How Did She Do It?

Once upon a time, in a land not so

far away, the world waited.

A Princess was due to give birth and word was 

out that she had been "snuck" into the hospital

early Saturday morning.

Two hours later a new Princess was born

and the the little island known as the the UK,

was euphoric.

Everyone was super-excited.

Tourists were multiplying rapidly outside

St. Mary's Hospital (which by the way was 

where I was born "sans" paparazzi ;-)

and both Kensington and Buckingham Palace.

At 11am the official announcement was made with all

the pomp and ceremony we Brits have become known for

So all this is fine and dandy-we all know

what happened during the rest of the afternoon;

both princesses (Mum and daughter) were presented 

to the world to gasps and whoops of joy.

But something else happened in my world.

As Kate stepped out of the Lindo Wing at around

6pm, the worlds media went into a frenzy, and so

did my mobile phone.

What the hell was happening?

All my friends were texting me.

"How can she look so amazing after giving birth

just 10 hours earlier?"

"How does she do it?"

"Are we sure someone didn't give birth for her?"

(a joke of course)

"How is it humanely possible

that someone can look so 

amazing in less than 12 hours?"

I have never had children, so I wasn't really

in a position to comment.

What I did know was that I look

100 time worse if I just do 30 minutes cardio.

I therefore know if  I had given birth, it 

would have probably taken me 10 weeks

to look half presentable for the world, 

not 10 HOURS.

Yes I know some people 

argue  "Well she does have a make-up

artist and hairdresser on speed dial".

But is that the only reason?

I don't recall Diana looking quite

as polished when she stepped out of the

same hospital.

Would love to hear your thoughts.
