It Must Be a Boy because I'm Feeling Quite Blue

Today was a Monday in every sense of the word: It was nearly impossible to get up this morning. Work was a doozy. AND THEN, the royal layabout – sorry, let me clarify: the newest royal layabout (I forgot I had to be specific when discussing lazy royals) – finally made his appearance. Did you catch that? His appearance.

Yes, in case by some miracle you haven’t heard, Kate Middleton and her husband had a boy.

Obviously I knew this moment was inevitable. Kate couldn’t very well gestate her baby forever. But this child was the most overpublicized fetus in history. I can’t imagine what we’re in for now that he’s actually wheels down.  

And, it appears that just like was the case with his grandparents, the frenzied excitement surrounding the birth of Baby Boy Cambridge has less to do with the delivery of an heir and more to do with the delivery of the Most Amazing Woman in the World’s son. Sure, he may someday be king, but what’s more important is that he shares DNA with BOTH Kate and Diana. Could this child get any luckier?!

No word yet on what the genetically gifted tot’s name is, but that’s pretty much in keeping with royal tradition. They like to keep secrets; it makes them feel superior. William’s name wasn’t revealed to the peons until a week after his birth and Charles’s wasn’t revealed for an entire month. So, for now, we wait for the blessed day when the Prince of Cambridge’s Christian name is revealed, content in the fact that we are alive to witness such greatness. What stories we’ll be able to tell our children and grandchildren about the day the most important child in the history of the world (sorry Jesus) was born, the day the Prince of Cambridge graced us with his presence!

The Prince of Cambridge. The boy who would be king.

Maybe.

If his parents and grandparents don’t screw it up first.
