Like mother, like son. When Kate Middleton wears anything she ignites a selling frenzy--it's called the "Kate Middleton Effect." So I guess it follows that the royal baby's duds would fly off shelves as well.
Yesterday, all eyes were on the doors of St. Mary's hospital's Lindo Wing, anxiously awaiting the first glimpse of His Royal Highness, the Prince of Cambridge. While everyone was over-the-moon excited to see what Kate Middleton would wear for her first appearance as a mom (so much so that Jenny Packham's site crashed), another Middleton didn't exactly escape un-noticed: Middleton's mom (and grandmom to the Prince!) Carole caused a mini-frenzy when she stopped by the hospital to visit the new heir in a pretty Orla Kiely frock. As chance would have it, we had plans to see Kiely at the launch of her iPhone and iPad accessory collection for Target that same day--and had to get the scoop on how the Irish designer felt about playing a small part on a very big day.
According to reports, the site crashed soon after word got out that Kate Middleton had worn the designer. However, the traffic won't necessarily translate to sales.
He's here! He's here! He's here! Kate and Wills' little bundle of Royal joy arrived yesterday afternoon--and enterprising companies certainly aren't wasting any time cashing in on the excitement.

Having to look camera ready (for like, all the cameras in the world) a day after giving birth sounds terrifying. We're glad the Duchess's hair dresser is (reportedly) at the hospital.
And we thought Harper Beckham had it good. His Royal Highness, Prince of Cambridge, who was welcomed into the world yesterday by Prince William and Kate Middleton (remember her?), will not only get a 41-gun salute today in London (along with 62 shots fired from a canon at the Tower of London), but he's already got fashion's most high-profile designers vying to dress him.
There is a long and hallowed tradition of experienced mothers scaring the daylights out of new mothers, and I've elected myself as the one to let Kate in on the secret of what happens to you post-pregnancy and how she'll need to change her beauty routine. (I'm also happy to send her hand-me-downs from my boys if she wants.) Read on.
