Royal Girl

From the BBC:
"Royal baby: Princess presented to world"

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have appeared outside the hospital with their daughter, who was born earlier on Saturday. The princess slept in her mother's arms during her first public appearance on the steps of St Mary's Hospital. They then left for Kensington Palace. The princess - who is fourth in line to the throne - was "safely delivered" at 08:34 BST after a short labour. The Duke of Cambridge was present for the birth of the 8lbs 3oz (3.7kg) baby.  The couple emerged from the London hospital to crowds of well-wishers and the world's media. They stood on the steps for a while before heading back into the hospital to put the princess in a car seat. Prince William then drove them to Kensington Palace. They did not speak to the media.  The family will stay for a few days at Kensington Palace before decamping to their country home, Anmer Hall on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk. The duchess had been admitted to the private Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, west London, at 06:00 BST.  The birth announcement came about 11:00 BST, and the couple left the hospital with their daughter shortly after 18:00 BST. The newborn was visited by her big brother Prince George in the afternoon, and he appeared to be the only visitor.
