<p>That’s not true. People in the line succession are now allowed to marry Catholics, but they’re not allowed to be a Catholic themselves.</p>

342

<p>Consolation, but of course! And all the other Margaret Irwins too. :D</p>

343

<p>

</p>

<p>Exactly. Just imagine if the sovereign were Catholic, while at the same time defender of the faith, with that faith being the Church of England. Awkward!</p>

<p>Prince Harry has announced his preferences in names:</p>

<p>girl: Denise
boy: Denephew</p>

345

<p>^ oy! <forehead slap=""></forehead></p>

346

<p>He will be named James and collect royalties on the bible for the rest of his life.</p>

347

<p>Double oy!</p>

348

<p>“The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to announce that they have named their son George Alexander Louis.” GAL :)</p>

349

<p>Not only did I not guess the names right - I would have never thought it would have been only 3 names. Batting zero!</p>

350

<p>I guessed George long ago, but not the middle names. And why wouldn’t they have four names as is traditional and use Spencer or Francis or Phillip? I don’t understand their thought process. Louis is one of William’s middle names, honoring Louis Mountbatten, a mentor to Charles. Wonder why they chose Alexander.</p>

351

<p>^we think alike, bookiemom – I guessed George when I started the thread! I wonder if we get invited to the christening or something…</p>

352

<p>George was my dad’s name so I am pleased. Glad they didn’t drag things out in naming him.</p>

353

<p>I guessed George at the beginning of thread and got Louis right, too. :)</p>

354

<p>I only got George right. I wonder what they will actually call him.</p>

355

<p>I think they will call him George!</p>

356

<p>emilybee, megpmom – I think we’re all going to be invited then. Did you get your mail yet?</p>

357

<p>bookiemom: I assume the Alexander is a nod to Queen Elizabeth.</p>

<p>Elizabeth II, Full name:</p>

<p>Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor</p>

358

<p>I hope the call him something informal, like Xander. :)</p>

359

<p>I think they will call him Prince Georgie Porgie to rhyme with Fergie!</p>

<p>I also guessed George as first name (thanks to OP), guessed one letter in the second name and one letter in the third name. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>So far emilybee got 2 out of 3. Congrats!</p>

<p>My least favorite, guess I won’t be invited! Louis or Alexander would have been fine first names lol.</p>
