When I was out for a walk earlier I saw @Ben A looking frozen standing opposite Windsor castle waiting to do his piece to camera.  I hope someone got him a hot drink.

I guess we are going to be invaded over the next week by press and "Royalty Obsessed" punters. :doh:

New Royal Train to be announced?

I suppose 24 hour coverage of his first nappy will make a change from May / Corbyn etc on Brexit, or maybe much the same content  :-[

Neatly sidestepping the potential political content, all I can say is that Mrs Bealman is dead interested, and watching stuff, but so far, no Ben Ando  ;) ;D

They are thawing him out  :D

I suspect Ben was on cover for any news coverage for the holiday and it looks like the newsreaders and royal coverage team who have taken over.

I will take a walk later and see if he is there.

For a moment I thought you were talking about Ben, then I mentally replayed the images I saw earlier on the Japanese news but ignored due to being otherwise preoccupied and surmise the Ginger One's missus has dropped a sprog?

royal watchers are reported to be gathering around Windsor post office in the hope of seeing daddy collect his first family allowance cheque  :smiley-laughing:

Years ago when a royal baby was born my dad would say "another mouth to feed" ,
(expletive deleted) however I wish them well.

Wouldnt it be a hoot if the baby  took after his granny......(Not Diana!)

Bealman

Hard enough getting your mouth round the name....

Archie Harrison Mountbatten Windsor....

Ok  :worried:

Snowwolflair

Living in Windsor, a castle insider explained the name as follows.

Archi as in Arch(Duke) and not Archibald - remember they are all Batten-bergs

Harrison as in Son of Harry


So the name reads

"This important one is the son of Harry and is a Mountbatten-Windsor"  a touch of Game of Thrones don't you think.

Bealman

Thanks!

Better than one gushing commentator here in Oz who reckoned the Harrison bit was 'cos Megan was mates with Harrison Ford and Harry and William have had cameo roles in a Star Wars movie  :smiley-laughing:

Re name of baby,in Blackadder Goes Forth , Blackadder asked Baldrick if he knew how WW1 started,
and Baldrick replied "  A bloke called Archie Duke shot an ostrich cos he was hungry.........."

Hello all,

Yes, a pleasant afternoon at Windsor and nice to see a familiar face!

I was sent because the BBC has so many outlets interesting in the Royals that the specialist Royal correspondents don't have the bandwidth to serve them all.

So I did BBC News Channel, some radio, BBC Focus on Africa, BBC World and BBC Arabic!!

But enough of work - now back to the trains!!

Cheers

Ben
