Maybe not but I'll bet she has more names than your grandbaby. 8-) Don't know why the royals can't be satisfied with just a couple of names.

Had they been good Texans they would have named her something like Sissy Rose.

John and Yoko I don't get. Had to be more there than met the eye.........and drugs were involved.

Charles and Camilla I understand completely. Theirs is a true love story and a story of how family/country expectations and requirements can screw up a person's life. I'm glad he finally had the gumption to buck the system and marry the woman he had loved for years.

I think I understand John and Yoko. Although John took full advantage of the fame and fortune, at his core he was an artist and did not like the constraints of being a Beatle and or living up to the expectations of Beatles fans. Yoko was a complete departure from the Beatle mold. Avant garde artist, not western/European, not one of the beautiful people. She was the poke in the eye of all the teeny-boppers who just wanted John to be one of those loveable moptops. John was probably more in love with what she represented as a positioning statement than who she was a person.

Edward VIII gave up the throne to marry Wallis Simpson in 1938 (I think).
It's almost forgotten about, but it was a huge story when it happened.
