Royal Baby Birth Certificate: Released!

The royal baby is officially on the grid! The brand-new Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana of Cambridge has been registered with a certificate of birth. Princess Charlotte , the daughter of Prince William and Kate Middleton, is fourth in line for the throne after Princes Charles, William and George. Queen Elizabeth II, the reigning monarch, has been on the job for 61 years (!) with her son, grandson and now great-grandson waiting in the wings. “The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have formally registered the birth of Princess Charlotte,” a rep for Kensington Palace said in a statement. “The Duke of Cambridge signed the birth register at Kensington Palace this afternoon witnessed by a Registrar from Westminster Register Office.” Available to the public, the birth registration gives details on the princess’ entrance to the world, not that any of the details were at all a mystery. This isn’t Barack Obama’s birth certificate we’re talking about here. No conspiracy theories exist regarding the royal babies … that we know of. We should Google that.

Her father, 32, signed the form to make it official, using his fall name: His Royal Highness Prince William Arthur Philip Louis Duke of Cambridge. That’s a mouthful right there! The Duke’s occupation is listed as Prince of the United Kingdom, while his daughter already claims the position of Princess of the United Kingdom. The Duchess, 33, is registered under her full name of Catherine Elizabeth Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge. No more Middleton! Westminster Council registrar Alison Cathcart, who also registered Prince George’s birth, visited the palace for William and Kate to fill out the form. Now officially fulfilling her occupational duties as princess, baby Charlotte also got one very important visitor Tuesday in Queen Elizabeth II. No word on what official business the princess and HRM discussed, but we can’t wait to watch the royal family grow in the years to come. View Slideshow: Prince George: A Young Life in Photos

Kate Middleton, Prince William Welcome Royal Baby GIRL!

Kate Middleton and Prince William welcomed their second child a few hours ago, according to media reports and the palace’s official Twitter. The couple’s Heir arrived in 2013. Now the Spare is here as well … … and it’s a GIRL!! View Slideshow: Prince George: A Young Life in Photos Kensington Palace has announced the arrival of the fourth in line for the throne, after Prince Charles, William and Prince George, 21 months. The royal Twitter (so hip) shared the following updates Saturday: Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge was safely delivered of a daughter at 8.34 a.m. The baby weighs 8 lbs 3 oz.  The Duke of Cambridge was present for the birth. The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales & The Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Harry & members of both families have been informed Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well. With Kate Middleton in labor , she and William left George with nanny Maria Borrallo and headed to the Lindo Wing of St. Mary’s hospital. That was around 6 a.m. Royal Baby #2 didn’t waste any time, did she? Per royal protocol, an official birth announcement will be posted with the full details on an easel in the forecourt of Buckingham Palace soon. In the meantime … the palace just posted this on Twitter (so hip): It’s expected that close relatives, like Kate’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, and William’s father Prince Charles will visit the hospital. Following the celebratory formalities, the parents are expected to take their baby home to Kensington Palace, where Queen Elizabeth may visit. Great grandmother Elizabeth, 89, has been monarch for 61 years! Royal fans assembling outside the hospital are no doubt pining for a mini press conference just like the one William and Kate held to debut George. The birth follows weeks of building royal baby fever, and is no doubt a relief to the 33-year-old Duchess, who was six days past her due date . Now that the gender is known, the name should follow in the coming days; Kate Middleton baby name bets seem to think Alice is the pick. Whatever they name her, CONGRATULATIONS!
