A Royal Baby Tale

 

 Could today be the day the Royal heir is born?  The news reports this morning tell us Katherine (Kate), Duchess of Cambridge, may be in the early stages of labor.  My husband and I made a short trip down to the Florida Keys last week to spend a couple of days with his family who were visiting.  His 94 year old grandmother was there as well and she had her eyes glued to the news channels in anticipation of the newborn's arrival.  She was eager with expectation and we all enjoyed her excitement.  It’s not every day that a future king or queen is born.

It’s amazing that the media and paparazzi have been camped out in front of St. Mary’s Hospital in West London for more than two weeks now – all to get the chance to take that one shot of the Duke and Duchess standing on the hospital steps, introducing the newborn to the world.  I can’t even imagine what fame and fortune the perfect picture will bring to its owner.  For the rest of us, we wait in eager anticipation of the arrival.  

It may only be Monday here in America, but it looks to be a very special day for the world.  Whether swaddled in pink or blue, may God bless the Royal family and keep this little one happy, safe, and healthy.  Congratulations to the Royal throne on the birth of their future successor.   

Cheers!
