It’s a princess
The Duchess of Cambridge has given birth to a girl, Kensington Palace
has announced.
The baby - who is fourth in line to the throne - was “safely
delivered” at 8:34 BST, the palace said in a statement. The Duke of
Cambridge was present for the birth of the baby, who weighs 8lbs 3oz
(3.7kg).
Both Catherine and her daughter are “doing well”, the statement
added. The Duchess had earlier been admitted to the Lindo Wing at St
Mary’s Hospital where Prince George was born in July 2013.
The statement from Kensington Palace 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.” The latest royal joins the line of succession behind her
grandfather Prince Charles, father Prince William and brother Prince
George.
On Thursday, during an official engagement, Prince Charles had said
he was hoping the Duchess gave birth to a girl.
