As you may have heard, Kate Middleton and Prince William have a new baby boy that will one day be the King of England. The world’s media has splashed the story across its front pages covering everything from the baby’s weight to the fact it’s a boy (there’s not much to go on).

The blogosphere, not to be left behind, has put its own spin on the new Prince’s arrival:

• An American Girl in Chelsea covers the story with a picture of the easel and a line about how exciting the birth was. The post includes predictions for the yet-to-be-announced name, though Cision’s favourite ‘Legoland’ isn’t one of them.

• Cornwall SEO joins the topic with ‘Killer Royal Baby Headline Ideas’ discussing both positive and negative linkbait headlines that can be associated with the birth. Of the suggestions, ‘10 Rappers and the cool things they say about the Royal Baby’ has got to work in any context.

• Liberal Conspiracy uses the royal birth as a context for discussions about the country’s future. What will the country be like when the boy is king? The post says: ‘He will likely begin his reign in the last decades of the twenty-first century’, a useful marker for discussing the next one hundred years.

• BritMums discusses the positivity of the event and how it, ‘enabled many of us to channel our synchronised happiness’. It is also a chance to, ‘live (or relive) our birth experiences vicariously through Kate’s.’ This is not the end of BritMum’s coverage with the promise of more posts to come.

• WJ London uses the story to discuss the possibility of a monarchy-free Britain.

• And finally, for something slightly different, Anna Chen has written a poem about the new baby titled, ‘Eating Placenta: lines on the royal birth’.
