As for the newborn's big brother, four-year-old Prince George, he was said to be at school when Middleton gave birth. Princess Charlotte, who will turn 3 next month, was at the Kensington Palace.
Delivery Details
Along with the royal family’s statement, the Royalist Town Crier stood on the steps of the Lindo Wing to shout the news of the royal baby’s arrival just moments after Middleton delivered at St. Mary’s Hospital in London. It’s the same facility where she gave birth to Princess Charlotte and Prince George.
Middleton checked into the prestigious hospital just before 6 a.m. U.K. time. At the time, she was in the early stages of labor.
A Royal Celebration
According to royal tradition, members of the family will visit the baby, Middleton, and Prince William, before they head home from the hospital. The celebration will continue with a gun salute in a London park as well as a visit from Queen Elizabeth once the couple and their child arrive home at Kensington Palace.
Meanwhile, fans and the public have camped out at the hospital with the anticipation of getting a glimpse at the royal baby when Prince William and Middleton hold a small press meeting similar to the ones they did for their two oldest children.
