Jay, I think about that kind of stuff, too. How long before we have a member of a major monarchy who is gay?!
The prince of Denmark married a single mother, who was also a commoner. I LOVED it.
Our princess, Victoria, married a commoner, as well. He owned several gyms and she met him years ago when she went in for personal training. There were laws that prevented the marriage, but her father and parliament worked to change them. Immediately after the ceremony, in the moments before the door of the church were opened, her father knighted him and crowned him Prince Daniel. It was really interesting. Literally one moment he was a commoner, then, for about two minutes, he was a commoner married to a princess and then he was a knight, a prince and several other titles.
Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

Hmmph...none of that happened when I married a girl from The Bronx.

I'm thinking if it's a girl, Diana will be one of the names they include, no?
I'm pretty sure I read that it will be Diana if it's a girl. I haven't seen anything about if it's a boy. I wonder if they would consider "Spencer".

They would probably use Frances for a boy, if they wanted to pay tribute to Diana. Since that was her mothers first name and her middle name. I don't see Diana getting in there, the monarch has to approve all baby names, and QEII probably doesn't want the kid hounded night and day, or have to live up to that impossible moniker. I can't imagine Charles being crazy about naming the child Diana either. Frances is a very safe bet, then you can honor Diana without having as many press issues or family issues.
An inside connection to the royal family, Sam Haskell told reporters at Extra that Diana is on top of the couple’s list of the baby’s names. “As a royal heir, there will be four names. I would guess Diana could be in there,” He said, adding that Elizabeth and Mary can also be the likely choices. Haskell also made a point that the Prince’s late mother Diana had changed the way royal children are raised. It will be different now because of her.
They could use "Frances" for a girl but they would use "Francis" for a boy.

I've been waiting for someone to photoshop a baby coming out of that crazy ring shaped hat, from a few years back....

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

But, all day I've been singing the lyrics to 'Prince Is Giving A Ball" from R&H's CINDERELLA.
Perhaps they should name him: His royal highness Christopher Rupert Vwindemier Vlandamier Carl Alexander Francois Reginald Lancelot Herman Gregory James!
