RMeingast Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Baby news in media today... And no, not that baby on TCM tonight... Duchess of Cambridge is expecting, it was officially announced... Or as the always classy TMZ puts it: "She's got a crumpet in the oven!": http://www.tmz.com/2012/12/03/kate-middleton-pregnant-prince-william/ Heard a rumour that new baby will be named Peggy 'tho... Whether it's a boy or girl... So maybe TCM has something to do with it after all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMeingast Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 All the hullabaloo is sorta silly, Hibi... But I guess it is a happy time whenever anybody becomes pregnant, etc.... Since new baby will be future king or queen of Canada, the head of state and the head of government here have sent their best wishes... Governor General of Canada David Johnston sent his congrats. (Sharon is the GG's wife): "It was with great joy that Sharon and I learned of the future new addition to the Royal Family. On behalf of all Canadians, we would like to congratulate Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on this wonderful occasion." The Prime Minister of Canada, Steven Harper, chimed in (Laureen is his wife): “The tremendous outpouring of affection with which Canadians greeted the royal couple is bolstered by today’s happy news. On behalf of all Canadians, Laureen and I convey our warmest congratulations to both The Duke and The Duchess." "Toronto Star" article about the tradition of extending congrats. to the Royals here: http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/politics/article/1297153--prime-minister-governor-general-offer-best-wishes-to-prince-william-and-kate-on-news-of-their-first-child Celebrities have even been extending their congrats. to the Royals, 'tho I'm not sure why?? http://www.bbcamerica.com/anglophenia/2012/12/celebs-react-to-royal-baby-news/ Even President Obama extended his congrats.... Still no word on baby's name... But don't think it'll be Peggy... ~Image is in public domain...~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine minutes? You have some personal knowledge there, Fedya?? ; Guess the Duchess has been preggers for some time... I imagine the announcement was made because she had to go into hospital due to morning sickness or whatever and they wanted to beat everybody to the punch by announcing it... As for WBF25, yes, much ado about nada... Everybody who gets pregnant deserves congrats., not just aristocrats... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
