On Monday morning, while I was having a swim before yoga, the Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to her third baby, a little boy. I have been teased by various friends for being a bit of a monarchist, and I suppose I am. I think that Britain would be duller without the royal family, and I also like the idea of their own history being linked so directly with the history of the country, going back for many centuries. The Duchess of Cambridge appeared with the baby on the hospital steps only about seven hours later, looking absolutely fantastic and with no sign of the swollen ankles that I used to sport at the end of my pregnancies. Although to be fair, my ankles are not my best feature at any time!
Having three babies changes your life. You and your husband are outnumbered by your progeny. It’s really hard work and you worry about giving them all enough attention. And then somehow they grow up to be funny, strong, amazing young people. And it’s all worth it!
