Prince George: That tiny regal wave made the long, hot job worthwhile I'd had my royal baby bag packed for a month when the call came that the Duchess of Cambridge had gone into labour. My suitcase contained everything I needed, including shoes and outfits in case I had to stay in a hotel. I didn't expect that I'd get home at midnight on the Monday and then up at four the next morning to head out. That might be why I ended up wearing orange blouses two days in a row. I just grabbed whatever was nearest. I always wear a bright colour, in case my cameraman needs to pick me out in a scrum. As for my shoes, well, I ditched the high heels after the first 12 hours, and resorted to nice, flat Converse basketball pumps. My job is as a conduit, to convey what it's like at the location. People were anxious first, then full of anticipation, then joyful. We had comical moments. The Royal family watch Sky, as we saw when the Prince of Wales pointed to me and joked that we'd been there a long time. Paul Harrison insisted the Prince was pointing at him; I said: "I think you'll find he was pointing at me." We ended up bickering like an old couple. You never know what's going to happen. I climbed a ladder to interview a photographer. My cameraman behind me missed his footing and fell, knocking over four ladders at the same time. Don't worry, he was fine. It was a privilege to be present when the Duke and Duchess emerged, with the little one opening his fingers. They dealt with it beautifully, and the grandparents were great too. "What's the baby like?" we asked the Prince of Wales. "You'll see in a minute," he said. He gave the game away - that was the only time we had a real heads-up. We weren't sure how the Duke would be - he doesn't always have a great relationship with the press. But he was sensational. The Duchess looked stunning. And the baby even gave us that regal wave. Surely every parent in the country had a tear in their eye thinking of their similar moments. I think we got the birth announcement a bit sooner than our colleagues on the BBC. Perhaps we just happened to open an email quicker, but whatever it was we were delighted with our coverage. They were two long days, but it was a joy to be a part of it. I'm glad I packed those comfy shoes. Kay Burley presents 'Sky News" weekdays 2pm-5pm
