Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, has given birth to a baby boy. The unnamed son is third in line to the throne. Both mother and child are doing well, Kensington Palace said in a short statement. They will both remain in hospital overnight.
The son of Prince William and Middleton weighed 8lbs 6oz (3.6kg). He was delivered at 4.24pm in the maternity wing of St Mary's hospital, London, by natural birth. The Duke of Cambridge was at the bedside.
"We could not be happier," William said in a statement. A Buckingham palace spokesman said the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh are "delighted at the news". The prime minister, David Cameron, predicted William and Kate will "make wonderful parents".
Hundreds gathered nevada luxury sport car rental in nevada outside the hospital nevada luxury sport car rental in nevada to celebrate the news. The crowd sang: "Happy birthday dear royal baby," in absence of a name. Later several hundred people were outside Buckingham Palace, where an ornate easel announced the birth.
The birth of the royal baby had been followed around the world. In America rolling news channels devoted their coverage to the birth, while Australia prime minister Kevin Rudd sent his country's "warmest regards" to the new family.
I proposed a very similar idea for our front page. Beneath The Guardian masthead there would have been a full-length photo of Prince William, sword drawn and in military dress, stood over a mock up of a new born baby. We wouldn't even have had to change the spelling.
We know many of our customers who are parents will have experienced this. So we have asked parents across the UK, in our Tesco Loves Baby baby club, to share their best advice for life with a newborn.
The new royal baby is the first Prince of Cambridge to be born for more than 190 years. Let's hope he turns out better than the last one, who according to the Press Association had a "wandering eye" and daft ideas about promotion within the military.
Prince George of Cambridge, a grandson of George III and the only son of Prince Adolphus Frederick, the 1st Duke of Cambridge. Prince nevada luxury sport car rental in nevada George of Cambridge was born in 1819 and refused to have an arranged marriage. He wed a commoner for love after falling for the actress Sarah Louisa Fairbrother, who was said to be a classic beauty and a graceful dancer.
They married in 1847 when she was already nevada luxury sport car rental in nevada the mother of two of his children and pregnant with his third. But the Duke did not seek the sovereign's approval and the marriage was never recognised, hence his children were not eligible to inherit royal titles.
Despite his marriage, George had a wandering eye and soon after he wed he took up with mistress Louisa Beauclerk, who remained his lover for more than 30 years. He went on to become the 2nd Duke of Cambridge after his father's death.
He was said to have been a disciplinarian, who believed Army promotions should be based on social connections rather than ability. He died in 1904. His father, the 1st Duke of Cambridge - who lived from 1774 to 1850 - was never a Prince of Cambridge, but was given the title the Duke of Cambridge by his father George III in 1801 when he was 27.
More excited than most, given his tender age, was three-year-old Frankie Moreno from west London, who sat with his mum outside the hospital swaddled in a union flag and with a golden paper crown on his head, writes Sam Jones .
Montana Rose, 15, from London, said: "Hopefully we will be able to give this directly to the happy couple. The Duchess of Cambridge is one of our volunteers and we hope that the baby carrier will help her continue scouting."

No word on what the baby is going to be called, of course, or indeed any information other than its weight and sex. I did put a call in to the Buckingham Palace press office to ask if the child "had a regal bearing" but they've not come back to me yet.
Grandparenthood is a unique moment in anyone s life, as countless kind people have told me in recent months, so I am enormously proud and happy to be a grandfather for the first time and we are eagerly looking forward to seeing the baby in the near future.
And here is THE document. Accompanied by a footman, the Queen's press secretary Elsa Anderson has placed the official notice of the birth on a gleaming gold-coloured easel on the gravel outside the palace.
The notice will be placed on an easel in the palace's forecourt just like the announcement of William's birth on June 21, 1982, a traditional element of theatre in marked contrast to the modern age of emails nevada luxury sport car rental in nevada and Twitter.
When she was mid way through her pregnancy, Kate told a soldier at a St Patrick's Day parade nevada luxury sport car rental in nevada in Aldershot, Hampshire, that she did not know the sex of her baby, but that she would like a boy and the Duke of Cambridge a girl.
Traditionally, the announcement of a royal birth like this one has involved the placing of a proclamation on headed Buckingham Palace foolscap on an easel behind the railings in the palace's forecourt after the Queen and other members of both families have been informed.
Believe it or not, but other news meanwhile continues to happen today, including proposals unveiled by David Cameron for collaboration between police and internet firms to pursue abusers nevada luxury sport car rental in nevada and users of online images and video.
Some more Royal mania from across the pond (was all that stuff between 1775 and 1783 just a misunderstanding?). Our own Adam Gabbatt nevada luxury sport car rental in nevada has been soaking up some of the excitement about today in New York city.
Britons are expected to spend more than 243 million nevada luxury sport car rental in nevada on merchandise, other goods and party food in July and August to celebrate the newborn, reports the Times, attributing that figure to the Center for Retail Research .
Ah, for the old days. Alastair Bruce , Royal, Religious and National Events Commentator at Sky News (quite a title in itself) has been explaining that the easel announcing details about the sex and other details about the baby used to be hung out in front of the railings at the palace's forecourt.
Born on 20 July in Poole Dorset, weighting 7.9lb, our own Royal baby Adriano Omar Lucau took his time and was delivered 20 hours after his mother Shona admitted to hospital. Mother and the baby are doing fine.
My colleague Mirren Gidda has just been speaking nevada luxury sport car rental in nevada to the Greater London authority about its plans to light the Trafalgar Square fountains nevada luxury sport car rental in nevada up blue or pink depending on whether the baby is a boy or a girl (pink if it's a boy - I'm joking). Apparently nevada luxury sport car rental in nevada the fountains are going to stay lit up for seven days.
The View from the Shard, the viewing platform at the top of western Europe's tallest building, will mark the birth of the royal baby by giving free admission to guests who share the little'un's birthday.
My colleague Matt Williams in New York writes to report that the Empire State Building will not be going pink or blue for the royal birth although it did go red, white and blue for the royal wedding (here it is lit up for a different occasion last year's US election).
I'm very grateful indeed for the kind wishes for my rather slowly-approaching grandfatherhood ... Some of you may realise that with grandfatherhood comes, in four months' nevada luxury sport car rental in nevada time, old age pensionerhood [he's nearly 65].
After 2 miscarriages we finally made it with our lovely baby daughter born today at 9.29am. nevada luxury sport car rental in nevada Half English, Half Thai she really is the best gift we could have asked for. I read the news only a few hours later and only realised there is a chance that Prince William s baby could be born on the same day...Amazing!!
Diana (7-1 to 9-1) has obvious provenance and is very likely to appear in some form, though probably as a middle name. Elizabeth (7-1 to 10-1) would also be a reasonable bet for a middle nevada luxury sport car rental in nevada name, and is the Duchess of Cambridge 's middle name. Victoria, nevada luxury sport car rental in nevada Caroline and Mary were also seen as safe royal names.
For American readers confused about British baby customs, the Guardian US English to English nevada luxury sport car rental in nevada project is happy to translate any mysterious-sounding habits nevada luxury sport car rental in nevada and practices, such as live-blogging the birth, something most British mothers request these days.
However, Sam says, a couple of mischievous cameramen have clocked the Lindo Wing's tiny balconies and are jokingly hoping that the Duke of Cambridge will deviate spectacularly from royal birth protocol by dangling the baby over the rail a la Michael Jackson.
Those deemed to be high-risk are delivered in the delivery suite, but for low-risk births the midwives reign supreme in the Midwife-Led Unit. On the Princess Diana ward of the MLU, opened by William's late mother 18 years ago, today's shift leader nevada luxury sport car rental in nevada Paula Cato is making sure new mum Justyna Dabrowska has everything she needs.
She gave birth to Igor, her second child, at 5.23am, and heard the royal baby news a few hours later. "I am pleased because I think everyone will remember this day, and the day my baby was born. Something important happened on this day."
Dabrowska was grateful to be having her second child in the comfort of the Women's Hospital. "I have a friend who just gave birth in Poland and she never wants to have a baby again. nevada luxury sport car rental in nevada If you have friends in the hospital, then maybe you will have a nice birth, but if not then you will not. It is very different here, everyone can have a nice birth."
