From the beginning, the world had watched with bated breath as the charming prince and his future bride overcame the struggles of university, rumours and a brief break-up before finally reconciling and becoming engaged. The royal wedding in 2011 - watched by an estimated 2 billion people worldwide - was a defining moment, not only in their young lives, but also for the perception of the monarchy. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge came to embody the spirit and hope of their nation, and their triumph truly brought the Royal Family into the 21st century.
Since the Palace announced the Duchess’s much-anticipated pregnancy in 2012, speculation went into overdrive surrounding the pitter-patter of tiny feet. The natural excitement of the birth of a future heir, combined with the historic possibility of the first baby to be born as a Queen-in-waiting, fuelled the frenzy surrounding what became the most talked about event of the year.
