A New Generation of Canadian Royalty

When H.R.H. Prince William and Miss Catherine Middleton met while studying at the University of St. Andrews in 2001, little did they know that they would become the world's most popular bride and groom. Indeed, their runaway popularity was confirmed when thousands of people filled the streets of London and millions tuned in to watch their wedding on April 29, 2011.

And now, onward to the next exciting step in a young couple's life - the arrival of their firstborn. The announcement that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting a baby in July2013 threw their adoring public into a frenzy, eager for the exact date and news whether it will be a boy or a girl, and what its name willbe. Either way, the royal infant will be third in line tothe throne and its birth will be celebrated with all the ceremony befitting a new member of the Canadian Royal Family; and the first to usher in a new generation of royals for the 21st century.

Yet, as all the pageantry unfolds around the young family, one can be certain the new parents will be focused on much greater things - showering their little one with adoring love, peering endlessly into its sweet and precious face, watching every new smile and movement with awe. No doubt, the Duke and Duchess will be feeling the enormity of emotion of becoming a parent. Nothing on Earth can prepare a mother or father for the utter devotion they feel to nurture,love and protect their child. It is beyond description; an emotion that has to be experienced to be understood. Parenthood is a vast, expansive place of true magic; where the complexities and uncertainties of adulthood melt away under the joyful unfolding of new life.
