11 Adorable Photos of Royal Babies

As my nana says, “nothing beats new life!”

What’s cuter than perusing photos of  little royal whipper snappers throughout history who had no clue about their standing in this great big world.

These kids exude the whole “zero f**** give” mantra better than anyone I’ve ever met.

Prior to Princess Charlotte’s birth on May 2nd, 2015, several media outlets claimed that not nearly as much attention would be paid to the royal birth this time around.

Nothing could be further from the truth, as the nation was thrilled to welcome a girl on May 2nd.

In fact, an article from People Magazine published just after Harry’s birth in 1984 negated all talk of a more subdued welcome for the spare:

“Although it’s unlikely that little Harry will ever rule the kingdom, his birth was anything but anticlimactic. In fact, it was greeted with as much fanfare as William’s, no doubt due to his mother’s unflagging popularity.”

According to the BBC, royal births are traditionally celebrated with a “41-gun salute by the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery. The basic royal salute is 21 rounds, but because it will be conducted in Green Park, a royal park, an extra 20 rounds are fired. At the Tower of London, 62 rounds will be fired – the basic 21, 20 because the Tower is a Royal Palace and 21 for the “city of London”.

Union jacks will also be flown from all Government buildings, Royal Naval ships, and defence establishments.”

The Monarchy’s page states that royal gun salutes are fired as a “sign of respect or welcome.”
