Are You Over the Royal Birth Yet?

The birth of the firstborn child of Prince William and his wife, Kate, has dominated news coverage for the past week.

First they called it the "Great Kate Wait" as the world waited for the wife of Prince William of Great Britain to give birth to the couple’s firstborn child. Was it a boy, was it a girl, would it be a Leo, or would it slip in as a Cancer?Β 

Then the baby was born and it was a boy, another male heir to the British throne. People partiedΒ in pubs and inΒ the streets in England – and here in the United States.

The wall-to-wall coverage didn’t stop there. Fox News ran storiesΒ askingΒ when we would get our first look at the baby, CBS followed up with the debutΒ when we finally got our first lookΒ and ABC offeredΒ complete coverage when the happy coupleΒ left the hospital with the young heir.Β
