So Great Britain and indeed the rest of the world is currently gripped in royal baby fever.
I wish the new family every congratulations ( I think they read this blog , why wouldn't they ? )but I feel that the media frenzy needs to calm down a bit now.
I have never had a baby but I'm told on good authority that it is a little bit tiring and it hurts so I imagine that the last thing most new mothers would want is the worlds media taking their photograph.
Yes , this comes with the territory when you are a member of the royal family but it would be nice if people could remember that William and Kate are also first time parents who would like to spend a little bit of private time getting to know their new Son and adjusting to their new roles as Mummy and Daddy.
Another thing that annoys me is the marketing opportunists linking the new baby to every product from toilet roll to Pizza dough balls !! Within minutes of the announcement yesterday I had emails urging me to 'Celebrate The Royal Birth' with all sorts of products !! I'm sorry but a royal baby is not going to make me need a new Hotpoint washing machine xxx
