A new sibling for TRH Prince George and Princess Charlotte. :)

When born, the baby will become 5th in the line of succession, knocking Prince Harry down to 6th.

They don't seem to waste anytime getting down to it, do they? I wonder how many they'll have altogether, or if this will be the last baby.

It was always rumoured she wanted a big family and turns out to be true, read stuff in the past about four children.

Bookies odds on the name.

Royal fans are backing William and Kate’s third child to be a baby girl called Alice, early money suggests, according to Ladbrokes.

Alice is currently the firm favourite at 7/1, while other names mentioned include Arthur (10/1), Victoria (10/1), Alexandra (12/1), Albert (14/1) and Philip (14/1).

I like all of those names.

Wasn't keen on George as the first born name as we've already had six Kings by the name of George and all in the last 300 years. Charlotte not keen on as a name generally either. Be interesting if they pick a name like Albert to watch as the name's popularity with general public comes back - whenever there's a royal birth the name soars up the rankings that year in the statistics.

She sure loves that royal sausage
