Prince Charles knows exactly what he wants when it comes to his new grandchild.
After using the very royal word, ‘splendid’ to greet the news of the Duchess of Cambridge’s pregnancy, he didn’t hold back on his hopes for the gender.
“I really hope it’s a girl,” he told The Telegraph. Right before laughing off suggestions he was being ‘a bit biased.’
Strange isn’t it for someone to be so overt about the sex of a new baby. Maybe it’s the grandparent’s prerogative. Although at a St Patrick’s Day parade, when pregnant with Prince George, the Duchess of Cambridge was overheard saying that while she wanted a boy, Prince William wanted a girl.
Either way, it feels a bit scandalous to actually put words to a feeling/wish SO many people have . Most of us feel like it’s something we have to keep quiet, for fear of causing offence or heading for disappointment.
Take this pregnant anonymous poster who recently contacted us because her wish for a baby girl was making her feel really, really guilty. But unlike Prince Charles, she hadn’t wanted to admit it to anyone. Well, not anyone she knew.
Instead she made a list of the reasons she wanted a baby girl instead of a boy.
Here’s what she said:
The fact is: I don’t want a boy. I’ve had this feeling before. When I was pregnant with my son, now four, I’d tell everyone that I believed I was having a boy to avoid disappointment. For me. And maybe everyone else?
