Kate Middleton has given birth to the royal baby! The Duchess of Cambridge welcomed a healthy boy into the world today!
Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, was at Kate’s bedside during the happy occasion.
Kate and Will’s bouncing baby boy is the first grandchild of Prince Charles and he is Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip’s third great-grandchild.
Kate Middleton has been released from the hospital and is in good spirits after her pregnancy scare. The Duchess of Cambridge spent four days at the Kind Edward VII Hospital in London, being treated for a condition called hyperemesis gravidarum, or HG, which occurs in 1-2 percent of pregnancies — Not a dangerous condition for the baby, but, often a sign that the pregnancy involves multiples!

Some guys just have it all!
Prince William is serving the Royal Air Force simply as Flight Lt. William Wales. He and his crew airlifted two of the men to safety. An additional crew member was later recovered, but five of the men are still missing.
“We know at least some of [the missing] are wearing immersion suits and have strobe lighting with them,” Jim Green, a coast guard spokesman, said Sunday. “However, sea conditions are challenging at best.”
Guess who’s coming to America? I know, the picture is a dead giveaway! Oh and I guess the title too.
Ever since Friday, and perhaps even from weeks before for some of us, we have been glued to our TV sets and the internet to watch anything and everything which has to do with the Royal Wedding.
And we still can’t get enough.
So, to feed your appetite and fancy a bit more, here are some photos from the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton from a perspective that you probably haven’t yet seen. Or experienced.
My friend Nilou Tamaddon Jones is an American living in England. She woke up at 4 AM April 29 to be in front of Buckingham Palace by 6:15 AM on the day of the Wedding. She and her friend Diane Glauser had taken a three-hour train ride from Harrogate, North Yorkshire to be in London the day before. They ate very little for breakfast on the big day (a muffin and hardly anything to drink) so they could stay at their spot all day without a need for a bathroom break. Oh yeah, I hadn’t even thought about that! BRILLIANT!
Nilou and Diane got some great shots of the Princess and Queen leaving for Westminster Abbey before the wedding…and then got everyone’s return back to the Palace by 1:30. It’s amazing how close civilians got to the action – how wonderful it must have been to witness history unfolding right before your eyes while we, the rest of the world, all watched it happen on TV!
Enjoy!

Prince William and Kate Middleton got married Friday and two billion people watched worldwide. In the US alone, more than 18.5 million U.S. households watched the pomp and circumstance live (versus an estimated 14.2 million for Charles and Diana’s wedding in case you were wondering.)
The Royal family has released three official Royal Wedding portraits taken by Hugo Burnand at Buckingham Palace. And here they are for your viewing pleasure:

WOW – it’s expensive to run a Royal Wedding!
The total cost of the wedding, including the flowers ($800,000), banquet, dress and ring is expected to top $60 million.
Congratulations to Prince William and Kate Middleton – the two have just exchanged their vows Friday morning and are now husband and wife.
“The Queen has today been pleased to confer a Dukedom on Prince William of Wales. His titles will be Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus….Prince William thus becomes His Royal Highness The Duke of Cambridge, and Miss Catherine Middleton on marriage will become Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge.”
