BRITAIN’S Duke and Duchess of Cambridge presented their new daughter to a cheering crowd of wellwishers and media in London on Saturday (May 2).
Later in the day, the royal couple stepped out of St Mary’s Hospital in London to greet the crowds and give the world its first glimpse of the new princess, who was wrapped in a blanket asleep in Kate’s arm.
The royal family’s newest member was born at 8:34 a.m. (0734 GMT), some 2-1/2 hours after Kate Middleton was admitted in the early stages of labor to St Mary’s Hospital, West London, the couple’s Kensington Palace residence said in a statement.
The baby princess will be fourth in line to the throne behind her brother George, father William and grandfather Prince Charles, pushing her uncle Prince Harry down a place in the royal hierarchy.
The baby, whose name has yet to be announced, weighed 8 lbs 3 oz and William was present at the birth, the palace said. (Reuters)
