    Are you outside the hospital with other well-wishers? Are you a complete loony? What are you ****ing thinking? Why have you been camping on the street for 12 days awaiting the birth of a strangers' child? Would you have done that for the birth of your own child?

    I'll be sacrificing one of my own children again to mark the occasion. Hopefully they won't have any more or the Jip name will die with me.

    It's a girl. I can hear the calls for her to be named Diana already.

    Just think, if it had been born in two days time they could have called her Princess Leia.

    I thought Margaret or Anne but they're saying it's likely to be Alice.

    I was on the phone to someone in my family and when I said there's a new royal princess, he put the phone down on me <laugh>

    Royal “superfans” with Union Jack suits are planning to sleep rough outside the private west London hospital wing where the Duchess of Cambridge is due to give birth. The fanatics, (should be "lunatics") some of whom have been outside the Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, for nearly three weeks, are hoping to catch a glimpse of history when the Royal couple welcome their second child into the world.

    The baby isn’t due yet, but John Loughrey, 60, has been spending every day outside the hospital since April 1. He told the Standard he plans to sleep on a bench tonight if security staff will let him – an ambition shared by 79-year-old Terry Hutt. “You’re seeing history,” Mr Loughrey, of Wandsworth, told the Standard. “You’re not watching it at home – you’re there seeing it, feeling it; you’re there supporting the Royal family.

    “I’ve been here since April Fool’s Day (How ironic). I slept on a bench for eight days when Prince George was born.”Asked about the gender of the Royal baby, he said: “It would be nice for Prince George to have a sister, though he’ll be the boss because he’s older.“We want a healthy baby and the Duchess of Cambridge to be healthy.“The Royal family bring colour to our country – they’re very colourful – and they bring a lot of money to our country. The Queen is supreme.“I’m looking forward to when they come out with the baby – we’ll be dancing and singing on the bench.”

    Pensioner Mr Hutt (Jabba to his mates) , wearing a suit emblazoned with British flags, said he had been a Royal enthusiast since the age of four.
    “I was in the Blitz,” he said. “They came around to reassure people they weren’t leaving the country because we were losing the war at that time.
    “I saw the Queen and Princess Margaret on horseback in Hyde Park when I was about 11. “The first Royal baby I really fell in love with was William. I loved Diana – I help the homeless and I met her once under a bridge where there had been a group of them there for 13 years. She came along out of the blue.”
    Gesturing to the bench where he plans to spend every night until the baby’s arrival, he said: “I did it for 12 days for George.
    “The longer you’re here the more people give you food. I had so much food last time when I left that I took it to the homeless.”

    Retired carpenter Mr Hutt, who lives in Weston-super-Mare will be 80 on April 30 but intends to camp outside the hospital as long as it takes for him to see the new baby.

    Margaret Tyler, 71, told the Standard she had stayed outside the hospital for Prince George’s birth in 2013. “He was worth it,” she said.
    “I’m called the ‘loyal-est Royalist’ – I’ve got 10,000 items at home on the Royals. I have about 1,500 books but there are new ones coming out all the time so I never catch up.

    “I think Prince George would like a boy – boys like to fight and play football. But I think William wanted a girl last time and it would be nice if he got his wish. “They’re very good parents – very hands-on. Charles and Diana paved the way for them.” (with just the 3 Nannies)

    The grandmother-of-four added: “It’s just exciting. All new babies are beautiful, but a Royal baby is a bit special and our Royal family are so well loved around the world. “I was nine when the Queen was crowned and I’ve met her on three occasions. She must be fed up with the sight of me!”

    The new Royal baby weighs 3.4kg

    "What's that in pounds?"

    About £3,000,000 per year for the British taxpayer!

    I thanks you.
