Mazel Tov: Jewish Stars Talk Royal Baby
By Anne Cohen July 22, 2013
Royal baby frenzy is in full swing as the British — and for some reason, everyone else on the planet — await the birth of the future heir to the throne.
If you manage to pry your eyes away from the live baby cam that The Telegraph has pointed at the doors of Saint Mary’s Hospital where Kate Middleton is reportedly in labor (in the hopes that sheer eagerness will force them to burst open, perhaps?), here is what Hollywood had to say about the impending birth.
UPDATE: IT’S A BOY!
So pleased to hear that William and Kate had a baby boy. Long live the future king. MBB

I mean now you almost have to name the baby “#RoyalBaby“. Hashtag and everything.

When’s the bris?

Congratulations to Kate & William on the birth of their baby boy! So relieved that his name won’t include the words Ivy or Apple.

8lbs 6oz. Interesting that babies are always in imperial units not metric…

Meanwhile, during #BabyWatch…
If the #RoyalBaby is a girl, I’m putting the name ‘Michelle’ into the mix. #MichelleObamaWouldApproveToo.

Labour has never been so popular. My guess is that it will be a baby.

I too had a royal baby this morning, after my morning coffee.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a Passover gift today!
