Wonderful news! And Princess Kate looks absolutely beautiful, not even 12 hours after giving birth!

God Save the Queen!

With the hilariously long life expectancies in the Saxe Coburg Gotha Windsor family, what are the odds that Alice/Charlotte won't ascend to the throne until 2100 or later?

Also, is there some sort of British Royals tradition of not announcing the baby's name at the time of birth? I remember they did this with George too. They've had 9 months to come up with a name, it shouldn't take this long to say it.

The odds are pretty good unless George dies without issue, because 'never' is a subset of '2100 or later'.

Note they recently changed the law of succession, and she will keep her place in line ahead of any younger brothers.

We really should introduce some form of spay/neuter programme on this family.

I'm celebrating with a traditional rendition of the storied natal hymn "O Immutable Baby, Gladsome Fount of Light", of course.

The Telegraph getting themselves angry over the way the main Scottish newspapers covered it: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/royal-baby/11581503/Royal-baby-Scottish-press-bury-story-of-Princesss-birth.html

The Sunday Mail (Daily Record) covered the story on page 13, while Scotland on Sunday (Scotsman) covered it on page 3.

The Sunday Herald referenced it on page 2 saying "A baby was born yesterday, under perfectly normal circumstances to a woman, and Britain – or at least a large part of it – went a little mad with people lining the streets and press and broadcasters seeming to forget there’s an election under way."

Only the Sunday Post covered it as their main headline.

Yes. It took a week when Prince William was born for the name to be made public, and a whole month for Prince Charles.

It's comforting to know that our glorious royal family can still inspire such impotent hatred from the masses.
