Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, and husband Prince William on Monday welcomed their first child, a son.
The baby boy was born at 4:24 p.m.,
weighing 8 pounds, 6 ounces. A name has not yet been announced for the
child, who is now third in line to the throne.
Earlier in the day, the duchess and
Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, travelied by car from Kensington
Palace to the Lindo Wing at St. Mary’s Hospital.
The hospital, next to Paddington Station in London, is where William and his brother Prince Harry were born.
The duchess’ mother, Carole Middleton, was expected to be on hand at the hospital.
The baby’s name may be announced when
the family leaves the hospital, CNN royal correspondent Max Foster
reported. Prince William’s name was announced a few days after birth,
his brother Harry’s on departure from hospital.
British bookmakers favour the names
Alexandra, Charlotte, Elizabeth, Victoria, Grace, James and George. The
field is open for both boys’ and girls’ names because royal sources said
the parents did not want to know their child’s sex in advance.
The child’s title will be His or Her
Royal Highness Prince or Princess (the baby’s name) of Cambridge, St.
James’s Palace said this month.
