They seem to be caring, thoughtful parents who are making an honest effort to do the right things.
You can blame the media if you want, but I think they're handling it exceptionally well.

I'm glad for them.

I would bet there are plenty of parents in the US that have a nanny or help almost immediately.

Kate and William hightailed it to her folk's house out in the country. I'm sure they'll both need Grandma and Grandpa's help with the new little bundle, so this should be a good thing for everyone.
