OMG someone came out...and popped back in, like Oops, wrong door. LOL

LOL!  I thought the same thing.

[hisno1girl]

Ooof! he jus did it again.

No wheelchair for Kate? She'll have to walk down the stairs? I wonder if they're going to put him in a car seat or just hold him?

I hope William comes outmholding the baby.

[luckyval]

I'd kinda like Mr. Bean to come out and do that

[hisno1girl]

HERE THEY COME

[vanillacourage]

Eonline definitely has the best view of the door.

www.eonline.com/news/royals   - ETA, Damn it, they switched it over to ABC News and their view is not as great.  Hmph.

I've got another tab going with a different stream for audio -

[chedominique]

More people walking out!

[open24hours]

BBC is reporting that they will come out in 5 minutes. They are also saying William and Catherine will also speak.

DID YOU KNOW that at one time they used to have the UK Home Secretary witness the actual birth so as to ensure that the royal heir was in fact birthed live and another baby wasn't substituted? The tradition ended in the '30s.

I heard that they now do a DNA test at birth to make sure nobody switched babies and the baby is actually of royal blood. I'm not sure how true that is but it sounds kind of logical.

Huh. Well that makes sense. For some reason it never even occured to me.

I'm amused that apparently Prince Charles was born on the floor of a palace bathroom.

where did you learn this?  omg.  wasn't elizabeth already queen by then?  you'd think there would be some better service for the reigning monarch.

also, gray sweater, STAY INSIDE or bring the baby next time.  ffs.

[Yankees21]

This is way too much suspense!

Word is they'll be holding the baby then pop inside and put him in the carseat and get in their land Dover and go to KP.

[chedominique]

Do I see William at the door or a look-a-like?

Thunder stealer!!!!!!!!!!

[runforrest]

This pageantry and tradition is so fascinating to me.

Hurry up already though!!

[luckyval]

Oh, and love that they ordered two big pizzas after the baby was born

I sent out for sushi, lol

[lilybug]

I heard my kid waking up from his nap and he's going to have to wait. I hope there are some fun toys in his crib today. I have NOT had this tab open for an hour for nothing.

She didn't become Queen until Charles was 4.
Like all the previous royals she had a home birth.
in fact QE II was born by c/s at home as was her younger sister.

Elizabeth had her kids starting in '47, and became queen in '52.

It looks like there is a whole crowd behind the door. More people than were there 10 minutes ago.

[hisno1girl]
