An overjoyed Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are the proud
parents of a ‘beautiful’ baby boy, and the nation celebrates the birth of a
future king.
The couple’s son was delivered at 4.24pm yesterday in the
private Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington weighing a bouncing 8lbs
6oz and with his proud father looking on.
The as yet unnamed baby will be given the title His Royal
Highness and be known as Prince (Name) of Cambridge, after a decree by the
Queen earlier this year.
The new prince is third in the line of succession, displacing
Prince Harry to fourth and the Duke of York to fifth, although he may not become
sovereign for half a century or more.
Recent legislation allowing female heirs to automatically
accede to the throne if they are first born will clearly not affect the
Cambridge’s son, but will have a bearing on any of his children.
