Here's Everything You Have Been Googling About The Royal Baby
Where was the royal baby born?
Well, there are conflicting reports. It was firstly believed Meghan revived the royal tradition of giving birth at home by opting to stay at Frogmore Cottage with Prince Harry. (Queen Elizabeth II gave birth to all four of her children - Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward - at home.) Seemingly confirming the news, when Prince Harry spoke to Sky News after the announcement, it was outside Frogmore Cottage, which led to the natural conclusion that the birth happened at home. But that has since been disputed by various royal reporters. The Sun's Emily Andrews tweeted, 'We were led to believe by palace aides that baby Sussex was born at Frogmore Cottage, but in fact he arrived at private London hospital the Portland. All other details still the same! Can't wait to see a picture of him on Wednesday with his proud parents!'
What are possible names for the royal baby?
Arthur, Albert, Philip and James are all currently bookies' favourites for Baby Sussex's name - although Prince Harry has announced that they are still making up their minds, and will announce the name in due course.
Is the new royal baby a prince/will the new royal baby have a title?
As Grazia have already reported, royal author Katie Nicholl has pointed out how the couple are keen to raise baby Sussex as a 'normal' child. That means it's unlikely he or any future siblings will have an HRH title. 'They will most likely be following the same template Princess Anne used with Peter and Zara Phillips,' she says.But if they do choose to follow tradition, he will become Earl of Dumbarton, which is one of Harry's lesser titles. The baby's cousins, the Cambridge children, are all HRH. As third in line to the throne, Prince George is immediately an HRH, but following the birth of Princess Charlotte, the Queen intervened so that all his siblings would have the prefix of Prince or Princess.
What time was the royal baby born?
This one's pretty easy to answer, actually. The baby was born early at 05:26 BST on May 6, as Buckingham Palace's birth announcement says.
Who delivered royal baby?
If we don't know exactly where the baby was born, then it's unlikely we know who delivered it! Sorry about that.
Is the royal baby ginger?
There's no way to know for sure yet. But, given Prince Harry's ginger head of hair, it's a definitely a possibility! Redheads are only 2 per cent of the world's population, so it would make the royal baby even more special.
