When Will Everyone Stop Talking About The Royal Baby?

Or rather, when will I stop talking about the royal baby?

In my defence, Prince George (Or Baby George, or His Royal Highness, Prince George (Alexander Louis) of Cambridge, or whatever you want to call him) is not even a week old. I've spent more time than a week talking about the Catching Fire trailer or how I once nearly got full in a Maths exam. Compared to those things, the birth of the heir to the throne who will someday marry someone who is prettier and has better dress sense than his mother is a pretty big deal. I should get to talk about it for a month. At least.

On YouTube, which I transitioned to once Prince George had been born, and shown to the public, and named, and then hidden away, Maureen Johnson made her video as the last person filling in for John Green during his nearly two month long paternity leave, which is a rather unfair amount of time seeing as Prince William only gets two weeks and the child which he is going to help bring up during that time will someday be King.

Oh, this just struck me! What if Alice Green marries Prince George and becomes his consort? They're the right age for each other, even!
I ship it.

Reverting to what I was writing about, my favourite of the people making videos for John was Craig WheezyWaiter, whose video you can view here. Also, One Direction released the music video for their new single, which I watched repeatedly on Wednesday and Thursday before getting bored of it and wondering why they were already making a movie about the band, seeing as it hadn't even been around four five years and there was no way to know whether it would even survive that long, let alone a movie with the same name as a Backstreet Boys album (I didn't know that. I found out when I Googled it).

Which got me thinking about whether they'd make a movie about Prince George. They already have one about the Queen, appropriately titled "The Queen" and one about young Queen Victoria and one about William and Kate (Actually, two about William and Kate). And if they don't make a movie, I hope that Prince George meets the press as soon as he can stand. Sometimes, I watch William meeting the press as a child, and it always makes me happy. Always.

For some reason, I'm continuing to call Prince George Prince George. It must be because he's still new. In a few weeks, it'll be plain ol' George, just like his parents,Will and Kate.

Here's the future King for you.

A Post About The Royal Baby Boy

And if you hadn't guessed that already, you, sir or madam, are an idiot.

As is common knowledge, yesterday the Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to a baby boy, HRH Prince {Name} of Cambridge. Now, I could tell you about when said baby was born (4:24 pm) or how much said baby weighed (8lb, 6oz), but if you had wanted that kind of information, you would have gone to his Wikipedia page (That's right. When he was only a few hours old, the Baby of Cambridge got a Wikipedia page). But I also can't not write a blog post to commemorate the occasion because, really, I've written posts about all sorts of nonsense.

Almost everyone who knows me will know that whenever I need a dose of royal fun, I go to the Order of Splendor. But throughout this royal gestation, I got my laughs from a most unexpected source. Suri Cruise, or rather her ghost writer who maintains Suri's Burn Book, seems to hate the new Prince, and her hatred results in the most comic posts, tagged 'hrh the baby of cambridge'. I could just never stop laughing.

There was another rather surprising source of fun during the royal labour: Maureen Johnson.
I love Maureen Johnson, normally. She's funny and witty and absolutely nuts, and she always seems to have the strangest things happen to her. Notes from a neighbour is evidence of that. But yesterday, she went all out on Twitter, tweeting about Phil Collins, spiders, the Duke of Edinburgh brawling, and Benedict Cumberbatch naked on a horse. God bless Maureen Johnson. I can't wait for her video on the Vlogbrother's channel.

And it wasn't just Maureen Johnson that was being amusing on Twitter. I found everything that everyone said that was even vaguely connected to the royal baby extremely hilarious - even the jokes that were repeated over and over again, like the ones about him being a Half-Blood Prince and people hoping for a Pride Rock like introduction to the public. This was quite possibly because I was slightly hysterical at the time. I favourited all of them. Here are some memorable ones.







Now have a good rest of the week before I ruin it on Saturday.

UPDATE: It's William and Kate and little Baby Cambridge!



Oh, it's been so long since I've seen Kate. Is is just me or does she look prettiest when she's leaving a hospital?
