When H.R.H. Prince William and Miss Catherine Middleton met while studyingat the University of St Andrews in 2001, little didthey know that they would become the world's most popular bride and groom.

And now, onward to the next exciting step in a young couple's life-the arrival of their first-born. The announcement that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting a baby in July 2013 threw their adoring public into a frenzy, eager for the exact date andnews whether it will be a boy or a girl, and what its name will be. Either way, the royal infant will be third in line to the throne and its birth will be celebrated with all the ceremony befitting a new member of the Canadian Royal Family; and the first to usher in a new generation of royals for the 21st century.
