I spent last week stalking Twitter, CBS and CNN for any news of the royal baby. None of you will be surprised to read that I have an obsession with the British royal family. This is nothing new. I watched the wedding of Prince Andrew to Fergie with my grandmother on her 13-inch black-and-white TV while eating ice cream. I had Princess Diana paper dolls. This is deep-rooted stuff. In the spirit of all things royal, here are a few of my recommended books for more on British royalty.
