The birth of royal baby George Alexander Louis is giving people a reason to smile—Prince Harry even joked that he would charge his brother to babysit!
The royal birth represented an extraordinary moment in British history. It was the first time in more than 100 years that three future kings have been under the same roof, and the prince will be the forty-third monarch since the Norman Conquest in 1066.
msnbc contributor Imogen Lloyd Weber puts the significance of the Duke and Duchess’s baby into perspective, “The queen is still figurehead to 2 billion people—that’s a third of the world…This baby secures and symbolizes the future of the royal family for decades to come.”
