Are we going to get minute by minute updates today. Kate is in labour and there will be no news for perhaps hours give the girl some privacy. Every few minutes we are getting updates saying nothing. It's going to be a long day!

True, my sister and her German friends love to know about our royal family. DD's Belgian friends prefer our royals because they say the Belgian royal family are stuffy and boring hmm

OMG. That is so very naff. But no worse than I'd expect!

Must say that the 'no news news' is getting a bit boring now sad.

It was quite funny yesterday.I go walking with a large group (60) , and our leader announced at the start that he would look on his phone for information on the Royal birth and convey it to us at intervals.
After about 20 minutes walking, he called a halt, and we gathered round, expectantly.
"The Duke of Edinburgh Has visited Kate in the hospital, and given her a present. After a "pregnant" , ha, ha, pause, he said.

All of Cornwall!".....!

Then later on he drew us to another halt.
We gathered round again.

"Nicholas Witchell is just about to have his lunch.Sandwiches, and a banana!"
At the end of the walk,2 and a half hours; we never did discover anything.Of course, the baby didnt arrive until late afternoon.

I wish they'd put stand Nicholas Witchell down! You would think he owns the Royal Family. Can.t stand the man! hmm

Kate looked lovely! smile

Nicholas Witchell is starting to sound like the Archbishop of Canterbury. hmm

Prince Charles can't stand him either, apparently! grin

Witchell is creepy! Did you know that many years ago he wrote a book about the Loch Ness Monster? I think he still believes in in.

Glad they showed the baby off to the world. Wise choice but brave as well. Otherwise Wills would have had to helicopter them out of there I guess. All credit to Kate for showing the world what a 1 day postpartum belly looks like. I don't think that has been done before. She obviously had a very easy delivery by the way she was moving and looking. And the baby too - not a squashed one.
I hope now the world will allow her to spend time with her immediate family now without being mobbed.
