British Royal Baby BT 'Office' Sweepstake ... It's a boy - 8lb 6oz - Turin Wins!

WWWwombat · July 12, 2013

it's generally a rule that males inherit first before females can... that and they can't be Catholic... and there's supposed to be a story out there that it's a girl because of William's job...

Succession to the Crown is now gender-neutral:

Ithillian Turambar · July 12, 2013

Indeed it is and it's about time too.

Re info on that and other speculation in this Thread -

I think they thought they'd figured it out - because when Kate was given a toy a while back she started to say it was lovely and that she would love it. People thought that was confirmation that the baby was a girl. But they've recently said they've not have a gender scan so don't actually know.

Makes no difference these days anyways thank goodness - I'm very happy about that. Not least because it means they won't be put under pressure to try try again till they get a boy heir and a spare. Now they can just be happy about having a baby without the Monarchy Establishment treating it like a failure if it is a girl.

I think 80% of babies arrive after their due date ... so we might have a little while later to wait anyways.

And now to update the new guesses :smile:

Ithillian Turambar · July 12, 2013

Williams job?

He's a search and rescue helicopter pilot :smile:

I have no idea why that means he's more likely to make a girl baby lol

ineedfourberfs · July 12, 2013

There's a "Helicoptoring" joke in there somewhere that I'm not willing to touch.

For obvious reasons.

Ithillian Turambar · July 12, 2013

I have no idea what you are going on about.

I probably don't want to know either lol

ineedfourberfs · July 12, 2013

Correct!

Ithillian Turambar · July 12, 2013

Something to do with spnning around until you are dizzy.

I'm going to go with that.

Do you feel dizzy?

ineedfourberfs · July 12, 2013

I certainly don't. I'm one of these people that throws up when dizzy. So I avoid it.

I am chairdancing though, because friday and payday. Oh how well they go together.

And try again. Actually, don't.

Sycamore Tree Seeds

We used to call them helicopters

I never checked my baby´s gender. I feel like it´s like cheating and I really don´t know why people want to know. Just to buy blue clothes for the boys and pink for the girls?

Ithillian Turambar · July 12, 2013

I checked both of mine. I know you will NEVER believe this, but I have this strange need to plan ahead and be organised lol

ineedfourberfs · July 12, 2013

Yeah I found out ours. Important to plan.

Because of course as soon as that information was revealed, the room has to be made up...

*drilling and sawdust and painting and swearing*

suchmadness · July 12, 2013

I want to know just so I can daydream of what they're gonna be like.

Then get a massive surprise when they turn out differently.

It's a surprise either way.

wheeloftime13 · July 12, 2013

yay!!! im so happy they changed it... i knew it was passed in some areas, but i wasn't sure if it was a definite...

and i can't stand surprises... i go insane, so i have to know the gender... my uncle did that with his wife and I was very annoyed at not knowing the gender for months...

Niniel · July 12, 2013

You do?! :ohmy: Sometimes you think you know people...

Yeah I found out ours. Important to plan.

*drilling and sawdust and painting and swearing*

Would the room look different depending on the gender?

Yes my sister did this and her husband got really annoyed. He wants to know so bad. It made it kinda difficult to give presents on baby shower..not that I'm against gender neutral presents.
