The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have left hospital with the – as yet unnamed – new royal baby.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The prince made his first public appearance just before 6pm cradled by his mother, around 12 hours after she was admitted to the Lindo Wing at St Mary’s in Paddington and seven hours after she gave birth.
The duke, smiling broadly alongside them, said they were “very happy” and “very delighted”. Holding up three fingers he joked that he now had “thrice the worry now”.
Quizzed on whether they had decided on a name for their third child, the duke added: “You’ll find out soon enough.”
The Duchess appeared in front of hundreds of fans wearing a red Jenny Packham shift dress with a lace Peter Pan collar. The royal returned to the designer for her third time, wearing Jenny Packham dresses after the births of both Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
Prince William then carried the baby, safely encased in his car seat, to the car before driving both his wife and child home to Kensington Palace.
The Palace had tweeted the arrival of the couple’s second son shortly after 1pm, stating the child was delivered safely at 11:01am, weighing 8lbs 7oz.
The Queen, Prince Philip, Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry have been notified and are said to be “delighted.”
George and Charlotte earlier met the newest addition to the Cambridge family after being brought to St Mary’s Hospital by William.
A confident Charlotte, who turns three on May 2, turned to wave at the photographers as she led the way up the steps holding the duke’s hand, while four-year-old George appeared more wary of the huge crowds of media.
