The cost of the monarchy last year to each person in the country worked out at 56 pence or just over 1 penny a day - nothing to loose any sleep over.

I do think the press should back off though, especially when it concerns the royals personal life.

I think the baby looks like William and George, and yes I thought she looked a little like the Queen. She looks like a redhead.

As for the money and hangers on, get rid of the latter but think of the alternative to the Royal Family..

:-) :-) :-) :-)

I'm getting broody!!

Our Queen & Prince Philip .Have done & are doing a great job .they are respected the world over .we need The Royals .but just condensed down .just think if the money in the properties & vast wealth of the royal family. some could be given back to the country .in some respect .& we can be proud of our heritage .they will never ever spend it .what.s the use of millions in the banks & our NHS .Disabled people .young job seekers .pensioner.s,.young couples .are all struggling we are in 21st Century .get up to date & give some wealth back to the country . <3 To our New royal Baby

But think also of all the wealth that is generated in tourism by us having the Royal Family.

If I were to take a guess on the new baby's name, how about Alice Caroline Frances Elizabeth?

There's a nod to the grandmother in there.

I think the name will be announced today before the gun salutes at 2.00pm. :-D

Princess of Cambridge named Charlotte Elizabeth Diana

I am so pleased Diana was remembered <3 <3

I got two out of three names right :-D which is more than last time anyway :-D

Named after Granddad, Gt Grannie and Grandma. Nice.

I hoped for Charlotte Elizabeth. I guessed Diana would probably be there as well.

So after HIS father, HIS grandmother and HIS mother, you'd think Kate had no family

Charlotte is kates sister s pippas middle name :-D :-D

Elizabeth is Kate's mum's middle name

Elizabeth is the middle name of a lot of ladies of Carole Middleton's generation

Charlotte (Pippa's Middle name) Elizabeth (Catherine and Carol's middle name and the Queen's name) and Diana.

Nice to see the name Diana when I thought they would use Frances, Diana's second name.

A great move by the couple and a wonderful accolade to all of the baby's nearest female relatives.

Really love the names .Diana has been remembered x A long & happy life to all the family & beautiful little princess & her brother <3

They should have called her Bob

Bob's your uncle!

"A great move by the couple"

I was not aware that it was a game.

My wife is Frankie, Dermot. I sometimes sign cards to nephews/nieces "from Bob your uncle and Fanny your aunt".
