Origin & Impact

The hashtag exploded on July 22, 2013, when Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, gave birth to Prince George Alexander Louis at St. Mary’s Hospital in London. Media outlets worldwide covered the event live, and social media users tracked every detail from the official announcement to the first photos.

The birth generated unprecedented social media engagement for a royal event, with brands, celebrities, and regular users participating in the conversation. The hashtag resurfaced with subsequent royal births in 2015 (Princess Charlotte) and 2018 (Prince Louis), establishing it as the go-to tag for British royal family additions.
