discusses something in general.

This could go either way, but I find this bullying to be telling.

Really.

in succession after a later born boy. That's insulting to women.

Personally, I don't care about the British royalty, but I think this is special. And I see nothing wrong with celebrating Kate and William's new child...

And I'll bet that William wants his mum to be remembered.

I thought the baby might be on the low weight side because it looked like Kate was carrying "small" but that could just be her build.

The time is a mystery since we don't know when labor began or if there are any complications that could indicate a C-section.

I made a wild guess at the baby's length.

Kate was admitted to Hospital in early labor around 7 a.m.

I picked Diana and Caroline for the two grandmothers (Diana and Carol).

their debacle with Diana reinforced by having a royal baby carry the name forward as The Queen. But who knows?
