  英国王室7月24日正式公布了近日出生的小王子的名字——乔治·亚历山大·路易斯,这位英国王位第三顺位继承人将被称作剑桥乔治王子殿下。
  这必将是又一个传奇宝宝。那么,皇室宝宝的出生和成长又会有什么特别之处呢?
  出生——华丽的亮相
  北京时间7月23日,小王子在位于伦敦派丁顿的圣玛丽医院降临人间。“王室宝宝”降生的消息传出后,英国首都伦敦不少地标性建筑亮起蓝色照明灯,以烘托氛围。英国王室乘骑炮兵团在伦敦海德公园鸣41响礼炮,荣誉炮兵连在伦敦塔鸣炮62响,庆祝王室添丁。
  在圣玛丽医院林多豪华私人院区生产的人,入住一晚要付6265英镑(约合58000元人民币),续住的话每晚价格为2200英镑(约合20500元人民币)。豪华产房的每个房间都有卫星电视、无线网络、收音机和保险箱。院方每天都会送来鲜花,遮光窗帘绝对保障隐,妇科医生、小儿科医师、助产士、护理人员、母乳咨询顾问和保姆一应俱全。林多院区1937年正式营运,黛安娜王妃当年就是在这里生下了威廉和哈里王子。另外,在凯特王妃待产期间,英国王室曾租用私人直升机待命,一旦凯特感觉有生产迹象,她的私人秘书会立刻用密电通知医院,威廉王子会在接到通知后,第一时间乘坐直升机从肯辛顿宫奔向凯特身边。
  成长——力争平民化
  与接近剑桥公爵夫妇的任何一位王室助手交谈,他们都会告诉你,他们夫妇已下定决心尽可能地让他们的第一个孩子像普通孩子一样成长。
  结婚以来一直走亲民路线的威廉和凯特,在生孩子这一点上也不例外。据悉,他们打算尽可能让孩子过上普通人的生活,当然,这也是相对的。凯特愿意当个全职妈妈。她计划打破王室雇佣全职保姆的传统,做一个亲力亲为的母亲,就像戴安娜那样。但是在生产之后的几个星期,她还是会雇佣保姆,或者和她妈妈住在700万美元的巴克伯里庄园里。
  凯特的母亲卡罗尔也将亲自帮忙,此前她就陪同凯特一起购物,买了婴儿篮、婴儿车和婴儿用的车座椅。妹妹皮帕透露,她提议届时仿照美国风俗,给新生儿开个洗礼派对,但凯特拒绝了。“她不想弄得闹哄哄的。”皮帕说。
  居所——舒适而温馨
  刚刚生产完的凯特和威廉住在肯辛顿宫只有两间卧室的诺丁汉小别墅里,他们准备了一间小小的婴儿房,凯特觉得没必要为此大手大脚,尤其是小王子并不会待在婴儿房太长时间。婴儿降生后宝贵的第一周,凯特还让孩子睡在他们夫妻俩的卧室里。位于美国洛杉矶比弗利山庄的一家专营高级婴儿用品的商店将威廉夫妇选购的婴儿房装饰用品向媒体展示。充满了童趣和梦幻色彩的房间里摆满了泰迪熊和各式婴儿玩具,看起来十分温馨。据店主说,威廉夫妇选购的一张婴儿床价格高达9000美元。
  不过,等小王子稍微长大一点之后,他就会随父母入住肯辛顿宫的1A别墅。那里拥有一座大大的花园,由其前任主人玛格丽特公主建造,相当适合孩子玩耍。肯辛顿宫始建于1605年,里面的家具陈设都很古老,威廉和凯特将会为这里带来更多现代风格的家具,以使自己和孩子能住得更舒适,让那里更像一个温馨的家。据称,别墅里特地预留了一名看护及一间保姆的房间。虽然不需要太多的看护和仆从,小王子的人生旅程依然会在精心照料下开始。
  教育——结合现代的方式
  相比王室家族的古老与守旧,在宝宝的教育问题上,威廉夫妇可能采取一种更加现代的做法,他们希望自己的孩子能普通平凡而脚踏实地地长大成人。与此前受到传统和先例约束的王室父母不同,威廉和凯特在做出选择之前,将会考虑孩子的愿望、学习能力以及朋友圈子。如果年轻的剑桥王子拥有聪明的头脑和高贵的血统,伊顿公学将是一个极佳的选择。同样,温切斯特公学和哈罗公学也是很好的选择。小王子也有可能入读惠灵顿公学,这是与军方有着紧密联系的英国主要男女同校的学校之一,或者就读凯特的母校莫尔伯勒学校。
  至于幼儿园,在肯辛顿宫附近小王子将有很多选择,包括位于附近诺丁山的高端幼儿园。之后他可能会去同样位于诺丁山的韦瑟比,戴安娜王妃曾经常送威廉王子和哈里王子去这所学龄前学校。
  继位——《王位继承法》告别“重男轻女”
  英国1701年颁布的《王位继承法》规定,同为英王子女,不论年龄大小,男性排位先于女性。若长子亡故,王位由其后嗣继承。英王如无子女,王位由其弟继承。在这个继承法中,女性继承王位只是一个无奈的选择。而现任的女王陛下是因为其父无男嗣,其伯父又早已放弃王位,她才成为女王。
  奉英国女王伊丽莎白二世为国家元首的16国领袖,在2011年10月28日无异议通过修改英国王位继承法。英国君王的子女将享有平等的王位继承权;这也就意味着,即使不是小王子,而是个小公主,将来也可继承王位。
  王室宝宝的到来,意味着他可以成为英国王位的第三顺位继承人,原来排在第三位的哈里王子降至第四位。近日,等了60年的老王储查尔斯身陷逃税丑闻,似乎坚定了女王隔代传位给孙子威廉的决心。刚刚出世的小王子是否会荣升为新王储?让更多人拭目以待。
  On 24th July, the British Royal family announced the name of the new-born baby prince as George Alexander Louis. The third in line to the Crown will be formally known as His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, a legendary baby in the making. What's special about the birth and upbringing of the royal baby?
  Birth-A Grand Appearance
  On July 23rd Beijing time, the baby prince was born at St Mary's Hospital at Paddington, London. In celebration of the royal birth, landmark architectures in the city were lit with blue lights, the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery staged 41 gun salutes at Hyde Park, and the Honorable Artillery Company carried out 62 ceremonial salutes from the Tower of London.   The Lindo wing at St Mary's Hospital is priced at 6,265 pound for the first night and 2,200 for each following night. The private facility is staffed with obstetric physicians, pediatricians, midwives, nurses, lactation consultants and nannies. Each of its luxurious delivery rooms is equipped with satellite TV, wireless connection, a radio, and a safe. Fresh flowers are served everyday and privacy is secured with sun-blocking curtains. The Lindo wing was opened in 1937. It was here that Princess Diana gave birth to Prince William and Prince Harry. In Kate's last hours of pregnancy, a high-speed helicopter was put on standby to rush Prince William from Kensington Palace to Kate's bedside at the first sign of delivery.
  Upbringing-Closer To Everyday Lifestyle
  If you talk to any royal assistant close to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, you will be told that they will raise their first-born like an ordinary child, or a reasonable approximation of it. Keeping a common touch since getting married, William and Kate apparently want remain the same in their child rearing. Kate looks to Princess Diana as a role model for breaking the royal tradition of hiring full-time nannies. She is ready to become a stay-at-home mom to take care of the baby herself. But for the first few weeks after delivery, she would still hire a nanny or stay with her mother at the family's $7 million Bucklebury manor where her mother Carol would be "hands-on". Before the birth, Carol had been sighted shopping with Kate for baby basket, stroller and car seat. Kate's sister Pippa proposed to follow American tradition in throwing a baby shower party, but Kate rejected the idea. “She does not want it to be too clamorous ", said Pippa.
  Nursery-Comfortable and Cozy
  After delivery, Kate lives with William in the two-bedroom Nottingham Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace, where they have a small nursery prepared. But it's modest, as Kate felt it wasn't worth the money to go all-out since the baby prince will not stay there for long. The baby will sleep by his parents' bedside for the first week. A top class baby shop at Beverly Hills, Los Angles disclosed to media the outfitting of the royal nursery. Full of Teddy Bears and other toys, the lovely baby room is decorated with fairy colors. According to the shop owner, William and Kate bought a 9,000-dollar bed for their baby. As the little prince grows up, he will move into apartment 1A in Kensington Palace with his parents, where there is a big garden, a perfect play ground for children, built by its former owner Princess Margaret. First built in 1605, Kensington Palace houses many pieces of antique furniture. But Kate and William will bring in modern ones to make it more comfortable. It is said two rooms have been reserved for a nurse and a nanny. Without too many nurses and servants, the little prince will still be taken good care of.   Education-With Modern Approach
  Kate and William may take a much modern approach to the baby's education as a departure from royal tradition. They hope their child could grow up to be an ordinary and down-to-earth person. Unlike former royal parents restrained by convention and precedence, Kate and William will consider the little prince’s will, capabilities and friends before deciding on his schooling. There is a wide choice of nursery schools around Kensington Palace, including top class nurseries near Notting Hill. Beyond nursery school, he could follow his father to attend Wetherby, where Princess Diana was often seen sending William and Harry to school. For high school, Eton College will be a perfect choice. Winchester College and Harrow School are also good alternatives. He may also attend Wellington College, a top coeducational school close with the military. Kate’s alma mater, Marlborough College is as well a choice.
  Succession-Succession to the Crown Act ends male primacy
  The debate surrounding the succession to the Crown never ceases to fascinate the public. The Act of Settlement passed in 1701 gives preference to male heirs over female regardless of age. Under the Act, the eldest son becomes the automatic heir, and if he dies, the crown goes to his descendents. If the King/Queen has no children, the Crown should be passed down to his/her brother. Female heirs are only considered when there is no other choice. Queen Elizabeth II took the throne only because her father had no son and her uncle gave up his rights to the throne.
  But this was changed on 28 October 2011 when the leaders of 16 Commonwealth countries unanimously passed an amendment to the Act of settlement, known as Succession to the Crown Act. The new Act ends male primacy and the disqualification of persons married to Catholic spouses in the succession to the Crown, which means, boy or girl, the royal baby of William and Kate will still replace Prince Harry to become the third in the line to the British throne.
