>> announcer: from new york city, this is "nightline" with bill weir. >> thanks for joining us tonight. if you have to change nappies and figure out how car seats work and drive home from the hospital yourself, what is the point being a prince? william the conquerer might have scoffed at such from an heir to the throne. but william what his debut as a diy dad. a new term seemed to prove a modern monarchy is all about the
12:40 am
common touch. here's abc's david wright. >> reporter: the proud parents are still getting used to this huge new responsibility. the baby who would be king, our first glimpse. "got him" she mouthed, hold his head. the royal couple with the common touch. >> he's got a good set of lungs on him. he's a big boy, heavy. >> reporter: no name yet but he does have a full head of hair. >> he's got way more than me, thank god. >> reporter: his first throne, a baby car seat, retail about $150, carried in this case by a nervous young prince, who struggled to click it in place, mopping his brow as any first father might. then prince william cleaned behind the wheel of the suv, the young family man driving away in a range rover, a vehicle fit for two kings. >> when they came out with the
12:41 am
baby, i looked at them as if they were my friends with a newborn. i just didn't see them as royals for that second, i connected with them. i think that's how the world feels. >> reporter: the scene outside st. mary's hospital, quite the contrast to 30 years ago. back then prince charles passed the royal football as fast as possible and climbed into the back with diana. car seats not required until 1988. >> when diana and charles left the hospital in 1982, it was totally different, on their terms all the way. >> reporter: as modern as the young royals might be, this event is all about ensuring the future of the monarchy. they had all the trappings of royal tradition on full display. the band at buckingham palace, the bells at westminster, and across the thames and across from the palace, the funny hat

brigade shot off the cannons to salute the future king. it's really the imagery of the average joe that made this event memorable, for instance, the pizza delivered late last night to the maternity ward. >> unless they're in the habit of feeding everyone else on the ward, i think we can conclude those pizzas were for william and kate. >> reporter: and today when the grandparents stopped by for a visit, it was kate's parents, the commoners who had pride of place. the middletons went first, traveling by taxi to meet their royal grandson. >> it wasn't really well. we're so thrilled. >> reporter: how are the parents doing? >> fabulously. >> reporter: only after they had their visit did the prince of wales and the duchess stop by. two kings and three queens in
12:43 am
one room. in vegas, they'd call that a full house. they've made it their task to make themselves relevant. william's day job, flying a search and rescue helicopter. his brother taking up arms in one day, partying in las vegas next, hosted the olympics, won wimbledon and won the tour de france this year, not a bad year at all for the brits. the new baby gives the country one more thing to take pride in. that was the mood tonight at the duchess of cambridge. >> there's nothing more attractive than a man holding a newborn baby. >> reporter: here in the u.s. the closest equivalent are the kings and queens of pop culture, hollywood royalty like beyonce, brangelina, their baby bumps watched with equal enthusiasm,

12:45 am
wouldn't need hair and make-up but a lot of them secretly do have it done. >> reporter: today photographers did catch the royal hair stylist quietly slipping into the hospital. can you blame the duchess of cambridge? these pictures will be shown for generations. what young mother one day after delivery wouldn't want to look her best? and kate has more on her shoulders than most. >> half of her job is to look oofr th after this baby, produce an heir and give it a good upbringing because the child is going to be a future king. >> and kensington palace. the grovener hotel has done up one sweet. this basket retails for more than $4,500. hollywood royalty also tends not to make due with ikea.
12:46 am

12:52 am
in an era of scandal, this is one for the books. two years ago anthony weiner resigned his seat in congress after he was caught texting pictures of his erection to random women. today after new allegations that he kept on sexting under the alias carlos danger, weiner held another cringe worthy press conference confirming his behavior did continue for months, when many assumed he was in rehab. but he is running for mayor and just as stunning, his wife is still defending him, now more passionately than ever. but why? here's john donvan.
12:53 am
>> reporter: once again, he made a dumb mistake. but why did he make a dumb mistake? he admitted he was caught submitting photos of his unclothed torso -- >> it was a hoax. >> reporter: and then he didn't. >> to be clear, the picture was of me and i sent. >> reporter: and then resigned from congress. >> today i am submitting my resignation to congress. i have said more are likely to come out and they have. >> reporter: once again, it's the guy who makes the dumb mistake. >> i want to say i'm sorry to anyone who was on the receiving end of the messages. >> reporter: it's the spouse, why is she standing there with him?
12:54 am
>> most of us, if our husbands behaved in this fashion, you'd be out of there or he'd be out of there. political wives, many of them find a way to put up with it. >> reporter: it came up when it was hillary's turn. it came up when the governor of new york was caught hiring a prostitute. >> i've begun to atone for my private failings with my wife. >> reporter: and it's come up again now for huma abedin, who today at least stood up for her husband, or at least for their marriage. >> our marriage, like many others, have had its ups and its down. it took a lot of work and a whole love the therapy to get to a place where i could forgive anthony. it was not an easy choice in any way, but i made the decision that it was worth staying in this marriage. >> reporter: now cynics will say
12:55 am
the wives that stand there are making a cold calculation, that their marriages are more like calculations than affairs of the heart, that it's good for business to show standing united. since weiner's disgrace two years ago, he's been working on a comeback and he seems to be getting it. >> i think anthony weiner totally expects the voters of new york will say this is not important to us, other things are more important. we'll see whether that's true or not. >> reporter: the theory there's just something about a political spouse goes out the window when you consider maria shriver walked away from arnold after it came out that he fathered a child with the maid. and mark sanford's wife walked away when he slipped off for a dream trip with his lover. >> it became very innocently as
12:56 am
many do, e-mails back and forth. >> and by the way, paula broadwell was married, too. notice for some reason there has never been as much wondering allowed of what was going through her husband scott's mind. here's the thing about marriage, it is human, complex, unique each and every time. >> i didn't know how it would work out, but i did know that i wanted to give it a try. >> reporter: sure, could you say that huma abedin was out there today out of some political calculation. sure. but you don't know. and maybe, maybe -- >> every day starts right here. >> reporter: -- they've worked it out and they love each other and they've decided to get through it. oh, and run for mayor of new york at the same time. for "nightline," i'm john donvan. >> so what do you think?
