    Let's try again... it's a girl!

    Well, after yesterday's hoax, it would appear that this time we may have it right:

    Was it a hoax, or a dramatic piece of prophecy. We will know for certain when she is named, but I shall forever think of her as "Charlotte"!!!

    Isn't it a Full Moon Saturday Night? I believe the myths of the "Loonies" coming out in force on such a night. I also have worked in Hospital Emergency rooms where the myth comes true more often than is reported. A birth is due for certain. To honor the Kentucky Derby I think ROSE would be a reasonable royal name. She will have a ready made platform to run on as the darling Lass ages. My best wishes to the new parents.

    From Kensington Palace via Twitter:

    The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to announce that they have named their daughter Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.

    The baby will be known as Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Cambridge.

    Well there's been so many hoaxes, rumours and counter rumours that one just doesn't know what to believe nowadays. However, the baby should have been born by now and even the BBC are now carrying the birth story and confirming the name Charlotte so perhaps its true this time.

    Well, I do follow Kensington Palace on Twitter, and that's the account it seemed to come from....

    I have just seen on BBC that she is named "Charlotte". Apparently the hoaxer had psychic powers after all!
