but william has become a complete expert on privacy law. the trouble is, it's not just the media anymore. he can tame the media, but y you've still got individuals. >> both his parents are used to the scrutiny. i think there is the structure and infrastructure around them all to be able to protect him to a certain extent. but sure, he's going to be in the limelight just like william was from an early age. >> they've not only got to do good works, they've got to be seen doing good works. otherwise the public thinks they're not doing anything and lazy. they need us, because other wise how would people know how wonderful they are? >> william and kate won't want for advice on how to bring up their little boy. they know every choice they make will be scrutinized. >> well, it ain't going to happen, but wouldn't it be great if the baby goes to the local comprehensive. >> the state school? >> well, yes. that would mean they really were taking a part in the ordinary life. >> the problem for the young royals might be seen as a management issue, how t

we heard them say that william has already changed his first nappy. we are not sure how much help they will get. there is a royal tradition of having nannies. but this very modern couple seems determined to be very hands-on and do most of that themselves. we have already seen william grappling with the car seat and taking charge, showing he is going to be a hands-on dad. it is going to be very interesting to watch how these , in ordinary circumstances but extraordinary circumstances at the same time, our managing life. and how will the new, as yet ?nnamed baby's life turn out >> they managed to be both regal and relatable. >> everybody you speak to seems to feel a real affinity with william and kate. however they have managed media and public relations up to this point, they have connected with a lot of people. i asked one person from a parenting magazine, do your readers really feel they have something common with this royal new family and she said yes, they do. everybody is fascinated to hear how kate is getting on, because this somehow does make th

kate is confident because she has the support of william, and he has the support of the royal family, who have learned from their mistakes. >> reporter: the duchess also has the advantage of age and maturity. she was nine years older than diana was on her wedding day. she's also five months older than william. diana was 13 years younger than prince charles. but despite their differences, the two women will inevitably continue to be compared, especially now. catherine and diana, both mothers to the future kings of england. randi kaye, cnn, new york. >> amazing to see it side by side like that. i want to explore it further with lana marks. thank you very much for being with us. you were a friend of the late princess diana. when you saw the royal couple today, what was your first reaction? >> my first reaction is how sad it was that diana wasn't here to share this wonderful, wonderful moment. she would have been so proud and overjoyed and befuddled. i know that she's here in spirit. >> she must -- as you said, she would be so extraordinarily proud about both -- how both of her sons have

prince william's wife has given fwoirj a baby boy. a town cryer made at announcement today. the boy born at 4:24 p.m. local time in a hospital in central london weighing eight pounds six ounces. the palace managed to keep the birth a secret several hours. well wishers still gathered outside kensington palace. a lot of excitement around the world. >> this is the first one that, where, the constitution changed so it was either whoever it was, girl or boy they're going to become monarch but it's a toyboy so it doesn't make a difference this time around. >> that was a san francisco tearoom visited today. mother and baby doing fine. prince william released a statement saying simply we cannot be happier. >> prince charles released a statement writing we're overjoyed and i'm proud and happy to be a grandfather. it could be a while before we know the name of the little prince. now, most popular names accord together english book maker are george, james, henry. the royal baby's title? take a look. his royal highness prince of camebridge. royal watchers say his nickname will be babyxi

other than the fact that they said he has lots of hair, and william says he has her lips. what did we miss? >> i didn't hear it all properly either. the one that i caught was he is a heavy boy. having followed william for some time, he was really, really pleased. kate looked really relaxed and completely natural. it was interesting to see how she came out with the baby in her arms, and william then took the baby from her and that would have been a choreographed move. it's not just his child or just her child, they are two very hands on parents. >> and max, how incredibly fitting for william and kate in that baby blue color, and the beautiful ring of her, all blue, all tied together for this moment. the royal baby making his first appearance. born around this time yesterday as you were live on our air, reporting the news. a healthy eight pound, six ounce boy. and we're seeing for the first time, this prince, saying hello to the world. now we wait because they go back inside, they grab the car seat, and then they hop back in and they're off to kensington palace. here they ar

in other people's lives. >> will william continue to serve as he has? what is it, i'm not sure the branch of the military he's in. >> it's with the search and rescue team. that's a very good question, and i'm told through sources at the palace, that we're to expect an announcement in a few week's time, possibly at the end of the summer, a lot of speculation that he is going to stand down. a lot is happening to that division of the raf. it's being privatized. that's not making william redundant, but it's changing his team and his fleet, this is seen an opportune moment to step down. you also need to look at the duke of edinboro and his ailing health. the queen is 87 and in robust health, but certainly scaling back. on the public engagements. is it time for william to stand down? is he a prince or a pilot? a lot of people would say he's a prince, and now is the time to get on with princely duty. >> mark, a lot of people compared kate to diana, obviously. kate has become very much her own woman. >> well, i said from the start that it was very unfair to do

has grown up in a castle or palace. she's sort of pretty normal really. >> kate brought william home to spend weekends with her parents in bucklebury. >> he loves going for dinner around the house and loves being part of something which is actually standard. >> and behind the walls of st. andrews, william could live like an ordinary student. >> i'd do my own shopping. i'd take away and rent videos, go to cinema, basically anything i wanted to really i can go to. >> i remember we walked out of the pub called ma bell's, which is where we went a lot. and we were quite drunk. and i think i saw a pellet gun on the floor, someone had discarded this sort of toy gun. so i picked it up and i start waving it around and he grabbed it out of my jacket pocket and he was like holding it in the air and suddenly, even in my drunk state i was like this is probably not a good idea. >> if william was wild, jules says kate was always in control. and by the spring of 2004, william was ready to introduce his girl friend to the world. >> if y

william has been there throughout the labor. he stayed in overnight. they'll put the baby in the car seat and drive off. whether he will drive or not that will be another sign this is a another hand's on couple. >> that will be amazing to see. we think that's where they are headed next, is that right? >> reporter: yeah, we're almost certain that's going to be the case. this is kensington palace, it's where the royal couple and their son will be living. there's hundreds of thousands of dollars that's been spent over the course of the past several months. also renovating the apartment. apartment number 1a which will the apartment where the royal couple will live. once they have left the hospital, we're hoping to see at some point very shortly. the expectation is they will come here by car and start their new lives together in this what will be their family home in london. >> i want to bring in kate williams. we've been following this for days now. it goes from one place to the other. what do we think will unfold at buckingham palace? it's official the ps

though william has never claimed any of the credit. >> i would say i'm getting better cooking. kate would say i'm getting a lot worse. >> i didn't give you enough chance to practice. >> that's true. i get quite lazy about cooking, because when i come back from work it's the last thing i want to do. but when i was trying to impress kate, i was trying to cook these fancy meals and would catch it on fire. she would be sitting in the background trying to take control of the situation. i was quite glad she was there at the time. >> as her pregnancy progressed, kate readied the nursery and the new apartment. she also kept an ambitious work schedule. >> i remember being at the national portrait gallery, thinking she should be tucked up in bed. but she was in heels giving a speech and meeting people from the art room. >> to john haley, it's not unusual. it's just kate. >> you know, she's not catherine, she's kate. we know her as kate. she still comes in and she's just herself. >> and even in her hometown, the baby became a source of great speculation. >> we've got an actual charity whe

. >>> britain's new prince has made his public debut. prince william and his wife, catheri catherine, gave people around the world a first glimpse of their new baby. they left a hospital in london to be met by a curious crowd. the duke and duchess of cambridge followed tradition by giving the first sight of the baby on the hospital steps. prince william made his first appearance that way. >> he is a big boy, quite heavy. we are still working on a name. >> the first time of any parent know what this feeling is like. >> very special. >> they also revealed that william performed the first nappy change. the family left for their home at kensington palace. >> yeah, we could see them really good. we were getting pushed and shoved towards the front. there were lots of people going crazy. it was great. >> check it out. amazing. >> the bells of westminster abbey rang out for more than three hours of celebration. the royal artillery fired a 41-gun salute at green park and at 62 rounds at the tower of london. the new prince is third in line to the

but in this case, i think william has learned enormously from his mother in terms of her attempts to at least have some semblance of normality in his life. and i think the fact that they stayed with princess katherine's parents for a long period towards the end of the pregnancy. the fact that the parents were the first to come and not prince charles and the duchess of cornwall, is an indication, i think, that william and katherine are shaping their future around the stability and normality of the middleton family. he's clearly extremely fond of them. they spent christmas last year together with the middleton family. of course, christmas in the united kingdom is a huge royal occasion. normally spent at the queen's estate where the family then attends church on christmas day. of course, prince william and then kate were not -- sorry, princess katherine were not there. they were with her family. so i think you're seeing attempts both in terms of the media management, the team that they've put together, and the way they're conducting themselves to try and normalize as best they can the l

within 44 seconds on tape, his majesty william has contradicted himself. first he said he's a very big boy, he's quite heavy and then he said years to come i'll remind him of his tininess. these are incongruous. and i'm concerned we're being fibbed to. >> i think you may be thrown off by william's accent there. >> i didn't understand one thing kate said. >> i think he said his tardiness because he followed up by saying i know you guys have been waiting out here a long time. so i think he said his tardiness as in he was late arriving. >> so there is no fib. >> there is no fib. i don't think prince william has ever or will ever fib in his life. >> one can be both big and tardy, one cannot be big and tiny. >> that's a live shot there of kensington palace. it's about a ten minute drive from st. mary's hospital to kensington palace. prince william was driving and they haven't shown up yet. i don't know what that says. but i'm worried. >> might have hit a drive through or something. >> maybe. >> i would guess they would have some sort of royal escort. >> one wou

william has something as a smiling hatred to the media. he does on some level believe they drove diana, his mother to her death. they were waiting a little bit and getting frustrated outside the wing. they would have enjoyed telling them -- let's remember this is a state event and you can see the amazing pictures outside buckingham palace, but this is a family event. kate and william spoke in their engagement interview in how they were looking forward to and hoping to have a family. william said he hoped to have two children. it is wonderful. and kate saying before she would love a son while william wanted a daughter. she has her son. we will see what happens with the second. baby watch two. you have to remember it is the primary role of the royal wife to deliver an heir and a spare as quickly as possible. kate is halfway there. >> an heir and a spare. the baby weighs eight pounds and six ounces and the duke of cambridge was present for the birth. the queen and the duke and duchess of cornwall and prince harry and members of both families

. >> the french government has informed all of us that princess diana has died. >> a high-speed pursuit by the paparazzi and a fatal crash in a paris tunnel that killed princess diana, taking william's mother from him at the age of 15. >> he's at that quite difficult transition stage, an adolescent, a boy going into manhood and not to have his mother there, the person who he could always count on, who he absolutely adored i think is a loss that he will feel forever. >> after the very public funeral, william withdrew. and not long after the palace and the press forged an unspoken agreement, giving both william and harry space and privacy. the world got quick glimpses, though all carefully choreographed by the palace. so william grew up and quietly began dating. >> he began dating some of the more beautiful titled ladies. he tried an online romance with britney spears at one point that never really got off the ground. >> but playful young romances aside, william knew that finding a mate would be serious business. he'd have to find a woman willing to put up with the relentless scrutiny. an

but she has prince william at her side, being very protective and helpful. >> and he has a good relationship with his grandmother? >> he has a great relationship with his grandmother. but he is strict in protecting his wife and making sure she is happy. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> now to the hot button issue. do you expect the paparazzi to hound kate like they hounded princess diana? yes or no? vote in our poll. >>> and a terrifying scene at new york's busy la guardia airport tonight. you are looking at live pictures. nose gear of southwest airlines collapse during landing. the plan just arrived from nashville and tonight a port authority spokesperson saying, a wheel popped off the landing gear after landing. now 150 people aboard evacuated. ten people received minor injuries and ntsb is sending an investigator to the scene immediately. if you are traveling to note, expect delays at la guardia or flights originating from la guardia. stay tuned for the very latest on this breaking news. >>> straight ahead, much more on the historic birth of the royal heir. is kate ae style differ

and prince william has done the same. he, by the way, has been said to want to be in the delivery room when his wife goes through labor. prince charles was there when princess diana gave birth, but prince philip was famously playing squash when charles was born. and then the store goes that he famous lehigh taled it back -- famously high taled it back to get her flowers and champagne. it will be the queen and prince philip's third great grandchild and they will be expecting a fourth great grandchild in the new year. a bit of news that was lost in the shuffle. the famous equestrian talent who is princess anne's daughter announced she too is pregnant. >> babies everywhere. >> there is something in the water over there. >> amy kellogg, thank you very much. >> everyone loves kate. she is so beautiful and classy and classic. >> she is elegant, but she is the commoner. she is the ultimate fairy tale. she landed herself a prince. >> she surely did. >>> coming up, a landmark piece of legislation turns three years old tomorrow as

now that william has a new baby, how does the line of succession run? after the new baby it's prince harry in line and then prince andrew next. and after him, his two daughters with sarah ferguson. they jumped ahead of uncle edward and of course aunt anne. by the way, eventually, after anne, all the way down in line, there are 30 other royals, all ready for the throne, ending with the queen's first cousin. >>> now i want to bring in patrick jephson, former chief of staff to princess diana, joins me now. it's great to have you here. all day long we've been looking back at this time capsule. to everyone saying it's strange to be born into a predetermined life in the year 2013, you say? >> well, it's strange if you are used to the lives of celebrities for example. there is this tendency to treat the royal family, particularly on occasions like this, as some kind of branch of the entertainment industry. it's not. this little baby is growing up to a life like no other. this is going to be a life of service, of duty, of sacrifice. >> this is the first half co
