Royal baby news: Kate Middleton registers Prince George's birth - giving her occupation as "Princess of the United Kingdom"

New parents: Kate and William welcomed baby George last week

Baby George was officially registered as a member of the Royal Family yesterday – with his mum’s “occupation” given as princess rather than duchess.
The formalities of recording his birth were taken care of by his dad, the Duke of Cambridge.
But the reference to Kate as a princess is unusual, as she rarely uses the title Princess William of Wales, which she took when she married in 2011.
She generally sticks to Duchess of Cambridge for royal engagements. But sources say she was probably listed as princess on the birth certificate because it is the more senior title.

Unsurprisingly, Wills, 31, did not have to queue with other parents at Westminster register office to complete the paperwork for their first child.
Instead registrar Alison Cathcart travelled to Kensington Palace, where he was waiting having left the latest addition to The Firm – and third in line to the throne – in the loving arms of new mum Kate, 31, and her proud parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, at their home in Bucklebury, Berkshire.
The birth certificate confirmed that Catherine Elizabeth and William Arthur Philip Louis, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, had a son, George Alexander Louis, born at St Mary’s hospital in Paddington, Westminster, on July 22.
Ms Cathcart, who filled in the details before William signed the form, described her involvement in recording the birth as “a great pleasure” and privilege.
She said: “We also registered the birth of the Queen and Prince Charles and princes William and Harry, so it’s great to see that tradition continue.”
This weekend William is due to take part in a charity polo match with Harry in Ascot, Berks, before returning to work next week as a search and rescue pilot based at RAF Valley on Anglesey, North Wales, after two weeks’ paternity leave.
