Hey guys, Prince William and The Duchess of Cambridge just had their third baby. And if you didn’t know that, you’ve obviously been living under a rock because that was all most international media could talk about for a while.
Kate Middleton as one would expect looked nothing short of flawless, wearing a red dress and a white collared detail. She obviously looked her royal best and the proud parents looked gleaming.

She wore heels, had a full face of makeup and pretty much looked like she was ready to walk down the red carpet. Not that we complain right?! I mean you do you, Duchess!
However, social media was filled with various responses to Kate’s fabulous look. People showed sympathy for the young parents on the pressure they’ve to face by always looking picture perfect, while others said she set unrealistic standards for women.
Kate Middleton leaves the hospital so soon after giving birth. Do you think women have pressure to bounce back quickly after pregnancy? #EverybodyTalks pic.twitter.com/r1ecPjGVeU

Look at that family, aren’t they just perfect?!
Some mothers took to Twitter to share photos of themselves after childbirth and juxtaposed it with Kate Middleton’s. The sharp contrast between the two is hilarious.

2. Almost there.
Can someone explain to me how #KateMiddleton was able to look so amazing and in heels HOURS after giving birth??? When I left the hospital, after giving birth, my feet were so swollen I wore slippers in the snow and looked like the pic on right pic.twitter.com/OIiaht86xA

3. Seriously though!
Well, I always thought Wonder Woman was a fictional character, until Kate Middleton walked out of the hospital only 7 hours after giving birth. Now, I know she's real.

15. Oh God that sounds rough.
@janegarvey1 @BBCWomensHour here is me after emergency c-section under general anaesthetic with significant complications. This is more than 24 hours later. Not holding my daughter as I physically couldn’t for very long. pic.twitter.com/grG8CmVAK8

18. Same sister!
Kate Middleton looks incredible four minutes after giving birth. Meanwhile, I get boob sweat when I walk to the bathroom.

Sometimes it’s sad how put-together celebs have to look at all times and the pressure the media and we as a society puts on them. However, I think Kate looked freaking fab and there’s no doubting that she’s a diva while giving birth or post-pregnancy or any other time.
Sending over warm wishes to the couple and congratulations on the baby boy! ❤
