The Duchess of Cambridge has given birth to a baby girl, a sister for
20-month-old Prince George. The princess was born at the exclusive Lindo
Wing of St Mary's Hospital in Paddington 8.34am this morning weighing
8lbs 3oz, with the Duke of Cambridge present for her birth. Jubilant
crowds who had been waiting patiently outside the hospital, where Prince
George was born in 2013, celebrated as a town crier announced that the
Duchess had given birth to a girl. Meanwhile, well-wishers at Buckingham
Palace cheered as a notice of birth was attached to the railings
outside (left). The Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Duchess of
Cornwall, Prince Harry and the Middleton family were all informed of the
birth before a statement was released by Kensington Palace at 11am -
five hours after the Duchess was admitted. Kate is now expected to spend
one night in Kensington Palace with her new daughter and Prince George
before retreating to Anmer Hall in Norfolk with Prince William and her
parents.
