A New Prince Is Born

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge and Britain’s Prince William, has given birth to a son, the royal family announced Monday. 

The couple’s third child arrived at 11 a.m. local time at St. Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, west London. According to the Palace, the new son weighed 8lbs 7oz, and it is reported that both mother and baby are doing well.

The traditional golden easel holding a framed birth announcement is on display in front of Buckingham Palace. The bulletin will be on display for approximately 24 hours. The posting of a royal birth bulletin goes back to at least 1837, when Buckingham Palace became the British monarch’s official residence.


The royal baby is fifth in line to the British throne, after grandfather Prince Charles, father Prince William and two siblings. William and Kate will mark their seventh wedding anniversary on April 29th.
