[Opinions] Re: New Royal Baby Girl!
Betty-Sue ... Shelby ... Juniper ... you really are predicting the fall of the monarchy!I feel mildly sorry for Beatrice: neither of her parents are particularly meritorious human beings, and in her place I wouldn't use their names or any form of them for a child of mine. Which must be a saddening situation to be in.

I've got the impression that the Yorks are a pretty close family despite everything, so probably no need to feel sorry for Beatrice.

Hahaha :)Oh goodness, is her father THE Prince Andrew? I remember that being all over the news a few months back. I didn't immediately think of it.I have no idea who her mother is exactly or what she did, but I guess if she did something awful as well they won't use Sarah.

Sarah, former Duchess of Ferguson, is mostly famous these days for Weight Watchers. I don't think she has done anything too terrible.Prince Andrew, on the other hand...

Can't recall the details; Andrew and Sarah divorced quite amicably, it seems, but that didn't prevent a photo appearing, everywhere, of Duchess Sarah and a gentleman acquaintance, informally clad next to a pool I think, and the ducal toes were being cheerfully sucked by the dude in question. I suppose having been married to Prince Andrew is enough to leave anyone a bit peculiar ... when Prince Philip was dying, there was another leak: someone in the Palace apparently said "When he dies, who's going to stop the Queen when Andrew comes around claiming to be broke?" Dear me, what a bunch. I couldn't be even slightly royalist, ever! I'm just glad I'm not a Brit.
