Best wishes to the parents and grandparents (and great grandparents!) Can't say I would want to be in the snapper's shoes but there you go, accident of birth and all that.
Edit: just watching the news and some grovelling royal commentator is saying how they should be left to live a normal life while youngster is growing up. How about starting by getting off the air then?

I think he is better placed than Charles ever was.
Hopefully his personality will mean he is like William or Harry
and be able to take advantage of more freedom.
As an example, would Charles have ever purchased and ridden
a high performance Motorbike like William did or does, riding
it through London anonymously ?

.. bittersweet that they had a few hours together before breaking the news. Cherished memories of normality and peace before losing it forever.
Warmest congrats to them all and I hope they max out the Junior ISA.

Just a general question. If Kate, Wills and Sproglet head off to Bucklebury straight from St Mary's is Aunty Betty likely to visit there? And has she visited before?
Is there any traditional custom relating to new born royalty being presented to the Queen at Buck House, and is there a requirement for the Speaker of the House of Parliament to be officially informed? Again a tradition thing.

The Speaker can be contacted via his wife's Twitter account...
On second thoughts, her feed isn't taking any posts "for legal reasons".
Congrats to the couple from a fellow RAF Officer.

Yes, congratulations to the parents. I wonder what Father Christmas will bring him for his first?
Congratulations to both.
