Oh, it is really George, good morning to you. This is, it’s a small, slight slip of the tongue may have been small, but boys are making huge headlines in the papers this morning. Take a look at this one, it says it’s a girl. Well, here’s what happened. At a charity function in Grimsby yesterday, Kate was given a small Teddy bear as a present by a well-wisher. Kate’s smiling away, replied and said thank you, I will keep this for my d… and before she could complete the word, she stopped herself, the well-wisher then asked her, you were going to say daughter. Kate replied insisting, no, I wasn’t. We don’t know yet, and we’re not telling. And this is unprecedented 1 that the sex of a royal baby is revealed before it’s born. Now the palace is not commenting on whether the couple is having a boy or a girl, only confirming to us this morning, quote “They’re expecting a baby.” George.
Yeah, Alamo, thanks very much. For more, let’s get our royal expert in here, Victoria Arbiter 2 thanks for coming in this morning.
Good morning.
So is there any doubt?
I think there’s a lot of doubt, this is stretch as far as I’m concerned. This crowd was 2,000 strong, they’re been waiting hours to see Kate. It was a lady that was one remove from the lady presenting the Teddy bear. I think if Kate was going to say anything, she was going to give it to her dog…sheThat’s what the twitter, that’s what twitter believes this morning.
And then maybe she felt like she was going to offend that person by saying she was going to give it as a chew toy.
Exactly, anyone who is a pet owner, their dog is their first baby, and Kate hasn’t had this actual baby yet. So I think she’s a very well-mannered, polite young lady, so I think she stopped herself just in time and I would say neutral….
Do you think she knows?
I don’t think she knows, we generally don’t find out in the UK, we don’t do baby showers, we don’t do gender 3 reveal parties, William and Kate are very traditional in their approach to everything, so I would be surprised if they had even found out at this point. They was told that Dianna found out she was pregnant, but back in those days, there was huge pressure to have a boy first, so I think she found out just to cut herself an easy break for the rest of pregnancy 4.
And now it doesn’t matter as much.
It’s doesn’t matter so much, no, regardless of whether Kate has a boy or a girl, that child will be the rightful heir to the thrown, so Kate can kick back and sit easy.
And how about Queen Elizabeth, we saw her in the hospital earlier this week, how’s she?
She’s doing very well, very well, yes, she’s at home resting, prince Phillip and Countess of Wessex filled for her in the event at Buckingham Palace last night, we would next see the queen out in about on Monday, she’s doing a series of engagements on behalf of the commonwealth 5, she’ll be at Westminster Abbey for service, so she’s doing very well.
It’s good to hear.
Vitoria, thanks very much.
Thank you.
