On a delightful Saturday morning, the latest member of the British royal family made her debut, tipping the scales at 8 lbs., 3 ozs. and instantly captivating the world with her adorable charm. While she may bask in the spotlight as a royal, it was her mother, the Duchess of Cambridge, who truly shone when she left the hospital later that day, looking effortlessly elegant—much more so than I do now, even though my youngest is seven years old. Such is the life of royalty!
This little girl is already set to be worth a staggering billion British pounds by her 10th birthday. But for now, she’s just like any other newborn, indulging in meals, napping, and crying. Unlike most of us, though, she sits comfortably as the fourth in line to the British throne—a position that has just nudged Prince Harry down a notch. News of her birth spread through every medium imaginable—television, social media, and even a town crier, who joyfully shouted the announcement in full regalia right outside the hospital. Sorry, Twitter, but nothing beats a live town crier!
Charlotte is the first royal princess to grace the British monarchy in 25 years, and for a new generation of little girls raised on tales like Frozen, the arrival of a baby princess is pure magic. Experts predict that her very existence could generate around 150 million British pounds annually for the economy as the fashion and beauty industries scramble to replicate her future looks—though at the moment, she’s more likely to be wrapped in onesies and chic burp cloths than wearing the latest trends. Do royal burp cloths exist? They might! What we do know is that she’ll have royal burps, royal diapers, and yes, royal poops.
So, here’s the deal, little princess: focus on mastering that adorable smile and sleeping through the night. One day, you’ll even sit up all on your own while the world spins around you. These early years will be the only time in your life when you can truly experience being a regular baby, blissfully unaware of the grand celebrations in your honor. Enjoy the enchantment of being a princess—it’s a lot to take in, but it’s not your concern just yet. Shhhh!
