Royal Babies
They inhale their first breath to a resounding twenty-one gun salute. Within a few days, their tiny faces appear in every magazine and newspaper. Their christenings are grand occasions. Stamps, coins and postcards are issued to commemorate these events. Yet they sleep, unaware of the pomp and splendour of the occasion.
*If you have information or pictures of royal births that you wish to share with us, please feel free to PM an administrator or supermoderator. Last edited by Mandy; 03-31-2005 at 06:02 PM. |
