"Royal baby: Duchess of Cambridge gives birth to boy"
The Duchess of Cambridge has given birth to a baby boy. The child, who was born in the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital, central London, is fifth in line to the throne and the Queen's sixth great-grandchild. The new arrival, who is the third child of Catherine and the Duke of Cambridge, was born at 11:01 BST weighing 8lbs 7oz. A Kensington Palace statement said Catherine and her new son are "both doing well". William was present for the birth, the palace added. The statement added that members of both families had been informed and were "delighted with the news". Prime Minister Theresa May tweeted her "warmest congratulations" to William and Catherine. She said: "I wish them great happiness for the future." The duchess was admitted to hospital shortly before 6:00 on Monday with the announcement of the birth coming shortly after 13:00. Senior royal doctors consultant obstetrician Guy Thorpe-Beeston and consultant gynaecologist Alan Farthing oversaw the birth. Both were also called in for the arrival of Prince George in 2013 and Princess Charlotte in 2015. The new prince, born on St George's Day, shares a birthday with Lady Gabriella Windsor - the daughter of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, who was born at the Lindo Wing on 23 April 1981. The name of the new child has not yet been announced.
