the upbringing of the duchess will impact the child? i don t know if the word commoner is used anymore. but in previous generations, that s what she would have been referred to. she is from a commoner family, so was diana and the queen mother. they were slightly more aristocrat i can. really, kate s childhood will have an impact. she grew up in a house where her mother was waiting at home when she came home from school, they were close-knit. we ve already seen the middletons playing a huge role in their life. the fact that they went there for christmas last year. christmas is the queen s occasion. william has been clear that he wants the middletons to be involved. he s close to them. he wants kate to feel supported. that s what diana didn t have. she didn t have a close-knit family, which is one of the reasons she felt slow so let down and alone. how much does the royal household have in determining
bill: tens of thousands are backing washington s guard to get a bloom, known as the corpse flower. it is 250 pounds. it gets its name because it attracts prey with indoor odor that resembles rotting flesh. the flower started blooming sunday. expected to collapse on itself. the garden s last corpse flower boom was six years ago. 2007. we get the rotting corpse over here. you get a fresh little baby, martha, there outside the hospital. martha: how about that, you never know, right? a lot of excitement continues behind us. the middletons are inside with their daughter. we do expect, we re hearing that prince charles will be coming. no word whether camilla will be with him. the excitement is sure to continue throughout the evening. we may get our first glimpse over the next several hours of the baby, bill. we ll let you know if it is named william george.
home, they ll be taken to their cottage in kensington palace and from there bring the baby in a car to buckingham palace. perhaps now not until thursday morning possibly. that s when the queen will meet her grand grandchild, the future king. we don t know his name yet. the future king of the united kingdom of the commonwealth. quite a moment that will be for everyone. they re not sure what kind of bowing he s going to do at this point. he still needs to work on the stability of his head at this point. i think the queens will allow a little deference. and, katie, there s another family involved in all of this. yes, the middletons. where are they? i m very surprised we haven t seen them yet. she s very close to them.
arbiter here as well. max, you have some new information with special visitors who just arrived at the hospital. yes, the first visitors, the grandparents, the middletons are in the hospital meeting their grandchild for the first time. we are expecting them to leave any moment now. there s a taxi braced for them. they came by public transport, and we re just waiting for them to come out. some speculation they may speak to the cameras. it s big moment for them action and no doubt we ll meet some family members as well. potential they could be appearing on the doorstep tonight. i think it s more likely it will happen today than tomorrow. and of course, the proud parents, i want to go to you now, victoria. there s been a lot of talk about what this baby s name will be, a lot of names being thrown out
to theme parks and really gave them a kind of modern childhood which certainly prince charles had never had or any royal child before. but of course it is going to be even harder for the child of kate and william because they will make tremendous efforts to circle that child in privacy, rigorous efforts. i think the press will be more compliant perhaps than they were with diana. but we also have the the era of the iphone camera and an era of absolute transparency on the internet. so it is going to be a very difficult thing to protect the child and it is going to be a full-scale sort of royal attempt to shield that child and at the same time keep that child unpampered and unpretentious. tina, what do you make of all the talk of the middletons and kate wanting to bring up this child in a very normal way without a nanny, without any kind of help. they are in this two bedroom cottage now on the skaestate at kensington palace and will move into that 20-room palace when it
