979/The-tantalising-baby-clues-Kate-Zaras-Royal-bumps.html)
I think it's a boy. Just a feeling though. There are so many old wives tales/customs; the way a woman is carrying being just one of them. I want a boy because, although George will be a bit old to be a companion to this baby as a child, it will be good for him to have a brother. He has a sister and is surrounded by girl second cousins. (I wouldn't be at all surprised actually at Zara having another girl.)
A few weeks ago the DM said she had all the signs of carrying a girl. I want another girl for the Cambridges instead of Charlotte being surrounded by brothers. Zara could have the boy and Kate the girl.

I have the same feeling
@Curryong that this will be a boy. I also agree it would be nice for George to have another boy to play with considering that most of QEII's great-grandchildren have been girls.
I think that Charlotte should have a sister. George can play with Zara's kid and maybe she'll have the boy. I am rooting for a girl. Anne grew up with all brothers, Charlotte should have a sister.

Do you think labor was induced to have the baby on St. George's Day?
Maybe, but Royal correspondents worked out some time ago that the birth was probably going to be later in this month than a lot of us expected, based on times between the announcement of the pregnancies and the actual births of George and Charlotte (who were both a wee bit late) plus the last date of her public engagements.
I think in hindsight this birth was always going to be towards the end of April. Some of us got bamboozled into thinking otherwise because in March Kate appeared to be carrying a very large bump quite low, something that's sometimes indicative of an imminent birth.

Closed this thread and moved new thread
It?s boy for Duchess of Cambridge (http://www.royalinsight.net/forum/index.php?topic=89626.0)
I was hoping for another Princess. Thankfully Charlotte won't drop behind the younger sibling in line.
Congratulations to the couple. A little prince Arthur?
I like Albert and his nickname can be "Bertie."
^ MY GOODNESS. POOR KID
Better than calling him "Charles." IMO. There are not too many names to go around. Some are already taken: Michael (Prince Michael of Kent), Richard (Richard, Duke of Gloucester), James (William's cousin), Andrew, Edward. I could see possible names as: Frederick, Alexander, Louis, Albert. I don't like the name Arthur so I have it off the list. John probably could be more a middle name choice.
Maybe Phillip James Micheal.
PPhillip, James for BRF or Kate?s brother and Micheal for her dad.
Alexander Louis Albert
Philip Alexander John
Alexander Philip Albert
Yay! Congrats on the birth of a healthy Prince!

Quotegood for her!! you only get one go round in life, even as a royal, keep working that long game
With George and Charlotte, she made her first public appearance about 5-6 weeks after giving birth. After George she attended a race in Angelsey and with Charlotte it was the Trooping of the Color. Likely her first public appearance will be Harry and Meghan's wedding. After that I'd expect to see her at the June activities: Garter Ceremony, Trooping the Color but perhaps not Ascot. Christening might take place when the baby is about 3-4 months old. :)

I rather like Alfred for a first name and call him Alfie
I think that *David Philip William* would be a nice name for the new baby......David is a strong name and very solid one also.
Heaven knows what name he's got. Wish they'd just get it over and done with and just announce it. I think Alexander is a good strong name and so is Philip. Don't know that they'd choose Alexander though because it's one of George's middle names. I like David (it's my son's name) but there's the Duke of Windsor thing around that of course.
:girlblush:Oh I was thinking of King David of the Bible not the Duke of Windsor, he never entered my mind....silly me. I do like the name David very much for it always seemed like a nice strong name of a man.....
Thanks for the heads up about Meghan not being around for the next 3 weeks, wonder if her mother will fly over to help her with the wedding and to spend some time with her as mother and daughter's do.
I also wish William and Catherine would announce the name now, not later.....it wears on our nerves here....LOL.
I think Doria will spend at least a couple of weeks in Britain just to see how everything is going, if Meghan needs any help with shopping or just taking a look around. She gets on really well with Harry by all accounts as well. I'd like to see Tom, her father, in England too for a little while but I'm not so sure that he will be comfortable in London. And if the media know either of them are around that would be the end of any freedom I think as they will be followed around.

Is Charles back from France? I believe that they're waiting until the baby's other grandfather has returned.

Charles is not on Planet Mars. It seems an odd restriction.
No but it would be a reasonable expectation for the grandparents/great-grandparents to have the opportunity to meet the newest arrival before the name is announced. :)
I don't recall if this rule was applied to Charlotte. Although, her name was announced in a relatively short time.
I'd love to give up the DM but the photos are incredible!!! And often times they're one of the few sources for English language coverage of the European, Asian and ME royals. :shrug:
Both George and Charlotte's names were released in 48 hours. QEII had expressed that she'd hope George would arrive soon as she was headed for Balmoral in August. Soon after QEII met with the couple the baby's name was released. I wouldn't be surprised that the one or two of the grandparents and great-grandmother have not been able to meet the baby yet. :) QEII and Charles' schedules have to be considered.
I think they may, just may have been 100% expecting a girl, and had only a few boys names as possibles. Therefore they may be spending a couple of days sorting it out. Charles and the Queen never rushed to see Charlotte, so why number three?
I think that they'll go and see the new baby before the name is announced though. :)

Imagine so. I wonder if they haven't got name sorted out because they didn't know the gender. or perhaps they want the family to see the baby before they announce the name.
Most parents have a selection of both boys and girls names sorted out during the months of pregnancy. That's one of the nicer tasks undertaken during that time.
Charles doesn't really seem to be a baby or toddler-type person. Some granddads dote on toddlers, others don't, and Charles seems to be among the latter. He didn't turn up to either Charles or Charlotte's first birthday parties (he was inspecting a red squirrel sanctuary for George's birthday celebrations) so I don't know why people expect him to be on the steps of the Cambridges' home, panting with anticipation at the sight of his third grandchild.
All the same, it's not good optics. It adds to the impression that William blows hot and cold with his father and is far more comfortable with Kate's family. However, that aspect doesn't seem to bother Charles, so things will remain as they are, I guess.

I'm sure they have names they thought of, but they maybe changed their minds when they actually have the baby and still be discussing it.. Or want to run the name by the queen.
Possibly they didn't know the gender and now that it is a boy, since there is less freedom for a male royal name, they are tryng to find something that doesn't sound too Victorian or Medieval...
Well, so it's Louis Arthur Charles! George already has Louis as one of his names, but of course there's the Mountbatten-Battenberg connection.

also a Spencer name...
Does it run in the Spencer family line though? I know Charles Spencer named his son and heir Louis, but the Earls in the Spencer family have always had traditional English names as far as I know.
No, but It is the name of the next Earl Spencer.. I remember around the time, Louis seemed to be quite a popular baby name.. I can think of 2 or 3 kids who had it.. early 90s I think.....But still the Middletons have been left out, it seems.
Lou is the nickname for Louis in the US. Famous Louis' in the US include baseball legend Lou Gehrig and comedian Lou Costello.
Louis Charles was a popular name for French princes.
Michael should have been one of the middle names.
Maybe Michael dont wants any grandchild named after him.
I'm glad Albert IS NOT any of baby's names
I don't think Michael would have minded. Just my thoughts.
I was relieved the child was not named Arthur as a first name.
Prince Louis. Good, something different (sort of).

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to announce that they have named their son Louis Arthur Charles.
The baby will be known as His Royal Highness Prince Louis of Cambridge.
It sounds that way. They could not think out of the box.
Interesting though that Charles Spencer has named one of his sons Louis and one of his daughters Charlotte Diana.

If William and Kate were given a list of 'acceptable' names then Prince Charles must be rather surprised at all the Spencer links on the list, considering his relationship with that family.
PR George Alexander Louis. George McCorqudale, Alexander Fellowes, William's cousins, Diana's nephews.

PR Louis Arthur Charles. Louis Spencer Viscount Althorp is Earl Spencer's eldest son. Charles Earl Spencer is William's maternal uncle.

Yes they are. Royal as well as Spencer names. That's why the Windsor side has no leverage to complain if they suspect that in fact William is honouring his maternal heritage as well.
I just think that it was quite glaring when William gave his elder son the three names borne by his three eldest male cousins on his mother's side. However, what could the Windsors say? They are, as you say, also Royal names, so there could be no complaints from his father and HM.

I agree with
@Curryong that having a list of names is one of the happier parts of waiting for the baby, but sometimes after the baby is born the original list of names might not "feel right."
Now I do agree with
@Mike that the couple has a list of "approved" names for those born closer to the line of succession, so I'm not surprised at the choices for the newest Cambridge.
I like the name and I think its cool they want to honor Lord Mountbatten.
more likely they want honor the spencer family as the next Earl Spencer is named Louis.
William said yesterday their baby is to have a strong name, all the royal reporters KP sources said it is in honor of Lord Mountbatten...

Pronounced Lou-ey, not Lewis.... #PrinceLouis
It would seem that the couple found names to honor Windsors, Spencer's and Mountbattens.
I've only read from royal reporters mentioning his first name to honor Admiral of the Fleet Louis Francis Albert Victor Nicholas Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten. Also, this matches Prince William's comment yesterday of 'giving a strong name' tied to royal reporters their inside KP sources. Who in the Spencer family has had a stronger CV than the Louis Mountbatten?
Although his third name Charles, as a royal watcher seems to be for his grandfather, and his second as the legend of King Arthur.
I don't t hink it a coincidence that two of William's children have the names of two of the children of his Uncle Charles. I think Will would think the Spencers are "strong" because of his mother. Mountbatten was also controversial and there were some scandals (his wife's affairs, etc).
William did not even meet Mountbatten for obvious reasons.

Mountbatten famously liked little boys... interesting years later charles become close to jimmy saville. william and harry invited charles spencer to talk about diana in their documantary, a fair bet say they liked his speech and the names of his children
Obviously William has met his uncle and cousins. He and Harry are said visit Althorp to visit their mother's grave. William has never ever visited the grave of Mountbatten like Charles and Camilla did few years ago. Nor given any speech about him

Telegraph's apparent response to the DM's article suggesting a riff between Charles and William.
What's in a name? Louis Arthur Charles is a nod to Prince of Wales and Prince Philip's murdered mentor (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/04/27/name-louis-arthur-charles-nod-prince-wales-murdered-best-friend/)
Quotell hail Louis Arthur Charles. After keeping the world on tenterhooks for almost five days, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have announced the name of their newest arrival.
And what a lovely name it is. It is also the perfect riposte to those who have, rather unkindly, suggested in recent days that there is some sort of animosity between the Duke and Prince Charles.
The grandfather-of-three has been prevented from rushing to his eldest son?s side to coo over the baby by royal duty, in Scotland, something that is soon to be remedied.
It is hard to image a more beautiful tribute to your father than naming your son after him, not just once, but twice.
Also as pointed out earlier, there are nods to the Spencers as well. :)

'Royal reporters' never mentioned that the names William and Kate gave to their first son echoed the exact names of William's Spencer cousins, either. George and Alexander and Louis. Rather a strange coincidence if William meant nothing by it, IMO. I've already posted links to the other Spencer names that have cropped up. As I said before, very subtle.
The Guardian stated: The three names are popular choices recycled by the royal family.
Popular with whom? They are certainly names that pop up with regularity in the BRF and have been used in the Spencer family. However, I cast an eye on lists of most popular boys/girls names in the UK each year, and I have to say I don't recall Louis or Arthur looming large in the list in the last decade. Louis had a slight vogue in the later 1990s among the upper classes, and that was it.
Prince Louis: 14 things we learned after the royal baby was named | UK news | The Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/apr/27/prince-louis-14-things-we-learned-royal-baby-name)
Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer resides at Althorp. Does Althorp have a chapel? If Althorp does have a chapel, could the christening of Prince Louis take place there?
Yes Althorp does have a Chapel. However, Prince Louis is a Windsor not a Spencer and therefore there is absolutely no reason for this baby to be christened anywhere on the Althorp estate.
IMO Louis will probably be christened in the summer down at Sandringham, as Charlotte was.
We have wait and see but the Cambridges haven?t discussed about announcement of baby Louis?s christening dates yet but he weeks old till 3 month old but HM Queen will off to Balmoral for summer vacation but would says July or October between we have wait and see till announcement from Palace include Kensington Palace,Clarence House and Buckingham Palace but HM Queen and Prince Charles will be there for their new member of grandchildren?s christening but HM Queen and Prince Charles never missed George and Charlotte?s christening trust me..

No they haven't. However, christenings (in the BRF anyway) occur in babyhood. Birthday parties when the child is old enough to see who among its relations is present or not, is a somewhat different thing. The Queen missed several of her children's birthdays, and not always because of public duties either. However, she is now old and not expected really to turn up to birthday parties for her great-grandchildren.
It would be sad if George, Charlotte and Louis get to adulthood and when they think of their grandparents they remember lots of occasions when Carole (and perhaps Michael) took them to fun excursions, played with them, turned up to celebrations, and when thinking of grandpa Charles think to themselves 'Well, he was always very busy, you know...Too busy for birthday parties, or taking us to petting zoos or on the beach. However, he was at our christening. Of course I can't remember that...'

Just what we were waiting for! He looks like he is a big child. I've seen that look in one of the other children, but I can't remember which one. Happy Birthday, Louis!
All babies look cute at this stage, I am envious of Louis eyebrows, My God. That is Kate!!!
As they grow, one can start distinguishing some DNA traits, the facial looks rather than real DNA report of percentages of Windsor or Middleton overall internal/external physical traits. It is never 50/50...
The only infallible DNA trait that is 100% from the mother is the mitochondrial DNA (and diseases linked to it) can only be transmitted from the mother and NOT the father. I think the Middleton's are standard healthy.

Louis looks like dad
Louis does not look just like Prince William as I see it. He has the heavier eyebrows from his maternal grandfather and he resembles the Middletons except he looks like William around the eyes
We see he has a jolly, happy open mouthed grin, and I've seen that same grin from Kate several times. He even had that happy baby grin on his christening day. But what a fast year it's been - it seems like he was just born!

Introduction to music at an early age is very beneficial.
When I grew up (ages ago!) we were exposed to music and art a great deal. We had music instruction from a visiting music teacher every week, and we had singing and music instruction from our regular teachers daily. Same with art. In fact, all classrooms had a piano. When money is short the arts are the first things to go, now. But I've noticed that in private schools the arts still have an important role.
@Princess Cassandra - (Going a bit off topic) Decades ago the kindergarten teachers in California were required to play either the piano or autoharp. Now it is rare to find a classroom with a keyboard of any sort. Unfortunately the public school curriculum schedule doesn't typically allow for music on a daily in Pre-K or K. :no:
The school district that my children attended does have a music teacher that works with the second-fifth grades: starting with the recorder and then moving to the ukulele. He does offer instruction in woodwinds and percussion as well. Another staff member works with string instruments. Our middle and high schools offer instrumental and choral music. Both of my children started with the clarinet in middle school and my son has continued it in high school: marching/concert/jazz band and drumline. His final marching band competition season comes to an end this Saturday as we've advanced to the finals in our division for our field show routine.
St. Thomas Battersea offers multiple opportunities for its students to be involved in music from a very early age. :happy:

We are pleased to share images ahead of Prince Louis?s second birthday tomorrow, taken by The Duchess this April.
George's CLONE!
A beautiful boy!
Cute little boy! The first thing I was a bit startled by was the thick crop of hair. The last time we saw Louis there wasn't so much! Like his brother and sister there's a Middleton look IMO, with a touch of William. Mike Middleton has certainly imprinted his looks onto the third generation!

This interesting post! I notice that she is well dressed, even with no engagement. Of course, she never knows when she will be seen, so I imagine this is just part of her life. I also notice she seems to be enjoying spending time with her youngest - and I can relate. When the older children are off to school there is nothing like one on one time with a child, and it is a time you treasure and becomes a wonderful memory. Lastly, I give her credit for wearing that enormous engagement ring on a regular basis.

It makes sense, Thomas Battersea school is nearby. Perhaps Kate (Louis) and her RPO's had just dropped of the elder children. She looks morning fresh.

I guess those months up in Norfolk gave them an opportunity to teach him how to ride a two wheeler. So happy that he's now started nursery school too. :happy: I wonder if he's going to the same school that Charlotte attended?

@TLLKYes. The Duchess of Cambridge took the photo after dropping off Prince Louis at Willcocks Nursery School in Kensington, west London, yesterday morning
Happy birthday big boy Louis! I think he has a slightly different shape of face to his older siblings, though the same colouring. It will be interesting to see who he looks like as he grows older.
He is such a little cutie. I think he is another version of Mike M. But there is more than a passing resemblance to William.
Keepsake, his first bike, his first day of Nursery (and his first adidas :teehee: )

Its a strider bike, no pedals on it. Perfect bike for little kids that age as no training wheels needed. They are built to help kids learn to balance.
Happy Birthday to Prince Louis!
I like the color of his bike. I had some red bicycles.
Such a cute picture but ( and I hate putting a damper on things) no helmet?? I hope it?s just for the photo.

I love those balance bikes, and the children love them because the can go very fast on them. Prince Louis seems like a very big boy to me - as though he may be the tallest when grown. I think we can expect all of the Cambridge children to be tall, however. He has Kate's huge smile.

I think he may be the tallest of the three. He looks like a four year old but is very tall for his age. I, too, saw the resemblance to his father in the running picture.
Do you think Prince Louis will attend the Coronation of King Charles III?
Quote from: LouisFerdinand on September 14, 2022, 10:55:00 PM
Do you think Prince Louis will attend the Coronation of King Charles III?
Charles was only a little older at his mother?s Coronation. However, apparently he became very bored, began playing with his Aunt Margaret?s Order of Service and after a short time had to be taken out by his nanny. Ceremonies of that length aren?t places for small children.
I also understand that Charles was really present at the coronation for only about ten minutes and even then it was far too long for him.
I believe that we'll see the older great-grandchildren at the funeral on Monday and possibly at the Coronation. Now by the Coronation, we might see Louis for part of the ceremony but probably not the others except for a balcony appearance.
:D

Some boys do, if their parents go the traditional route shorts are certainly worn in primary school at that age. However few parents in Britain would be insisting on shorts for their very young sons out of school on a freezing day, especially in Norfolk.

I think his parents would?ve known if he was cold.

Louis?s legs (and feet) would have been cold, no ifs about it. Look at how bundled up the people in the Sandringham crowd were. However royal and aristo children are dressed as part of their class not to withstand cold on all occasions. Shorts- upperclass, long pants-middle and God forbid, working class.
Royal expert says Prince Louis wore shorts to church because trousers are 'middle class' as people say he 'must be freezing' - MyLondon (https://www.mylondon.news/news/uk-world-news/royal-expert-explains-prince-louis-25839998)
All British people recognise that winter means being cold and just complain about it (and often stay indoors.) Diana dressed William and Harry in more sensible long pants for most of the time, but there were still photos of them in winter coats with bare knees when they were very young, just as their father, uncles and grandfathers would have been.
It's not below zero, it's been between 8 to 20 degrees Centigrade in Sandringham, Norfolk.
Older people wrap up, they aren't that active as children. Louis and Charlotte are wearing coats, thick socks and tights, George isn't wearing any overcoat (his dad isn't too).
Where I live its that type of weather, all year round (city's elevation is 2,640 Meters) Right now 10 degrees, bike city, many out in normal track pants, track jacket tied to their waist, I do, others in bike shorts tights and a thin knitwear top, there are many American companies here that go to eat at the usual restaurants during the evening and they are dressed as the most outrageous for the weather, flip flops, shorts a jean jacket, nothing wrong they are ''used'' to it. There's no need to go full on snowy winter wear, although each to its own, there are people who can't stand the chill and are dressed what I consider for a minus 0 degrees C.

I believe that the various family members probably "warmed up" during their walk from the estate to the church, though I expect some of the younger ones may have been skipping, hopping, jumping and running on their way over and out of sight of the public and the cameras. :wink: Let them burn off a little energy before sitting through the Christmas Service.
Those men and boys who opted to skip overcoats were likely in wool suits too and I expect that there was some warm, thin layers under the Christmas suits, dresses and coats for all.
When I arrived 5 years ago, I wasn't used to the all year cold weather, it's always between 3 to 20 degrees daily and all year round. I have half a mid size closet full of daily to beautiful coats and jackets that 'to date' I don't wear any more (it took me roughly 2 years to get used to it, after I purchased a expensive bike, very important to ride ride and ride, it's not a 'beach' bike with a basket that some people here use to go 3 blocks :happy15:), I got used to the weather and keeping body temps active. I'll be moving before June 2023, I'm giving away more than half of those jackets and coats, even if transfer is fully company paid. I've been practicing cleaning the closet every 3 months, its good for the soul and by giving, I receive blessings too. Extra note. :laugh:
I'm sad about my collection of boots...for real, not wearing them either since 3 years ago, trainers, sneakers with short socks is fine now, before boots for everything and oh my collection of scarves, that comes with me, I'm weak weather at the neck, yep, the neck gets cold, next day the sniffles, my best friend here no scarves, no sniffles, each person is 'different, she wears sunglasses, the UV at this hight even if its say 8 degrees, makes her cry.

TLLK hence the picture, Louis is wearing a long sleeve buttoned shirt, a knitwear jumper, and a thick wool coat and what looks like a thick cord shorts if not thick wool shorts (but I think its cord) and thick socks. As I said, each to its own. He seemed to be very happy. People who are feeling cold and badly dressed for the weather that 'may affect' them aren't happy eyes/smile.

I live in New England and have always been a cold weather person. We used to wear cotton dresses to school and I wore wool shorts all winter when not in school. I do suffer with the heat of summer and am grateful we have central air conditioning.
