:03:49. > :03:54.them coming. In there's no denying this baby has a big role ahead of

:03:54. > :03:55.him. How will his life compare to Royal babies of the past? We have

:03:55. > :04:05.been following the Royal Family tree.

:04:05. > :04:09.The birth of a Royal baby has always been a huge moment for the country.

:04:09. > :04:12.The Duchess was safely delivered of a Prince...

:04:12. > :04:16.A lot has changed since Prince Charles was born. Back then the

:04:16. > :04:20.announcement of a Royal baby was very formal. By the time Prince

:04:20. > :04:23.William came along things were a bit more relaxed.

:04:23. > :04:27.Prince William's upbringing was seen as less traditional than other

:04:27. > :04:31.Royals of the past. When the Queen was little Royal babies were mostly

:04:31. > :04:35.looked after by nannies but it's thought William and Kate want to be

:04:35. > :04:41.very involved with their baby. They'll enjoy quite a normal family

:04:41. > :04:45.life. Albeit one that obviously is taking place in a Royal setting.

:04:45. > :04:48.They'll make it as private as possible and as ordinary as

:04:48. > :04:53.possible. As normal as possible for the new boy. He will live with his

:04:53. > :04:57.mum and dad at the new flat in Kensington Palace, like William did

:04:57. > :05:00.as a child. And he is expected to be christened by the Archbishop of

:05:00. > :05:06.Canterbury in a private ceremony. The baby will have a lot of media

:05:06. > :05:09.interest in his life right from the beginning. But the Duke and Duchess

:05:09. > :05:12.will want to protect their son as much as they can. As part of the

:05:12. > :05:18.Royal Family the new Prince will have certain duties as he grows up.

:05:18. > :05:23.He will of course have to be prepared to some day be King.

:05:23. > :05:27.Thank you very much, Martin. Before we go we have a Royal baby challenge

:05:27. > :05:33.for you. We don't just want messages, we also want your designs.

:05:33. > :05:40.We want you to draw a buggy fit for a future King or Queen. Send it in

:05:40. > :05:43.and we have already had a go. Look at this. It's a carriage-buggy being

:05:43. > :05:48.pulled by a small horse and balloons attached. Looks beautiful.
