By having its own Wikipedia page, the Royal baby has become the first person to make a prenatal entry into the website. A Wikipedia page called Child of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge has been created.
The unborn child's order of succession in the line to the throne has been mentioned as third, officially marking the soon-to-be born child's coming as a sign that he or she will replace Prince Harry.
The entry lists the hospital where Prince William and Kate William's baby will be delivered and the fact that it will be a natural birth with July 13 as the due date.
There is a mention that former Australian prime minister Julia Gillard has been knitting a toy kangaroo for the child. It also states that Canada has proposed to light up monuments or places, such as Toronto's CN Tower or Niagara Falls, in blue or pink announcing the sex of the Royal baby to the world.
An article has been quoted on the page that predicts that a total of $430 million will be made worldwide in tourism and souvenirs after the Royal baby is born.
More accounts are set to grow as Kate Middleton's due date nears. And the Wikipedia page will also see numerous edits with details of name and sex when the Royal baby finally arrives.
