I would expect those reporters will need to overcome an urge to spew out copious amounts of pointless information, given the lack of journalistic fodder available to them during the 21 days leading up to the birth.

Reports about everything you can imagine, including what the Prince said when the babe arrived, to what they wore, what kind of pram they bought, comparison shots of the newborn babe next to daddy’s baby photos, right down to how much crushed ice the Duchess needed during labour, and all this will be according to a “royal insider”.

Can you imagine the pressure this couple is feeling right now when all they really want to do (as does any parent of a newborn), is fall into bed and sleep for a week.

Instead, they can expect to be hounded by photographers at any hour of the day, looking for a photo to go with a story about how many times they got up to the baby in the night, complete with a picture of a lighted window.

However, they can expect some small relief from the press due to the UK royal press charter, which has already impacted on some of the more frivolous royal reporting, like for example the Kate and Wills holiday photos and the resulting lawsuit. That may not stop the rest of the world press though.

I look forward to reading articles next week about the Duchess and her svelte post baby body, and how she achieved that look on a soup diet created for her by none other than Heston Blumenthal.

Ok, sarcasm aside, that last story idea of mine is a definite possibility.

Often the post baby body is feted as being a bigger deal than actually having a baby, you would have seen a magazine cover or two of a celebrity showing off their post baby body and a story about how they did it in just weeks.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out that this is a bad idea, not only for their health but for us average mums concerned about how we shape up post baby, the perception these articles put forward of a woman’s body image is damaging.

Which brings me to my point about the media losing its marbles for the rest of time over the Royal baby. Integrity in reporting.

Will there come a moment when a journalist is tapping away at the computer, churning out their next pulp article about the Royal baby channelling the spirit of Princess Diana, that they question what they are doing? Is this what they went to university for? Sure, there are millions of people who do buy into these stories, and that’s why they get written, because they sell, but is it too much to ask for a little class? It’ll make us all a little smarter for reading it.
