Royal Baby's Birth Certificate Officially Signed By Prince William (PHOTOS)

Prince George Finally Gets His Formal Birth Certificate Signed By Prince William

There were newspaper covers, collectors editions of magazines, commemorative coins and more memorabilia than anyone in England could buy. But as it turns out, the royal baby still needed a traditional birth certificate to mark the occasion.

Rebecca English of the Daily Mail reports that Prince William formally "registered" his son, Prince George, at Kensington Palace in front of a Registrar from Westminster Register Office on Friday morning.

Only Will signed the registry, not Kate, as it requires only one parent's signature (and he signed it "William" -- how informal). But the certificate form is filled with lots of fun details about the whole family. Here are our favorites, as revealed by the BBC's Peter Hunt:

  • Where it asked Prince William to list his job, he wrote "Prince of the United Kingdom."
  • For Kate's job, William listed "Princess of the United Kingdom." Note: In 1982, there was no place for Diana to list her occupation.
  • In addition to being the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate is also Princess William of Wales.
  • Georgie's name is officially H.R.H. Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge (no, not Baby-G as we had hoped).

OK, it's official: There is no cooler job than "Princess of the United Kingdom." We've never been more jealous. See the actual certificate -- and William's handwriting! -- in the photos below.
