This weekend will mark 10 years since the birth of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s eldest child and future King Prince George – and when he arrived and had his birth registered, the occupations listed on his birth certificate were certainly unusual
Exactly 10 years ago, the world was struck with royal baby fever as the Prince and Princess of Wales eagerly awaited the birth of their first child.
And after what felt like weeks of waiting, the announcement finally came that the couple had welcomed a baby boy – a future King – who they later named George Alexander Louis and who turns 10 on Saturday.
But just because he is an heir to the throne, it did not mean Prince William and Kate could be excused from completing one important task like all other new parents. They too had to register Prince George’s birth and have a birth certificate issued for him as a matter of public record.
Like all other birth certificates, it features George’s full name, the date of his birth, where he was born – St Mary’s Hospital’s Lindo Wing – and who the informant was, which was dad Prince William.
