The people of England, as well as people all over the world were ecstatic to hear the news that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were expecting a baby. The couple of two years received massive amounts of support throughout the pregnancy, so one can imagine that when the day came for the baby to make it’s first public appearance, the nation burst into a fleet of excitement.

     The new parents shared their beautiful baby boy with the public July 23, just one day after the birth. George Alexander Louis was born in good health, weighing eight pounds and six ounces.

    Born in St. Mary’s Hospital in London, baby George automatically became third in line to the throne. He also became the seventh “George” to grace the royal family, following in proper tradition. His name was announced on July 24th, the same day they addressed the media and reached out to supporters around the globe.

     It was a happy moment not only for the adoring parents, but also for the baby’s grandparents. Prince Charles and his wife Camilla said in a statement “”Both my wife and I are overjoyed at the arrival of my first grandchild. It is an incredibly special moment for William and Catherine, and we are so thrilled for them on the birth of their baby boy”.

     Most of all, the people of England rejoiced in the birth of the new baby. British Prime Minister David Cameron told CNN “I’m sure that right across the country and indeed right across the commonwealth, people will be celebrating and wishing the royal couple well”.

The birth of a baby is a typical event, but took the news by storm. Junior Tanios Abisaad said “it’s cool that something as peaceful as the birth of a baby could make international news instead of just the usual negative stories we hear in the media”.

It was not just adults that were excited by the birth. Scituate High School junior, and royal family enthusiast,  Kendra Miller also expressed her delight over the recent birth saying “the new baby represents a new generation of royals who are model figures for society”.

    Kate Middleton, The Duchess of Cambridge, well known for her relatable personality is ensuring her child is raised in the most normal way possible. Already the family is breaking through royal tradition with their first official family portrait released on August 20th. The charming photograph was taken by none other than Michael Middleton, Kate’s father, as opposed to the customary royal photographer.

    Despite the regal new-born being a future king, parents William and Kate are treating the situation the way any parents would; with love and excitement. All in all they are truly setting an example for new parents everywhere.
