If a boy, the child would take precedence over Princess Anne, who will be nine this week, as next in line for the British throne after ten-year-old Prince Charles. Already, the British press was sorting favorite names-George, Albert, James or Andrew for a prince; Mary, Elizabeth, Victoria or Charlotte for a princess.
