It's a Princess!

Oh I thought she did have some sort of a last say. Like a veto. But what do I know. :)

I thought Diana would be a middle name. I think it should have been the first not second middle name.
 

It's agreed here that it would have been a burden to name her Diana because of bad feelings associated with her by family and the public.

The queen is asked for her approval but it's a courtesy.
 
What has Camilla done to deserve admiration? Even Charles said Diana was a good mother. Why did you have to swear allegiance to the queen? My husband never did.

We do agree that Philip is an idiot and needs his mouth permanently taped shut.

She brought the monarchy back on course, and brought stability into the troubled world of the princes, while being unpopular and widely vilified. She id all this with a dignity which could serve as a model of behaviour for some of the other Royals, and she continues to do so.

I swore allegiance when I enlisted. Although you take the oath when you join, you are not released from it when you retire.

"The queen is asked for her approval but it's a courtesy."

I can assure you it is not, as would be apparent if any of the royals tried to christen a Kylie!
 

I agree that Phillip is a total goof and he must be so bored to be getting his kicks by making stupid remarks and getting away with it. He's basically the Queen's toy boy (official name is consort) and looks like he finds everything so very amusing. My guess is that they snicker and poke fun at everyone, that's why they're always giggling together, him and the Queen. (just an impression - apologies royalists). Camilla seems to be smiling a lot too, happy as a clam to have finally reeled in her man.

Meh.... they're probabley all drunk.
 
Such disrespect on your part should be seriously punished. I would turn you in myself if I didn't strongly support your first amendment rights...
 
A few years ago, I remember reading that there is some obscure law in the U.K. stating that citizens do not have the right to name their child "Princess" or "Prince" without explicit permission of the queen. An English couple went ahead and named their daughter Princess and they were challenged by the authorities. They were being told they'd have to change the baby's name. Eventually this was brought to the attention of the queen and she immediately gave them permission to call their daughter Princess.
 
What about King or Queenie - might be cute for a pet, but would you want to call you child that? and it that be outlawed by HRH?
 
We're so lucky here, we can name our kids and animals anything we want..... Apple, orange, Moon Unit, etc.
 
Here is the scoop on the word Cookie

Etymology
Its American name derives from the Dutch word koekje or more precisely its informal, dialect variant koekie [SUP][3][/SUP] which means little cake, and arrived in American English with the Dutch settlement of New Netherland, in the early 1600s. According to the Scottish National Dictionary, its Scottish name derives from the diminutive form (+ suffix -ie) of the word cook, giving the Middle Scots cookie, cooky or cu(c)kie. It also gives an alternative etymology, from the Dutch word koekje, the diminutive of koek, a cake. There was much trade and cultural contact across the North Sea between the Low Countries and Scotland during the Middle Ages, which can also be seen in the history of curling and, perhaps, golf.
 
Cookie, you have the coolest avatars, must be the artist in you. Wish I could paint. Beautiful pictures in my mind, but my hands lack the skill.lol. So I paint with words instead, poems. :playful:
 
Oh, well, maybe some day you can treat yourself to a new one.
