Andrew Morton Quote

At 9.03 pm on June 21, 1982 Diana produced the son and heir which was cause for national rejoicing. When the Queen came to visit her grandchild the following day her comment was typical. As she looked at the tiny bundle she said drily: Thank goodness he hasn’t got ears like his father. The second in line to the throne was still known officially as Baby Wales and it took the couple several days of discussion before they arrived at a name. Prince Charles admitted as much: We’ve thought of one or two. There’s a bit of an argument about it, but we’ll find one eventually. Charles wanted to call his first son Arthur and his second Albert, after Queen Victoria’s consort. William and Harry were Diana’s choices while her husband’s preferences were taken into account in their children’s middle names.
