Birthday party

Sister's birthday yesterday, brother-in-law's birthday today - and then some minor royal had to get in on the celebrations.

Most chat amongst the hoi polloi is about the likely name of the Princeling, but Paddy Powers is also offering bets on baby's first word. Papa and Mama are obviously top of the list, but are closely followed by Nanny (8/1), Crown (66/1) and Corgi (100/1).

Frighteningly, you can also vote on when the royal sprog will make his first nightclub visit. The small print: Applies to the age of William and Kate's first child when the first national daily print newspaper publishes a photograph of him or her entering or leaving a nightclub that serves alcohol.

Cameras at the ready...........
