Us Weekly Magazine: A “Baby At Last” For The Duke & Duchess of Cambridge
December 6, 2012 by Hollywoodite
The cover of Us Weekly Magazine also features the news that Kate Middleton is pregnant with her first child. As do the covers of In Touch Weekly, People Magazine, and Life & Style, the latter two of whom insist Middleton’s expecting twins (not least because the condition that landed her in hospital is apparently relatively more common in women having multiples).
US Weekly is seemingly exasperated at waiting a whole 19-months for the British royal couple to announce an heir (incidentally, if it’s multiples, first to be born is a higher ranking heir than its siblings no matter the firstborn’s sex and even if it’s a matter of minutes).
The headlines says: “Kate Rushed to Hospital. Baby at last. William’s emotional bedside vigil; How they told their families (the Queen came last); Inside their new London home.”
Tying the knot in April 2011, Middleton and her husband, also 30, were eager to become parents as soon as possible. “Trying for a baby has been their priority,” a royal confidant tells Us. “They’re both excited to be focusing on a new chapter in their lives.”
As her pregnancy progresses, Middleton and Prince William plan to relocate from their quaint Welsh cottage to Apartment 1A of Kensington Palace, a four-story, 20-room flat currently in the midst of a massive renovation. The reason for their move? The couple want to raise their baby in a more “secure environment,” an insider explains. The level of protection at their rented cottage on the sleepy island of Anglesey, even with all their trips to the movies and down to the shop, “just isn’t enough,” says the confidant.
The couple’s [kid(s)] will jump ahead of William’s kid brother, Uncle Harry, in line for the throne, given the U.K.’s historic 2011 constitutional change that gives a firstborn girl the right to succeed the throne over her younger brother. (Queen Elizabeth II was crowned in 1953 only because she didn’t have any brothers.) – via Us Weekly Magazine.
