Royal Baby Memorabilia and T-shirts: Waiting for the Royal Baby

We're all in royal baby watch mode right now. Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, is past her announced due date. It's normal for first babies to be a little late, but the anticipation is building, especially in the press.

So while we await the appearance of little George or Frances or Arthur or Mary or Phillip or Alexandra, here are a few baby t-shirts for your royal baby. Heck, you could even gift one of these to the royal couple, as if they won't have enough clothes for the future King or Queen of England.

The Queen of England's Diamond Jubilee Memorabilia

Even Prince Charles has launched a line of commemorative gifts - ranging from a stuffed corgi($94)and a mohair teddy bear ($275) to a God Save the Queen cushion ($101) - through his Highgrove website, all profits from which go to charity. Party Pieces, the online party shop owned by Kate Middleton's parents, is taking a more festive approach, with cheap paper plates,

napkins, plastic beer cups,

capes, caps, decorations, you name it, they have it. In addition, you can find a myriad of commemorative t-shirts and gifts online. Here are a few, from Royal Gifts and a few other Zazzle shops:
