The British tabloid press is still burning with Princess Catherine and Prince George fever. Through their spokesperson, the princely couple refused to report on the details of the birth, it is a deeply personal matter that belongs to no one else, they said.

However, the British press workers moved every stone to find out anything, but no one involved said a single word. It seems certain that Katalin was in labor for 11 hours, during which she did not ask for strong painkillers - according to British hospital customs, they probably helped her with laughing gas at most. The duchess was very calm throughout, everything went smoothly and according to plan. There was no nervousness, excitement or emergency.

The birth was supervised by a seven-member medical team, four midwives, two obstetricians, and a neonatologist. With the exception of the midwives, the team waited in an adjacent room. Three midwives were already available in 8-hour shifts assigned much earlier, which would have been necessary if the princess went into premature labor. The team's leading obstetrician-gynecologist, Marcus Setchell, postponed his retirement at the request of the royal family so that he could still supervise the birth of the heir to the throne.

The medical staff were completely moved by the peaceful, harmonious duo of Catherine and the newborn heir to the throne, and Vilmos' quiet support - which they could see from an adjacent room separated by a glass wall.

The name misery

After they had to wait a month for the name of Prince Károly and a week for Vilmos, Katalin and Vilmos only had to wait a day. In choosing the name, the royal family presumably took into account what people would have liked, two of the three most expected names (George, James, Alexander) were included in the baby's actual name. The heir to the throne is called in Hungarian as: His Royal Highness György Sándor Lajos Duke of Cambridge. And in English: His Royal Highness (HRH) Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge.

György is the father of Queen Elizabeth VI. They pay tribute to György, who ruled between 1936 and 1952, and the movie The King's Speech is about him. The first king under this name, the German-born George I, ascended the throne in 1714. George is also a very patriotic choice, Saint George - who defeated the dragon - is the patron saint of England.

The meaning of the name Sándor (Alexander) is "protector of the people". Lajos means "famous warrior", this name was chosen because of the uncle of Prince Philip (the Queen's husband), who was Prince Charles' mentor, he was killed in an IRA attack in 1979.

Three pairs of godparents

Prince George's christening will take place when he is about six weeks old, according to preliminary expectations, in the Music Hall of Buckingham Palace, the same place where William and Charles were baptized. We also wrote about the dress before, it will be an exact copy of the satin and lace dress that was made for Queen Victoria's eldest daughter and that was used by the royal family since 1841, but a few years ago, in order to protect it, it was retired and replaced with a copy.

The heir to the throne has three godmothers and three godfathers. It is almost certain that Katalin's sister Pippa and Vilmos' younger brother Harry will be among them. According to speculation, Vilmos' close friend and former schoolmate Tom van Straubanzee and Katalin's college friend Alice St. John Webster are also among the chosen ones.

The polka dot dress and the white lace scarf

Princess Katalin's super-pretty, blue, polka dot dress, in which the work of designer Jenny Packham appeared in public for the first time as a mother. The designer's website crashed after the first pictures appeared, and crowds tried to buy the same dress. However, they were not lucky, this piece was made especially for Katalin, it is not part of the "public" collection. The designer was asked if she had a pink polka dot piece ready in case the heir to the throne was a girl - but she flatly refused to comment. In addition to the Dívány article linked above, the Huffington Post also gave a large compilation of tips on where to buy something similar if you fell in love with the light blue dress with small dots.

The baby was presented to the world wrapped in a £45 GH Hurt & Son Ltd scarf, the approximately HUF 15,500 piece made of merino wool is very similar to the one in which Diana showed Vilmos in 1982, and of course immediately became a hit changed, can now only be ordered with a delivery time of several weeks.

Prince Harry will teach him to have fun

As a new uncle, Prince Harry could not avoid questions about the newborn. He said: when they first met, the baby was crying. Harry wants to make sure his nephew is brought up right so he doesn't get into trouble, and he'll also teach him to have fun - he'll have no trouble doing that.

The rest will be up to the parents, added Harry, who also joked that he hoped his brother was aware of how much he would have to pay for babysitting. However, according to him, the newest family member is still too small to be able to tell who he will resemble.
