awwww! Now the mystery of what they'll name her. Will Diana be in there somewhere?
I was thinking Victoria (after Queen Victoria) or even Mary (after Mary Queen of Scots) but somehow I doubt they would pick that.
Diana was the third name that came to mind (for the baby's would-be Granny, had she lived).

Well. I saw the succession line in the paper - it went all the way to 27, or something like that - and started quizzing Grandma about people and their places. She got the first six right, and she was real close on the seventh - just couldn't remember the name.

I'm constantly amazed at how many Americans embrace this royalty thing after sloughing it off over 200 years ago. And I don't say that meanly. The concept just seems to have some magic about it for people other than me.

Anyway, good on you two, Mom and Dad. Cute girl you got there.
