Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, gives birth to baby number 3!

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have finally welcomed their third royal bundle of joy!

For months, the world has been waiting in anticipation for the new addition to the Royal family. Now, the day has finally come!

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge — fondly known as Prince William and Kate Middleton — have welcomed their third baby!

According to reports, the Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to a baby boy on the 23rd of April at St. Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, west London. 

Their royal bundle of joy was born at exactly 11:01 a.m. (British time) and weighed 8 lbs. 7 oz. at birth.

Seven hours after giving birth, the Duchess left the hospital with William and their youngest child, looking stunning in a stylish red shift dress.

He is fifth in line to the British throne, following his two siblings, Prince William, and grandfather Prince Charles.

Though they have yet to reveal the baby’s name, we have no doubt it will be just as elegant and as classic as George and Charlotte!

It was back in October 2017 when the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge confirmed the happy news that they were expecting their third baby. Over the next few months, Kate Middleton made several public appearances, stylishly showing off her baby bump. There were even rumours that she was expecting twins.

Finally, after months of fans being on Royal baby watch, a post on the official Kensington Royal twitter account confirmed that the Duchess of Cambridge was already in the early stages of labour.

Barely five hours later, the same official Royal twitter account confirmed the happy news!

Prince William later went back home to Kensington Palace to pick up Prince George and big sister Princess Charlotte. They soon headed to St. Mary’s hospital, all-smiles as their dad took them to meet their little brother!
