Today’s Mail royal baby special includes an inevitable comparison piece on the pregnant Kate and Princess Diana. Under a page 9 headline (yep, it’s the first 14 pages) Oh what a contrast, it looks at how time have changed so dramatically for a expectant mother of a future heir.
It’s a pity their tabloid rivals didn’t follow their lead,
with cliché after cliché cribbed from 30 years ago, according to the faded cuttings
from the days when Yours Truly was doorstepping the Princess of Wales.
Ma’am’s the word,
said the Mirror (it was a secret from the Queen we’re told, unlike the last time
when Mum was just keeping tight-lipped).
Prince and Princess of Wails was another corker to vie with the Sun’s Nappy
and glorious, tucked a few pages back from the inevitable Kate expectations.
If I get a moment, I’ll dig out William’s birth ones so we
can see what to expect in nine months’ time.
One idea that was new was a quirky PS piece at the foot of
the Sun’s Page 3: Headlined, What the baby will look like, their “graphics
experts” came up with a boy and a girl after studying pictures of the couple.Just hope it’s not a boy. So will you if you follow this link and scroll down a bit.
