wait to the great name debate. i m curious about the background. it seems calm behind you. have the crowds dispersed and people carrying about their regular day? reporter: people have stopped by to see the royal baby notice. we are expecting the changing of the guard, which is always a big tourist attraction. people are excited and interested in the story. as i said, all eyes on the lindo wing of st. mary s hospital for the baby photo-op. we are anxious to hear if prince william will speak or not. coming up on new day kate bolduan is live in london. she ll have the latest on the royal baby. a scary rough landing. the nose gear of a southwest airlines jet collapsed in landing at new york s laguardia airport. ten people injured. some taken to the hospital for
the rest of us here. will the queen get the first word or the parents of prince william and kate? well, royal protocol needs to be adhered to in situations like this. this is a modern couple and we ve seen them do things their own way but on royal birth certain guidelines need to be followed. prince william will make that first call upon the birth to the queen on especially encrypted telephone that goes to her secure line. she will be the first person to discover the sex, the weight and whether we re going to have a future queen or king. and then some sort of sign will be posted at buckingham palace announcing to the world whether it is a boy or a girl and what the name is? it will have the sex and it will have the weight of the baby, not we re told the name. that will be taken from the lindo wing signed from the obstetrician who delivered the baby and put in a glass easel, the same easel that was used to
