I never though I'd post in the celebrity board, but this cracked me up a bit!

Apparently the baby prince was swaddled in an A&A blanket, and now everyone is going bananawackers over it!
HB was ahead of the pop culture curve on this one

A good product is a good product! I bet Princess Kate did a lot of Internet searches and lurking to find favorites and well-reviewed, practical products. Good for A&A!

@Mrs Green Grass: I definitely wouldn't be surprised if Kate was reading HB. Or even posting!

Wow!
I did check Amazon to see if they were sold out. They aren't. Although, I think Britains don't like Amazon because of some tax issue.

glad others are going to enjoy them as well!
@Mrs Green Grass: @allison: I think we decided @cherrybee: was princess Kate

I hope their prices stay the same - I use my a+a blankets for everything! Burp cloth, nursing cover, swaddle, carseat cover, security blanket, extra warmth in a restaurant etc. I've always got one or two in my diaper bag.

Mwah ah ah ah! Those exact blankets were the first baby thing I bought (months and months ago). I feel so trendy!

I have the same print as the Royals. I love A & A blankets. Part of me wants to get the lace blanket used around the swaddle, but the knitter in me is hoping that someone writes a pattern for it.

@grizz: me too. I don't want to spend an arm and a leg when it comes time to swaddle my baby.

This is awesome. Just bought another set of A&A yesterday. For you Canadian bees you can get them 25% off online at chapters/indigo this weekend.
Imagine Kate was one of us! Mr and Mrs Bee would be busy with the increase of traffic to their site!

Haha, I like that she specifically got the jungle jam ones. I just ordered A&A for the first time a couple of days ago and got the same ones, had no clue they were now "royal". So I guess they were not yet sold out in Canada

I told DH about how the royal baby was wearing an A&A swaddle and he was like "Oh was it one of the prince charming ones?" Haha, love that he knows that.

Ha! I have the same print and I've been calling it the royal swaddle. FI thinks I'm ridiculous.
