A new Prince of Cambridge has been born, Kensington Palace has confirmed
Kensington Palace has announced that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have welcomed her third child, a baby boy. The news was confirmed on Twitter this evening.
"Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge was safely delivered of a son," read the statement, "Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well." The baby was delivered at 11.01am, weighing 8 pounds and 7 ounces.
Like his siblings, the new royal arrival was born at The Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London. Keeping with tradition, the prince's birth was announced on an easel in the forecourt of Buckingham Palace as well.
As with Prince George and Princess Charlotte, it is expected that the Duke and Duchess will be spotted outside the Lindo Wing with their latest addition before long. Prince George, who took more than 10 hours to be delivered, and Princess Charlotte, who was born less than three hours after being admitted to hospital, were both introduced to the world on the steps of the same London hospital.
The royal couple first announced that they were expecting their third child last September, a week after visiting the Princess Diana memorial garden at Kensington Palace to mark the 20th anniversary of her death and not long after their first family tour to Poland and Germany. As with her previous two pregnancies, the Duchess suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum, suspending her royal duties briefly before returning to them in January this year.
The yet to be named prince is the Queens sixth great-grandchild, and fifth in line to the throne, behind his grandfather Prince Charles, his father Prince William and his siblings Prince George and Princess Charlotte. A shakeup of the rules before Princess Charlotte was born removed the male bias before, meaning she would not be leapfrogged in the line of succession. The latest royal baby's arrival makes Prince Harry sixth in line to the throne. The new Prince of Cambridge is also great-great-great-great-great-grandchild of Queen Victoria.
Although it was never confirmed, it was widely speculated that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding was planned with the Duchess's due date in mind. She is expected to attend the royal wedding in Windsor on May 19, though it is not known whether the latest member of the royal family will be in attendance too.
