Cot blanket, Roald Dahl classics and an apple tree on list as Kate Middleton and Prince William register birth of baby.
What do you get for the royal baby who has everything? Party leaders David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Ed Miliband have all revealed the gifts they sent after the arrival of William and Kate’s son, Prince George.
Clegg got the ball rolling after being pressed about it on LBC. He told listeners he had sent a pack of coffee to help the new parents cope with fatigue and an embroidered cot blanket made by Spanish nuns, which he bought on holiday in Spain last month.
Miliband and Cameron soon followed suit, the Daily Telegraph reports. The Prime Minister and his wife chose a selection of books by children’s author Roald Dahl. Labour leader Miliband sent a three-year-old apple tree, from London orchard project BEST – a traditional gift for a first born son.
Meanwhile, the Duke of Duchess of Cambrdige today formally registered the birth of Prince George.
It’s a birth certificate like no other, with the parents listing their occupations as – respectively - Prince and Princess of the United Kingdom. Their “usual address” is Kensington Palace, London.
Unlike other couples, there was no trip to the registry office. Westminster City Council’s superintendent Registrar Alison Cathcart travelled to Kensington Palace so Prince William could sign and fill in the birth register entry for his young son, the Daily Mirror notes.
On the certificate itself, Prince George’s full name is listed as His Royal Highness Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge. His parents’ full titles are given as Royal Highness Prince William Arthur Philip Louis, Duke of Cambridge and Catherine Elizabeth, Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge.
"The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have formally registered the birth of Prince George”, a royal spokesperson said. "The Duke of Cambridge signed the birth register at Kensington Palace this morning, witnessed by a Registrar from Westminster Register Office."
