royal baby

Throne's newest heir

A royal baby is an infant born into a royal family, especially one in direct line of succession to a throne.

The term gained particular currency with intense media coverage of British royal births: The royal baby was finally revealed to the public.

Coverage often extends to pregnancy announcements, name speculation, and first public appearances.
