William and Kate, the Dutch and Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to their daughter at 08:34 BST on Saturday, 2nd May at St Mary's Hospital in London and she weighed 8lbs 3oz. The princess is fourth in line to the throne and bookmakers claim that Charlotte and Alice are the favourite names for her, followed by Olivia, Victoria and Elizabeth. William and Kate have spent the first night with their baby at Kensington Palace and they will spend the next few days there.
Of course, this is a huge event which represents England as a place with great national pride, with almost all of the UK's national newspapers dedicating the entire front pages of their Sunday editions to the birth of the new princess. Additionally, Tower Bridge was among several London landmarks such as the London Eye and Trafalgar Square's fountains that lit up pink in the princess' honour.
Party leaders also offered their congratulations regarding the birth of the princess and these can be seen in the video below:
How I feel about the news article:
I feel this is a very good story to represent how much pride England has as a Nation because it is clearly seen as very important by the media, with it taking up the front pages of nearly all newspapers. Even with the election coming up very soon, the politicians took time out to express their happiness for William and Kate which again enhances the idea of National pride but I also think that the politicians are trying to gain as much support from the public as possible and by congratulating the birth, they are helping people to warm to them.
