Royal Baby Watch: Countdown with Books

Eagerly awaiting the birth of Prince William and Duchess Kate’s second royal bundle of joy? Get your Anglophile fix with these reads.

Brush up on the expectant parents’ love story. William and Kate: A Royal Love Story and William & Kate: A Royal Love Story spill the juicy details of how the dashing prince fell for the sophisticated commoner.

Relive their fairy-tale nuptials in Andrew Morton's William & Catherine: A Royal Wedding. You can even watch the big day again in The Royal Wedding.

And we have plenty of materials to help the royals themselves.

Once he or she arrives, the tiny royal, fourth in line to the throne, can get the scoop on Great-Grandma by watching The Queen.

Of course the second-time mum may like some refreshers as she preps for a newborn. Kate can catch up on the classic What to Expect series, or if she needs a laugh during these rough last few days of her pregnancy, she can check out the movie What to Expect When You're Expecting.

First-born George will surely need some time to adjust to a new baby in the palace. One Special Day would help him learn the ins and outs of his new role as big brother.

One thing that’s no laughing matter is the all-important name of the royal bambino. Wills and Kate may want to study up on Celtic Baby Names or Cool Irish Names for Babies as they search for just the right name.

Whatever stately British moniker they choose, the whole world is chuffed to see if it’s a girl or boy. Cheers to the royal parents!
