This walrus acts just like a little kid as it repeatedly goes down the slide into the water. Hilarious! The walrus is from the Harderwijk Dolphinarium in the Netherlands.
That’s how Meghan Markle and Prince Harry must be feeling right about now, as protocol dictates they must pick a baby name from a list of royal-approved choices.
Meghan and Harry announced they were expecting their first child last month, and while they have a few months to go before they need to make a decision about what to call their baby, it’s no doubt something that’s playing on their minds.
They’re in a very different situation to most parents, in that the Queen basically needs to approve of their royal baby name.

According to royal expert Victoria Arbiter, protocol dictates that the rest of the family – and the Queen in particular – must be made aware of the baby’s name before it can be revealed to the public.

Kate Middleton and Prince William waited two days before they announced the names of Prince George and Princess Charlotte, and four days before announcing Prince Louis’ name.
Another aspect of royal pregnancy that differs to most is that they’re not supposed to find out the baby’s gender before they are born – something Kate and William also adhered to.

Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis will remain in the public eye throughout their lives – owing to their positions in the line of succession.
Harry and Meghan’s children meanwhile, will be much further down the line, and so they are expected to be able to live relatively normal lives – in the same manner as Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice have separate lives and jobs away from being royalty.
