Belgian Crown Princess Mathilde gave birth to a 3.9kg and 5Ocms long boy at 1.06pm today in Anderlecht. Emmanuel Leopold Guillaume François Marie (could that name be any longer?) is her third child with Crown Prince Philippe. The baby was due late october, but Gabriel, their second child was also born a few weeks early. The couple has a daughter, Elizabeth (3) and a son, Gabriel.
Thanks a lot to CBB readers Marianne and Aagje.

You were right. Just one hour ago Mathilde gave birth to a baby boy: Emmanuel Leopold Guillaume François Marie. Little Emmanuel and his mother are happy and healthy.

Wow, what a big boy for being born early! (I did the conversion, and 3.9 kg is about 8.5 pounds.) I bet now she’s glad she didn’t carry until her due date, that little one would’ve been quite big I’m sure!

eurochild – I’m French so…
And fyi, that’s how Standaard.be wrote it. So blame an official BELGIAN site for this typo.

I guess we’ll never know if Emmanuel was born early or right on time.
The “official” due date of our pregnant princesses is often two or three weeks earlier than the real date. Just to avoid hordes of impatient fans at the hospital…

Ughh jee Julie, I wasn’t being harsh or even serious about it.

It’s ok, I just wanted to answer. No hard feelings.
