Nasce o primeiro filho dos Duques de Cambridge / The first child of the Dukes of Cambridge was born

Foi talvez o bebé mais esperado de todos os tempos. Não concordo e não participei em toda a loucura inerente a este nascimento, mas a verdade é que ao fim de 22 dias de grande expectativa à porta do St. Mary´s Hospital, em Londres, nasceu por fim o futuro soberano do Reino Unido.

It was perhaps the most anticipated baby of all time. I do not agree and did not participate in all the madness inherent in this birth, but the truth is that after 22 days of high expectations at the door of St. Mary's Hospital, London, it was born, at last,  the future sovereign of the United Kingdom.

E é um menino!!!
And that´s a boy!!!

A informação foi confirmada pela Clarence House e o comunicado oficial pode ser visto aqui. A Duquesa terá viajado de carro com o marido, o Príncipe William desde o Palácio de Kensignton até ao Hospital e terá entrado por uma das entradas secundárias do edifício, a Entrada Mary Stanford.

The information was confirmed by Clarence House and the official press release can be viewed here. The Duchess will have traveled by car with her husband, Prince William from Kensington Palace to the Hospital and will be entered for one of the secondary entrances of the building, the Mary Stanford Entrance.

O Príncipe de Gales, avô pela primeira vez, também emitiu um comunicado em seu nome e da esposa, a Duquesa da Cornualha, a expressar a sua alegria com o nascimento do pequeno príncipe.

The Prince of Wales, grandfather for the first time, also issued a statement on his behalf and his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, to express their joy at the birth of the little prince.

“Both my wife and I are overjoyed at the arrival of my first grandchild. It is an incredibly special moment for William and Catherine and we are so thrilled for them on the birth of their baby boy. 

"Grandparenthood is a unique moment in anyone’s life, as countless kind people have told me in recent months, so I am enormously proud and happy to be a grandfather for the first time and we are eagerly looking forward to seeing the baby in the near future.”

O anúncio só foi feito sensivelmente 4 horas depois do nascimento. Ao que tudo indica os Duques quiseram passar alguns momentos sozinhos com o filho recém-nascido, e avisar ambas as famílias com calma, antes de divulgar o anúncio oficial.

The announcement was only made roughly four hours after the birth. Apparently the Dukes wanted to spend a few moments alone with their ​​newborn son, and warn both families calmly, before disclosing the official announcement.

Como tradição, foi afixado um boletim nos portões do Palácio de Buckingham com a informação do hora do nascimento, sexo e peso do bebé, assinado pelos membros do staff médico.

As a tradition, a bulletin was posted on the gates of Buckingham Palace with the information of the time of birth, sex and weight of the baby, signed by members of the medical staff.

Resta-nos aguardar pelo nome. Estou oficialmente com medo, porque as hipóteses mais faladas (George, James, Albert...) não me agradam de todo. Gostava de Arthur, segundo nome de William e nome do meu favorito Rei (se é que ele existiu...).

It remains to wait for the name. I'm officially scared because the assumptions most spoken (George, James, Albert ...) I do not like themat all. I like Arthur, William's second name and the name of my favorite british King (if he existed ...)

Bem-vindo Príncipe de  Cambridge!!!

Welcome Prince of Cambridge!!
