A new member of the royal British family is arriving! In honor of the monarch-to-be, we bring you the original newscast of the birth of the baby's father, Prince William, over thirty years ago. Though decades have passed, the enormous crowds outside of St. Mary's indicate that little has changed. And if this video teaches us anything, we can expect to hear bells ringing and cannons blasting from the Tower of London in no time. As celebrations are set to erupt all over the United Kingdom, we congratulate Prince William and Kate, and we hope you enjoy this particularly festive Video of the Week.
