Question About The Royal Baby...

[dunnitall]

My OH saw the photo of the new born royal babe when Catherine was leaving the hospital and remarked that the baby didn't look new born as in a few hours old, I thought nothing of it, didn't even consider that. I've just read somewhere that there is a conspiracy theory by some Russian press/people that they didn't think the baby was newborn and indeed some think she was born a few days earlier from a surrogate mother! I'm not into conspiracy theories but was shocked that only yesterday my OH had said about the baby not looking like a newborn. Does anyone else think that?

As a result of James II misbehaviour ( he really wasnt a Good King, and didnt really try )

it turned out that a French general leading a British army was defeated by a French army lead by a British General ( Duke of Berwick who had fled with James to France ) Battle of Almanza 1707
as a result of which the war of the spanish succession was NOT fought on spanish soil ( coz the Brits had been kicked out ) but elsewhere

I think Auburn, tambo ;-)

The reason I thought she looked newborn was the puffiness. All newborns have puffy eyes that take a day or so to settle down.

My daughter...same weight plus 1oz was the same....she was the most gorgeous baby.She had long black hair down to her shoulders when she born.Nurses from other wards came to see her and that's a fact.

They didn't with my son, he was gorgeous too ;)

So yip here is such a thing as a beautiful plump gorgeous new born baby.

They're all gorgeous anyway as far as i'm concerned :)

They certainly do not all look the same, just like kylesmum, my daughter had long black wavy hair, near navy eyes and she was jaundiced. I was glad I had her at home as I would have had some funny looks in hospital. As she grew older she lost all her hair, was as bald as a coot for a time, then it grew back fair. Her eyes lightened to light blue and she lost the jaundice. Entirely different baby again.

i think that she appeared older because of her birth weight 8lbs 3ozs.

It doesn't look new born because it is a Russian spy with dwarfism who was substituted by a KGB agent nurse within minutes of the birth. The real newborn is on it's way to Siberia. It's all part of Putin's plan to get an insider into the upper class here and expand on Charles' idea of applying pressure to do things his way.

After 30+ yrs as a Midwife my OH says definitely New-Born.

The answer is quite simple really .

The baby went via the make up department , before facing the cameras
