World awaits first glimpse of royal baby
By Belinda Goldsmith
LONDON (Reuters) - The world was awaiting the first glimpse of Britain's new prince on Tuesday with camera crews poised to photograph Prince William and his wife, Kate, leaving a London hospital with their baby son.
Kate, 31, gave birth to the couple's first child, who is third in line to the British throne, on Monday afternoon, ending weeks of feverish anticipation about the arrival and surprising royal watchers, who were widely expecting a girl.
The baby's name will be announced later but George and James, both traditional royal names, were favoured choices with British bookmakers for the child, who could one day be king.
The popular couple sidestepped tradition by announcing the birth via a press release but were expected to adhere to protocol by giving the public the first sight of the royal baby on the steps as they leave St. Mary's Hospital in west London.
"All we will probably see is a glimpse of the top of the baby's head but they will stick to this tradition," said Joe Little, managing editor of Majesty magazine.
"After that we won't see them for some time. Having a baby is a very private moment and they are a private couple so the next time we see the baby will be the official photo and that could be weeks."
Kensington Palace announced the arrival of a boy weighing 8 lbs 6 oz (3.8 kg) at about 8:30 p.m. on Monday, four hours after his birth, saying Kate and her child were doing well and would remain in hospital overnight. Prince William was with them.
Their son is third in line to the throne after grandfather Prince Charles and father Prince William, 31, and pushes the fun-loving Prince Harry, William's brother, into fourth place.
BOOST FOR BRITAIN
Congratulations flooded in from all over the world after the announcement of the birth, which was followed moment-by-moment by the world media as well as the British press with the excitement seen as a boost for Britons facing economic austerity.
British tabloid newspaper The Sun temporarily renamed itself The Son in honour of the baby while the left-leaning Guardian newspaper provided readers of its website with a "Republican" button so that they could filter out the barrage of royal news if they wanted.
The birth fuels a new wave of popularity for the House of Windsor led by the younger royals, William and Harry, who were both born to the late Princess Diana at St. Mary's Hospital.
Support for the royals dipped after Diana's death in a car crash in Paris in 1997, a year after her divorce from Prince Charles, as the royals were accused of being out of touch with modern Britain in the way they handled the death of the popular princess.
But last year's celebrations of Queen Elizabeth's 60th year on the throne showed the affection with which she is held by most of the population despite a small Republican movement.
Hordes of TV crews and photographers, and royal fans wrapped in Union Jacks, remained camped outside the hospital overnight Monday, waiting for the first photo of the baby, who will be called the Prince of Cambridge.
Prince William and Kate, who met when they were students at St. Andrews University in Scotland about 10 years ago, have officially been known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge since their sumptuous royal wedding in April 2011.
Tourists in London were revelling in the celebrations that top a run of British sporting victories and an unusual heatwave.
"For me it's a wonderful, historic event. You spend a lot of time studying these things. To actually get to be here to witness one is tremendous," said George Boudreau, 48, a history professor from Philadelphia, outside Buckingham Palace.

Recari, Creamer share lead through 54 at Marathon
SYLVANIA, Ohio (AP) ? The Marathon Classic isn't a match-play tournament.
Except for maybe this year.
Beatriz Recari birdied the two closing par 5s to catch Paula Creamer atop the leaderboard through 54 holes Saturday, setting up a head-to-head battle between players who are three shots clear of the field.
Recari, a 26-year-old Spaniard who has won twice on the LPGA Tour, conceded that it's hard not to get caught up in a two-person competition.
"Definitely, it's easier because you're playing with the player closest to you in score," she said. "You still have to do your best. You can't control what she does, so you always have to stay focused on what you're doing."
They were at 12-under 201 after each shooting 4-under 67.
The showdown could be a preview. Recari is expected to make the European team for the Solheim Cup next month ? where match play rules ? and Creamer is one of the mainstays of the American side.
Creamer, who won in 2008 when the tournament was known as the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic, led throughout the round by as many as two shots before Recari's late surge at Highland Meadows.
She was pleased to find herself being the hunted instead of the hunter.
"I love this feeling," said Creamer, who has nine wins but none since the 2010 U.S. Women's Open. "I haven't felt it for a while. I've normally been chasing the leaders, but this is great. This is right where I wanted to be."
The last time she played in the same group with Recari, it was Recari who had the edge. In the third round of the Kia Classic in March in California, Recari shot a 69 when paired in the last grouping with Creamer, who had a 71. Recari, who had won the CVS last year, ended up winning in a playoff with I.K. Kim. Creamer faded to a tie for 17th.
"She's a great player," Recari said. "It's always great to play with her."
Creamer, who set the tournament record with a first-round 60 in her victory lap five years ago, is expecting a battle.
"She's steady. She hits a lot of fairways and greens and gives herself a lot of opportunities to make birdies," she said about Recari. "At the same time, there are so many players out there that you have to kind of be aware of. But she's definitely going to be fighting until the end."
There are plenty of potential challengers, even though several of the biggest names ? including world No. 1 Inbee Park, defending champ So Yeon Ryu and top amateur Lydia Ko all fell back into the pack.
Rising American teen Lexi Thompson had a 67 and, along with Jacqui Concolino and Japan's Chie Arimura, was three shots back.
"I've been working on trusting my targets ? picking out a target and just visualizing my shot," Thompson said. "That's what I've been doing every shot. I've committed pretty good to them."
Concolino, whose career-best tie for 11th came at the event last year, had a 69. She has revived her desire to play since taking time off from competitive golf after graduating from Vanderbilt in 2009.
"I just got a little burnt out in college and needed some time to myself," she said of her lengthy hiatus. "Ever since I was 13, I've been doing everything for golf, golf, golf. I never really had time to enjoy friends and family how you would want to. So that's what I did for a year and a half, two years, and started to get back on track."
Arimura, fourth in the LPGA's rookie standings, three-putted the final hole for bogey and a 68.
Jennifer Johnson (66), Chella Choi (66) and Jodi Ewart Shadoff (68) were at 205.
Park has been the talk of the tour this year, with six victories including wins in all three of the major championships. She'll go for four in a row when the tour returns to action in two weeks at the Women's British Open at St. Andrew's.
But after winning three in a row and with a solid finish last week, she sagged to a 73 that left her tied for 23rd. She double-bogeyed the first hole after hitting her drive into a fairway bunker and never recovered.
That wasn't the worst of it.
"I just putted really bad today," she said, after dropping from sole possession of fifth place through 36 holes. "Outside of that, everything else was really similar (to earlier rounds of 67 and 69), but nothing seems to be going in."
Ryu, who shot a 62 in the final round to win a year ago by seven strokes, shot a 70 and was six shots back of the leaders. Ko became the youngest LPGA winner ever when she took the Canadian Women's Open last year at 15, but she had a 71 and was tied with Ryu at 207.
Alison Walshe, tied with Recari and Creamer after the second round, fell back with a 73.
Creamer said that she'll try not to concentrate only on her version of match play with Ricari.
"You can get hot out here and shoot a low number, so I can't worry too much about what she's doing," she said. "I've got to go out and play my own game because there are going to be a lot of players that can fire at pins and post a low score. I'll just have to make as many birdies as I can."

China detains city workers after fruit seller dies
BEIJING -- Six urban management officers in south-central China were detained Saturday by local police on suspicion of intentionally harming others after a watermelon vendor died in a conflict with the city code enforcers.
A man from the Linwu county police in Hunan province confirmed the detentions, as reported by the official Xinhua News agency, but he declined to give his name, which is common among low-ranking Chinese bureaucrats.
China's public have long resented the heavy-handed tactics of the urban management officers, known as "chengguan." They are often accused of beating people who commit minor infractions in shows of power that have fueled social tension.
On Wednesday, city code enforcers in Linwu accused the watermelon farmer, Deng Zhengjia, of selling his goods without a license and fined him 100 yuan ($16), according to state media reports. Later Deng and his wife Huang Xixi moved their watermelon stand to another venue, but the enforcers arrived and a quarrel ensued.
Eyewitnesses told state media that the enforcers beat Deng and his wife and that later Deng was seen lying on the ground, motionless.
Similar incidents in other parts of China have resulted in large protests and confrontations between residents and government officials.
In a written statement, Linwu county said Deng and Huang were selling watermelons in an area that was not designated for that and were uncooperative when the city code enforcers told the couple to move their stand to a designated area. It said the enforcers confiscated four watermelons and left the scene.
But when the patrolling enforcers encountered the couple at the new venue later, Deng and Huang swore at them, and the officers felt compelled to argue, the county statement said.
"The argument between the two sides developed into physical confrontations, and during the process, Deng Zhengjia suddenly fell and died," the statement said.
Xinhua said the local authorities have sought help from officials in another province to determine the cause of death for Deng.

Russian opposition leader freed on bail after protests
By Gabriela Baczynska
KIROV, Russia (Reuters) - Russia unexpectedly freed opposition leader Alexei Navalny on bail on Friday, bending to the will of thousands of protesters who denounced his five-year jail sentence as a crude attempt by President Vladimir Putin to silence him.
In a ruling that points to Kremlin uncertainty over how to handle Navalny's case and revived protests, a judge approved an unusual prosecution request to release him while he awaits the outcome of an appeal.
The anti-corruption campaigner's movements will be restricted to Moscow but he proclaimed the ruling, one day after he was convicted of theft, as a victory for people power.
"I am very grateful to all the people who supported us, all the people who went to (protest in Moscow's) Manezh Square and other squares," the 37-year-old said, rushing across the court to hug his wife after he was released from a glass courtroom cage.
"We understand perfectly well what has happened now. It's an absolutely unique phenomenon in Russian justice," he said in the court in Kirov, an industrial city 900 km (550 miles) northeast of Moscow.
People poured onto the streets of big Russian cities to protest on Thursday evening after Navalny was convicted of stealing at least 16 million roubles ($494,000) from a timber firm when he was advising the Kirov regional governor in 2009.
Police said more than 200 people were detained in St Petersburg and Moscow although there were no big clashes.
Navalny says the case was politically motivated and intended to sideline him as a political threat to Putin, even though his support is limited outside the big cities and opinion polls show the president is still Russia's most popular politician.
Navalny led anti-Putin protests which attracted tens of thousands last year before they started to fade when the former KGB spy was elected to a six-year third term as president.
The decision to release him could be a political manoeuvre to head off social unrest. Some political analysts said the Kremlin, and the business and security community around it, looked divided over Navalny.
"There really is a split in the elite," one analyst, Ella Paneyakh, said in an online comment. "And it seems there will be no peaceful outcome."
The Kremlin has not responded to calls for comment on the verdict and said nothing about Friday's ruling.
The United States and European Union voiced concern over Navalny's conviction, saying it raised questions about the rule of law and Russia's treatment of Putin's opponents.
The White House called it part of a "disturbing trend aimed at suppressing dissent".
Russian shares fell on Thursday on concerns the conviction may provoke unrest, after a case that led to comparisons with the political "show trials" under Soviet leader Josef Stalin.
At least 3,000 people protested near the Kremlin in Moscow on Thursday under a heavy police presence, blocking main streets and shouting "Freedom" and "Putin is a thief".
Police plunged into the crowd to pluck out people holding Navalny portraits. A police official said about 50 were detained, but activists said the number had reached 169 as smaller groups continued to protest past midnight.
At least 1,000 people protested in St Petersburg, where police said about 40 were detained, and smaller rallies were held in other cities.

Stratford students raise thousands for teenage cancer charity
Sarah Bonnell School pupils selling cakes in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust.

2:51 PM
Students at Sarah Bonnell School were inspired to raise over ?2,000 for a teenage cancer charity after two of their former classmates survived the illness.
Young women at the school in Deanery Road, Stratford, cooked up a storm with a group of Year 11 leavers, two of whom had beaten cancer, who returned especially to fundraise for the Teenage Cancer Trust (TCT) on Friday July 5.
They were allowed to wear their own clothes - and some girls were particularly comfortable in onesies - and the students sold 200 cupcakes in just 20 minutes along with TCT badges and wristbands.
In total, the students raised ?2,217.43.
Kalida, a former Year 11 pupil, said: ?This fundraising event wasn?t held just for the sake of it.
?It was to send out the message to teenagers that no one is to face cancer alone and death isn?t an option.
?This can be beaten with our help and support.?
Current Year 11 Tasmina said: ?Being part of the event gave me a feeling of overwhelming happiness, excitement, and joy and it was a pleasure to be part of the team of people who took part.
?My favourite part of the event was decorating the cakes that we sold at lunch time, and approaching teachers and students to explain why this event was going on and what the purpose of the event was.?
