Possibly a month or more of saturation coverage if no other major news even occurs.
Likely this baby will be like Diana, a constant media obsession that's always one of the top stories. His first real meal, his first words, his first steps, oh look how cute is his outfit today, yada yada.

Rarely will I turn on news on tv these days, so I won't notice.

Now I wonder if "Spenser" will be included - pretty cool boy's name, though it would no doubt be well behind the traditional boring royal names.
