There are still two months to go until the Baby of Cambridge comes into the world but the gifts have already started coming in.
Welsh composer Paul Mealor has announced he has written a lullaby for the new little prince or princess.
The tune, entitled Sleep On, has been recorded by New Zealand soprano Hayley Westenra, and is included on her upcoming album Hushabye which is dedicated to the royal baby.
It’s not the first time Mealor has composed a song for royalty. His version of Ubi Caritas et Amor was performed at William and Kate’s wedding two years ago and he feels the lullaby is a natural progression to celebrate the couple’s next step in married life.
Mealor’s other work includes the chart-topping hit ‘Where You Are’, which he wrote for Gareth Malone’s Military Wives Choir.
It was after this success he was commissioned for the royal wedding and went on to be considered one of the musical highlights of the event.
