The UK is in celebration mode as the news was announced that another Royal baby was welcomed into the world. Kate Middleton just seems to make pregnancy look effortless but it’s not, of course, for her.
She suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum during the first trimester this time, her third baby, but the princess always had a smile on for the cameras.
Everyone has been on labor and baby watch as we knew the due date for her third child was nearing.
People wondered if Kate would have the baby before her brother-in-law, Prince Harry, was set to get married.
There was also concern that she would not be able to attend the May wedding if she was still pregnant.
But, that’s not a worry anymore because the Duchess has given birth to their third baby.
And, it doesn’t sound like the labor was too much for the princess.
According to officials, Kate Middleton was admitted to the hospital just before 6 am on Monday, UK time and not too long after that, the birth was made official..
“Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge was admitted to St. Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, London earlier this morning in the early stages of labour.” Kensington Palace officials said via Twitter. The announcement continued, “The Duchess travelled by car from Kensington Palace to the Lindo Wing at St. Mary’s Hospital with The Duke of Cambridge.”

The palace also said, “The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Harry and members of both families have been informed and are delighted with the news.”
According to the BBC, “Senior royal doctors consultant obstetrician Guy Thorpe-Beeston and consultant gynaecologist Alan Farthing oversaw the birth.” The site continues, saying, “Both were also called in for the arrival of Prince George in 2013 and Princess Charlotte in 2015.”
And then of course, the moment we were all waiting for…
Kate Middleton and Prince William left the hospital with their new baby boy. And as they have for the births of Prince George and Princess Charlotte, the couple came out for their first photo with the new prince.
Prince George and Princess Charlotte also visited later in the afternoon and were photographed arriving in with their dad.
