Let's name the royal baby!

<p>She: Bee
He: Kong
Twins: Bee & Kong</p>

<p>Looks like we’ll be finding out soon :).</p>

<p>I read somewhere it could be up to two weeks before we know baby’s name.</p>

<p>Apparently it’s not quite as simple as that. The Queen is queen not just of Britain but of 15 Commonwealth countries, most of which have not abolished monarchical primogeniture, and the British Parliament doesn’t get to make law for most of those countries anymore. So in principle it’s possible that if the royal baby is a girl, she could one day be Queen of England, while her younger brother became King of Canada. And it’s not so easy for Canada to change its constitution, which arguably is what it would need to do to change the recognized line of monarchical succession. Constitutional amendments in Canada require unanimous approval of all 10 provinces, something the Canadians haven’t been able to achieve in a long, long time, and an affirmative vote to recognize any kind of British monarch isn’t likely to go down well in Quebec.</p>

<p>I think it’s safe to rule out Oxford. In the past Royals might have been let into Oxbridge just because they were Royal, but not anymore! Very few Royals are smart enough to get in and the Windsors don’t have a reputation for academic brilliance.</p>

<p>If a boy, I think it will be Henry. If a girl, Alice.</p>

Dear William & Kate: If William is 100% royal and Princess Kate is 0% royal, will that make your son a half-blood prince? #RoyalBaby</p>

<p>No more suggestions, about names, but I am still laughing every time I hear the words “royal gynecologist”.</p>
