Êtes-vous dans l'attente de l'héritier royal?
Les yeux du monde entier sont rivés sur le bedon de Kate. Il y a déjà quelques jours, son obstétricien a cessé de boire. Il est prêt pour l'accouchement. L'hélico de William est en veille, pendant qu'il passe d'un match de polo à l'autre. Les paparazzis eux, ont le doigt prêt à cliquer. #RoyalBaby grimpe le palmarès des médias sociaux. D'une minute, d'une seconde à l'autre, tout le monde en parlera : le bébé au sang bleu, le dernier né de la famille Windsor, sera né.
Pour parler informé de tout ce tra la la royal, voici votre guide sur le bébé le plus attendu du monde.
* Quand règnera le bébé royal?
Le bébé royal sera le troisième dans la ligne de succession au trône britannique. Le nouveau-né précèdera son oncle prince Harry, qui lui descendra à la quatrième place, de la ligne de succession.
Le top cinq de l'ordre de succession au trône britannique, qui n'est pas seulement régie par la descendance familiale, mais aussi par une loi parlementaire, sera le suivant:
La souveraine, Elizabeth II, 87 ans
1. Le prince de Galles, Charles, 64 ans
2. Le duc de Cambridge, William, 31 ans
3. Le premier enfant, du duc et la duchesse de Cambridge, le prince ou la princesse de Cambridge, qui arrivera très très bientôt
4. Prince Henry de Galles, Harry, 28 ans
Pour la première fois dans l'histoire de la monarchie britannique, le sexe ne dictera pas la ligne de succession. En 2011, peu de temps après le mariage de Will et Kate, le parlement a mis fin à cette primogéniture masculine, du début du 18ème siècle. Si c'est une fille, elle ne sera pas surpassée, pour son droit de régner, elle règnera.
* Quel sera le nom du bébé royal?
Puisque le duc et la duchesse ne souhaitaient pas connaitre le sexe de leur premier-né, aucun prénom n'a pas été annoncé.
Pour les 'bookmakers' londoniens c'est le 'jackpot'. Tous s'en donnent à cœur joie avec toutes sortes de paris, pour cet enfant attendu.
Les mises pour le sexe privilégient une fille.
Pour les prénoms, Alexandra, qui est le second prénom de la Reine, est en tête de liste. Charlotte, le second prénom de Pipa, la sœur de Kate, est deuxième. Elizabeth, le nom de l'arrière grand-mère maternelle de l'enfant à venir, est troisième. Tandis que Diana, le nom de la maman de William, est en quatrième place, mais c'est le grand favori du public.
Grâce à de solides antécédents familiaux historiques: George, James et Philip sont les favoris pour le prénom d'un garçon. Elvis, coté à 500/1, est le 'long shot'. ☺
Le bébé aura le titre de prince ou princesse de Cambridge.

Elizabeth(46 of216)
FAMILY TREE: Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth and Prince William\'s grandmother. \nMEANING:Elizabeth is of Hebrew origin and means God\'s promise or God is my oath.\nWHY WE LIKE IT: Why wouldn\'t you want to be named after one of the most powerful women in the United Kingdom? Even though sources report that the couple has decided to use Elizabeth as one of two middle names, Elizabeth not only honours the baby\'s great grandmother, but Kate Middleton\'s middle name is Elizabeth as well. (credit:Getty Images)
George VI(47 of216)
FAMILY TREE: King George VI was King of the United Kingdom from 1936 to 1952. \nMEANING:Originally of Greek origin, the meaning of George is \"farmer\". Also there is the story of Saint George, a knight who became the patron saint of England and achieved legendary status after his struggle with a fire-breathing dragon.\nWHY WE LIKE IT: Besides being a dragon slayer, the name George goes back to the Royal family\'s history books since 1660. George VI was also the last male figure in power — this title currently belongs to Queen Elizabeth II. (credit:Getty Images )
Diana (48 of216)
FAMILY TREE: Princess Diana, The Princess of Wales and Prince William\'s mother. \nMEANING:Diana is derived from either an Indo-European root meaning \'divine\' or from the Latin word \'diviana.\'\nWHY WE LIKE IT: After Princess Diana\'s tragic car crash in 1997, Diana would be a wonderful tribute to remember Lady Di. Again, sources say the couple plan on using Diana as a middle name, but we would love to see Diana used as the first name. (credit:Getty Images )
William Jr. (49 of216)
FAMILY TREE: Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and father. \nMEANING: William is of Old German origin and means protection.\nWHY WE LIKE IT: Maybe a reason to follow in his father\'s footsteps, William Jr. may be a suitable name if the couple had a baby boy. Prince William has always been known for his good grades, his love for sports and being a philanthropist. (credit:Getty Images)
Margaret Rose (50 of216)
FAMILY TREE: Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon, was Queen Elizabeth\'s sister.\nMEANING: Margaret is of Greek origin and means pearl.\nWHY WE LIKE IT: Keeping it in the family, we like that fact that Princess Margaret was the Queen\'s youngest and only sibling. Margaret lived a life of controversy when it came to her love life and divorce, but she was remembered for her affection and love for her family, according to The Telegraph. Plus, so many good nickname possibilities! (credit:Getty Images )
Frances (51 of216)
FAMILY TREE: Princess Diana\'s mother\'s name was Frances Shand Kydd. \nMEANING: Frances, which comes from old French, means to be free.\nWHY WE LIKE IT: Another way to keep a grandmother\'s name in the family, authors have described her as \"certainly complicated\" but also \"funny, warm, intelligent and energetic,\" according to The Daily Mail. We also like this name because it could be used both for a baby girl or boy. (credit:PA Photo)
Victoria (Or Victor)(52 of216)
FAMILY TREE: Queen Victoria spent 63 years on the throne. \nMEANING:Victoris of Latin origin and means victory.\nWHY WE LIKE IT: Queen Victoria continues to be the family\'s longest reigning monarch and the longest reigning female in power. As a child, she was known as a \"patient rebel\" — always aiming to be \"good\" but also very strong-minded, according to Professor Lynne Vallone. (credit:Mary Evans Picture Library/Everett Collection )
Charles (53 of216)
FAMILY TREE: Charles, Prince of Wales, father of Prince William. \nMEANING: The name is Old German and means free man.\nWHY WE LIKE IT: Staying true to a father-son bond, royal sources have said that Prince William has been very supportive of his father and that they share a closer relationship, according to the Telegraph. Who knows, maybe this is a trait that will continue with Prince William\'s son. (credit:Getty Images)
Jason (54 of216)
FAMILY TREE: Actually, this name isn\'t in the family — but it could be. \nMEANING:Jason means the healer.\nWHY WE LIKE IT: It may not be part of the Royal family\'s family tree just yet, but \"Fledgling Jason Steed\" is one of Prince William\'s favourite books, according to The Daily Mail. The story follows an 11-year-old boy named Jason Steed who is destined to save himself and his country from a nuclear threat. (credit:Amazon )
Smythe (55 of216)
FAMILY TREE: Okay, we\'re throwing this one out there but hear us out. \nMEANING: Smythe is Old English for \'blacksmith.\'\nWHY WE LIKE IT: Kate Middleton has been seen donning a Canadian-made Smythe blazer several times, including during the 2012 London Olympic Games. And who doesn\'t like the sound of Smythe for a baby girl? At least it doesn\'t rhyme easily.

* Comment sera annoncé la naissance royale?
Tout comme son papa, l'héritier poussera son premier cri royal, à l'hôpital St-Mary's, de Paddington. En 1982, le prince William a été le premier, de la famille royale, à naitre à l'extérieur du palais.
L'annonce de la naissance sera dans la tradition royale : une proclamation signée.
L'équipe médicale du docteur Allan Farthing, 'Royal Gynecologist' (oui, c'est son titre), a supervisé la grossesse de la duchesse et supervisera la naissance du prince ou de la princesse, signera le certificat.
Le bref bulletin confirmera la date ainsi que l'heure de la naissance, le sexe de l'enfant, qu'il a été 'safely delivered' et peut-être le poids.
Quelques minutes plus tard, William annoncera la naissance, sur une ligne téléphonique cryptée à sa grand-maman, pendant que son secrétaire privé l'annoncera au premier ministre David Cameron et à l'archevêque de Canterbury. Ensuite, viendra l'annonce de Buckingham aux chefs d'états.
Pour l'avis public, le certificat officiel de la naissance sera transporté, par escorte policière, de l'hôpital jusque derrière les balustrades en fer de Buckingham Palace, pour finalement être affiché dans un cadre en bois, sur un chevalet doré.
Des salves d'artillerie accueilleront l'héritier du trône : 62 coups de la 'Tower of London' et 41 coups de 'Green Park'.
Contrairement à la tendance contemporaine, l'annonce sur les médias sociaux sera la dernière, après tout le faste royal traditionnel. Les adeptes de Twitter qui suivent @ BritishMonarchy devront attendre.
* Comment célèbreront les gens?
À Londres, tous les pubs exhibent déjà fièrement leur patriotisme, en concoctant de nouveaux cocktails 'Royal Baby', tandis que les chics hôtels invitents ses clients au 'Afternoon Tea Baby Shower'.
Ici au Canada, la Tour du CN et les chutes du Niagara seront illuminés, de rose ou de bleu, pour annoncer Prince ou Princesse, de Cambridge. Vous pouvez même placer votre pari sur la page Facebook de Niagara Parks.
Personnellement, j'ai placé un pari rose. Et pendant que nous y sommes, mon choix favori pour le prénom est Charlotte.
Situation délicate :
Dans quelques années, vous rencontrez le Prince ou la Princesse de Cambridge : révérence ou pas?
Solution(s) :
Bien que plusieurs optent encore pour les salutations traditionnelles, les mœurs de nos temps modernes ne dictent pas de comportement spécifique, pour saluer un membre de la famille royale. De nos jours, la poignée de main, le message universel de paix, est le choix habituel des rencontres royales contemporaines.
Si vous souhaitez faire preuve d'une grande marque de respect, à titre de 'gentleman' vous ferez une légère inclinaison de la tête à la nuque, et à titre de 'lady', vous ferez une mini-génuflexion, en plaçant votre pied droit derrière votre pied gauche. Comme pour tous les autres membres de la famille royale, à l'exception de Sa Majesté, la Reine, vous lui adresserez la parole en disant : «Votre Altesse Royale».
En conclusion, le bébé, même si royal, comme tous les autres bébés du monde, arrivera quand il sera prêt. Et, le meilleur souhait que nous puissions offrir à Will et à Kate, tout comme à tous les autres parents du monde, est pour un enfant en pleine santé.
Maintenant, il ne nous reste plus qu'à attendre. Dans cette attente, allez mesdames et messieurs faites vos jeux! Placez vos paris pour le futur roi ou la future reine, de l'Angleterre.
Vous vivez une situation délicate? Écrivez-moi, je vous répondrai promptement. Vous aimeriez d'autres solutions? Aimez ma page Facebook, visitez mon site web, ou suivez-moi sur Twitter. Vous préparez une conférence? Il me fera plaisir d'éclairer votre groupe sur l'étiquette professionnelle ou sociale. À votre service.

Elizabeth(46 of216)
FAMILY TREE: Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth and Prince William\'s grandmother. \nMEANING:Elizabeth is of Hebrew origin and means God\'s promise or God is my oath.\nWHY WE LIKE IT: Why wouldn\'t you want to be named after one of the most powerful women in the United Kingdom? Even though sources report that the couple has decided to use Elizabeth as one of two middle names, Elizabeth not only honours the baby\'s great grandmother, but Kate Middleton\'s middle name is Elizabeth as well. (credit:Getty Images)
George VI(47 of216)
FAMILY TREE: King George VI was King of the United Kingdom from 1936 to 1952. \nMEANING:Originally of Greek origin, the meaning of George is \"farmer\". Also there is the story of Saint George, a knight who became the patron saint of England and achieved legendary status after his struggle with a fire-breathing dragon.\nWHY WE LIKE IT: Besides being a dragon slayer, the name George goes back to the Royal family\'s history books since 1660. George VI was also the last male figure in power — this title currently belongs to Queen Elizabeth II. (credit:Getty Images )
Diana (48 of216)
FAMILY TREE: Princess Diana, The Princess of Wales and Prince William\'s mother. \nMEANING:Diana is derived from either an Indo-European root meaning \'divine\' or from the Latin word \'diviana.\'\nWHY WE LIKE IT: After Princess Diana\'s tragic car crash in 1997, Diana would be a wonderful tribute to remember Lady Di. Again, sources say the couple plan on using Diana as a middle name, but we would love to see Diana used as the first name. (credit:Getty Images )
William Jr. (49 of216)
FAMILY TREE: Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and father. \nMEANING: William is of Old German origin and means protection.\nWHY WE LIKE IT: Maybe a reason to follow in his father\'s footsteps, William Jr. may be a suitable name if the couple had a baby boy. Prince William has always been known for his good grades, his love for sports and being a philanthropist. (credit:Getty Images)
Margaret Rose (50 of216)
FAMILY TREE: Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon, was Queen Elizabeth\'s sister.\nMEANING: Margaret is of Greek origin and means pearl.\nWHY WE LIKE IT: Keeping it in the family, we like that fact that Princess Margaret was the Queen\'s youngest and only sibling. Margaret lived a life of controversy when it came to her love life and divorce, but she was remembered for her affection and love for her family, according to The Telegraph. Plus, so many good nickname possibilities! (credit:Getty Images )
Frances (51 of216)
FAMILY TREE: Princess Diana\'s mother\'s name was Frances Shand Kydd. \nMEANING: Frances, which comes from old French, means to be free.\nWHY WE LIKE IT: Another way to keep a grandmother\'s name in the family, authors have described her as \"certainly complicated\" but also \"funny, warm, intelligent and energetic,\" according to The Daily Mail. We also like this name because it could be used both for a baby girl or boy. (credit:PA Photo)
Victoria (Or Victor)(52 of216)
FAMILY TREE: Queen Victoria spent 63 years on the throne. \nMEANING:Victoris of Latin origin and means victory.\nWHY WE LIKE IT: Queen Victoria continues to be the family\'s longest reigning monarch and the longest reigning female in power. As a child, she was known as a \"patient rebel\" — always aiming to be \"good\" but also very strong-minded, according to Professor Lynne Vallone. (credit:Mary Evans Picture Library/Everett Collection )
Charles (53 of216)
FAMILY TREE: Charles, Prince of Wales, father of Prince William. \nMEANING: The name is Old German and means free man.\nWHY WE LIKE IT: Staying true to a father-son bond, royal sources have said that Prince William has been very supportive of his father and that they share a closer relationship, according to the Telegraph. Who knows, maybe this is a trait that will continue with Prince William\'s son. (credit:Getty Images)
Jason (54 of216)
FAMILY TREE: Actually, this name isn\'t in the family — but it could be. \nMEANING:Jason means the healer.\nWHY WE LIKE IT: It may not be part of the Royal family\'s family tree just yet, but \"Fledgling Jason Steed\" is one of Prince William\'s favourite books, according to The Daily Mail. The story follows an 11-year-old boy named Jason Steed who is destined to save himself and his country from a nuclear threat. (credit:Amazon )
Smythe (55 of216)
FAMILY TREE: Okay, we\'re throwing this one out there but hear us out. \nMEANING: Smythe is Old English for \'blacksmith.\'\nWHY WE LIKE IT: Kate Middleton has been seen donning a Canadian-made Smythe blazer several times, including during the 2012 London Olympic Games. And who doesn\'t like the sound of Smythe for a baby girl? At least it doesn\'t rhyme easily.
