The new baby reportedly had a shock of black hair and large grey eyes.

Siege engines and market halls informed the design of the Auckland Tower, a larch entrance building and viewpoint that Niall McLaughlin Architects has created for a castle in England.
The entrance marries a tall tower with a ticket hall and is the first port of call for visitors to Auckland Castle and its new Faith Museum in the town of Bishop Auckland.
Niall McLaughlin Architects decided to incorporate a lookout into the design as the castle did not previously have a tower, and the studio s founder felt it deserved one.
