It seems the cry for a Royal baby girl is growing louder in England.

Kate Middleton has not made a public appearance since it was announced that she was pregnant with a second child.

The duchess cancelled a trip to Malta 2 week ago after suffering acute morning sickness.

The illness, hyperemesis gravidarum, which she also suffered during her first pregnancy, causes extreme nausea and vomiting, and can lead to dehydration.

So there is hardly anything to report on Prince George's mother and his forthcoming younger sibling.

But that doesn't stop speculators and the guessing game.

Over the weekend, royal biographer Andrew Morton—who wrote a much-publicized biography of Princess Diana, revealing details of her private life, told The Sun that he believes Kate and William will name their child (if it’s a girl) Elizabeth Diana Windsor, honoring William’s late mother.
 
He told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "Close friends to William and Kate have told me that if it is a girl they want to name the baby after Diana.

"They discussed girls' names before George was born and now they're hoping the next one is a girl so they can carry out their wish to honour William's mother.

"They're not too thrilled at the thought it will be shortened to Princess Di. But it won't change their minds."

What's more, the biographer explained that other members of the royal family would be furious if the new baby was christened Diana Elizabeth, due to the alleged hostility between Diana and the rest of the monarchy.

Certainly doesn’t seem a completely illogical possibility and we are not sure about his "close friends" who divulged such details.
