Isn't The Lovely!

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have debuted their third child to rapturous applause in London, completing their gorgeous family of five

Prince George’s arrival was cause for much celebration because a future king was born. Princess Charlotte was adored because she was the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s little princess. But holding a special place in Kate’s heart is her third born, another son, who many royal commentators are predicting will be spoilt rotten by his adoring mum and dad.

Kate, 36, has already changed the way she’ll mother her new little prince, taking extended maternity leave from royal engagements to enjoy his first four months without the glare of the spotlight.

This is in stark contrast to the way she returned to her hectic public life just a short six weeks after welcoming George, and two months after Charlotte was born.

The prince arrived at 11.01am on Monday, April 23, after a five-hour labour, weighing 3.8kg (8lbs, 7oz) – 30g (1oz) heavier than his big brother George.

The immaculately dressed duchess left the luxury Lindo Wing maternity ward of St Mary’s Hospital in London just seven hours after the birth, pausing for the traditional photo call to debut the newest little royal to the world.

George, four, and Charlotte, who turns three this week, stole the show when their dad brought them to the hospital to introduce them to their baby brother.
