For once Pippa Midleton was relieved that her derriere was not the focus of the tabloids. It was a certain equally cute thing, the Royal baby or the new born of Prince William and Kate Middleton. The Duke & Duchess of Cambridge had their new born but the entire United Kingdom rejoiced as if it was their own. On 22nd of July, the Royal family marked the arrival of the royal baby and the third in line to the much coveted throne. Poor thing, what pressure already !!
There was immense media coverage with paparazzi going wild with glimpses of anything and everything. Be it the baby bump of Kate or the nurse who attended the duchess. The paparazzi just wanted snaps of the new His Royal Highness (HRH) so much so that when he barely touched his face with his palm that was deemed to be the first royal salute. It maybe a Royal salute for tabloids but its a big Facepalm to British media. Luis Suarez and Wayne Rooney like this status update already !!
This royal birth took British media by storm in terms of both coverage and revenue. Alistar Cook and his English teams cricket exploits were sent packing to the less lucrative middle pages and one off interviews. Rugby Lions also received a similar fate. Russel Brand found it disrespectful that his latest exploit wasn't taken notice off and he called it absolute 'Bollocks' !! Piers Morgan expecting such a change has already moved to Twitter fr his antics.
Well the baby was named as George Alexander Louis. The fans of Seinfeld actor Jason Alexander with his screen name as George Louis Costanza will be super proud. The sort of out of work actor atleast is remembered and is having his two moments of fame. The only hope is that this royal George doesn't look like this namesake George otherwise HRH will be seen more in anti baldness cream adverts of Telebrands. British betting sites like Ladbrokes & BetFred went into overtime to place bets for what will the name of HRH will be. Weirdly Messi as the name was a front runner too, cant blame UK if they want their own Messi. But somewhere I felt it was not thought off till the end. For a boy named George Alexander Louis will always have an acronym of GAL, its good that he owns half of UK otherwise this would mean lifetime bullying in school.
India was kind too in reception to the Royal baby. Either its the love for cute babies or just old attachments to colonialism by the British. All social networks were abuzz with the expectations, actual news of birth as well as post delivery overview. Ram Gopal Verma has announced to make a movie on the Royal birth saga and name it 'GAL ka birth'. Poonam Pandey and Sherlyn Chopra have already put their hand up for being George's girl friend and have promised they will maintain themselves with their Nasha & kheera respectively. Gourmet restaurants across India introduced a special 50% off on Fish n Chips to commemorate the royal birth.
Royal baby however has a rival across ocean in India, the very own Rahul Baba. This kid throws more tantrums than the royal baby will ever throw. Backed by his mother, baba is all set for ruling a democratic nation and need not stand in line behind individuals for his turn. Speaks a lot about British courtesy and Indian jugaadu approach. However one thing which is common is that both are darlings of the media, one way or the other.
But in all this buzz and chaos one particular individual is not taking it particularly well. You know who !!
