New Royal on the Way
BROWN: So will it be a prince or a princess? We are waiting to find out. That is what the world is wondering as we wait for the royal baby to be born in London. Taking a live look at the wing at St. Mary's Hospital where the duchess of Cambridge was brought in very early this morning. She went into labor more than 10 hours ago. Still a waiting game. Joining me now from Buckingham Palace is CNN royal commentator, Katie Nicholl. Hi, Katie. I can imagine there is no much excitement right now outside of Buckingham Palace. We know that William is by Kate's bed side. Do we know where the rest of the royal family is right now?</s>KATIE NICHOLL, CNN ROYAL COMMENTATOR: Well, the queen is in residence at Buckingham Palace. She swept through the gates about an hour ago now. Flurry of activity, police cars coming down the red gravel mall. I would imagine she is just as eagerly awaiting the news as the rest of us sitting by the telephone and waiting for the call. The duchess has been in labor for just coming up to over ten hours. It is a long time. It is incredibly hot here. The staff at the hospital second to none will be doing their very best to make sure the duchess is comfortable. William will be by her side helping to remind her of the breathing exercises they learned together and reminding her to keep calm. It is a regular day for Prince Harry. He will be kept abreast of the news by his brother. Prince Charles and Camilla are on an engagement. It is business as usual for the royal family. The person who will find out first is behind the gates in residence, Her Majesty, the queen of England.</s>BROWN: I am guessing this is not going to be a Facebook post.</s>NICHOLL: No, you're quite right. It won't be a Facebook post. Quite deliberately so where everything seems to be recorded on Twitter. This is going to be in keeping with tradition. There will be a glass easel placed at the gates of Buckingham Palace. On that will be the notice of birth signed by the gynecologist giving us the weight, sex and time of birth. The couple will announce the name when they come out on the steps of the hospital.</s>BROWN: Last question here. This baby will be third in line to the throne after Charles and William. Is there protocol for when the royal baby will make the first public appearance other than being carried out of the hospital?</s>NICHOLL: There is no real royal protocol. Diana brought Prince William out when he was just eight. Possibly the royal couple will bring their baby out sooner than that. There will be an official photo call. I think this is a couple that will want to have a degree of privacy for the time being. Don't expect to see too much once we have the official baby picture.</s>BROWN: Still waiting to find out if it is a boy or girl and to find out a name. Thank you so much. Katherine Jackson gets a little testy on the witness stand. She wants to know why her son, Michael, dIED. She is back on the stand when court resumes today.
