Royal Baby is Boy It's a Baby boy for Kate and Prince William's

It's a Baby boy!

Prince William's wife, Kate, has given birth to a boy, a child now third in line to the British throne.The child was born Monday, after many Britons woke up to the news that Kate had gone into labour with the couple's first child.

The birth announcement, via a press release from Kensington Palace, said the boy was born at 4:24 pm weighing 8 pounds 6 ounces.The royal birth recalled that of the baby's father, William, in 1982, at the same central London hospital. Many remember the moment when he was carried out in his mother Princess Diana's arms with proud father Prince Charles at their side.

William and Kate's son is expected to follow Charles and William to the throne.No one can tell what political and personal changes the intervening years will bring, but the baby can be expected to become the head of state of 16 countries, including Britain, Australia and Canada, and possibly the head of the Commonwealth, which covers 54 nations.

The child will also eventually become Supreme Governor of the Church of England.The baby represents a living link to Britain's imperial history - the infant is the great-great-great-great-great-grandchild of Queen Victoria, who ruled at the peak of British power.

Many Britons had hoped that William and Kate would start a family shortly after their gala 2011 wedding, which drew a global television audience in the hundreds of millions.The couple waited, however, until William was nearly finished with his military work as a search and rescue helicopter pilot based at an air base in a remote island off the coast of Wales.

That allowed Kate to ease into royal life, and to become more comfortable in the spotlight, before becoming a parent. It also allowed her to play a supporting role during Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee celebrations last summer.The first months of her pregnancy were not easy, and she was hospitalized in early December with acute morning sickness that left her weak and dehydrated.

She seemed to recover her stamina fairly quickly and made a series of public appearances until the final weeks before giving birth, drawing praise for her poise and good cheer.

The royal couple and their newborn are expected to spend much of their time in the coming years in renovated quarters at Kensington Palace, where William and Harry also spent much of their childhood.

Royal officials say Kate and William will try to give their child as normal an upbringing as possible - which may be challenging in an age when the British royals are treated as major world celebrities.

Royal baby to arrive on July 13?

Britain's Duchess Catherine's baby is due on July 13, friends of the royal and her husband Prince William have claimed.The duchess and her husband Prince William confirmed they are expecting their first child together in December after she was hospitalised with severe morning sickness, but Buckingham Palace have so far only disclosed the new arrival will be born sometime in July. However, friends of the couple have reportedly been overheard talking about the exact due date the duchess - who was known as Kate Middleton before her marriage - has been given.

A source told the Mail on Sunday newspaper: "Some of Kate and William's closest pals were at a barbecue hosted by a family friend of the royals recently."They were all discussing the fact that Kate's baby is due to be born on July 13. Everyone was very excited."The day falls in the middle of the Coronation Festival, a four-day celebration to mark 60 years since William's grandmother Queen Elizabeth was crowned, meaning the couple are likely to miss the celebrations, which take place from July 11 to 14. And opera singer Laura Wright, who will perform in the gardens of Buckingham Palace, joked she is worried her performance will trigger Catherine's labour. 
She said: "I had better not sing too many high notes . . . what if my singing made her go into labour?" 
A royal spokesperson refused to confirm the report, saying only: "We have only said that the duchess is due in July. Anything further would be speculation."

Kate Middleton Pregnant! Royal, Prince William Expecting First Baby!

Kate Middleton is pregnant! No, seriously, for real this time.While speculation of Prince William's royal heir kicked into high gear last week, St. James's Palace this morning confirmed the worst-kept secret in England, and announced that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting their first baby.

"Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that the Duchess of Cambridge is expecting a baby," the palace said in a statement this morning.

No doubt intending to keep this highly public news as private as possible, there was no word on whether Kate and Wills are expecting a boy or girl, or a possible due date for the little royal, though as an announcement has been made, she's clearly past her first trimester.

The palace did announce that Kate was "in the very early stages" of her pregnancy, however, and today was admitted to King Edward VII Hospital in London due to suffering hyperemesis gravidarum—in other words, acute morning sickness. She's expected to remain in the hospital for just a few days and will rest at home after.

"The Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry and members of both families are delighted with the news," the palace said.

As is the world at large and those in favor of the continuation of the monarchy, we're guessing. Congrats!
