ROYAL FEVER
It’s interesting, British people love their traditions and especially the Royal Family. I’m surprised by the fact they have low percent of republicans, exactly the
opposite of Spain.
This
weekend born Princess Charlotte, the second daughter of the Duke and
Duchess of Cambridge, was born. Despite not being the heir, this birth has been
completely exciting to Londoners who have been forming a queue across from the
hospital since the duchess’s due date. It’s amazing to see how
cheerful they are.
Also, British people have been making a bet about how the prince or princess would be called,
but until today we haven’t found out the whole name; because as in all the European monarchies the royal baby must have at least three names. So our newly born
princess is named Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, a meaningful name, Charlotte,
female form of Charles, honouring her grandfather the Prince of Wales,
Elizabeth honouring The Queen Elizabeth II and Diana in
order to pay tribute to Princess Diana, the beloved mother of Prince William
and still the Queen of hearts.
The name of the
princess isn't official until the Queen has checked it and when the Queen
has definitely examined it, then the royal emissary announces it to the crowds
near the hospital, also at the same time an announcement is put up on a easel located
in the fence of Buckingham Palace.
Though these
days we have had some remarkable images like Prince George visiting with his
father his little sister, trying to imitate his father ‘s wave to the crowds and
the first visit of both families.
London turns pink for
newborn princess, when the birth is announced the city lights turn blue/pink, for this occassion pink. Some monuments like the London Eye, Tower Bridge and
Trafalgar square fountains were flooded with pink light. But it wasn’t just in
London where the news of William and Kate ‘s new arrival was celebrated with colorful pink lights, Belfast also had a rosy glow.
In conclusion, these
days have been an unforgettable experience as was mine when Prince George was
born on summer of 2013.
