The World has been given the first glimpse of the royal baby. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been pictured with their new born son the Prince of Cambridge this evening outside Lindo Wing.
Crowds cheered as Catherine walked down the front steps of the hospital with her new born son, who is now third in line to the throne.
The couple's beaming smiles was a clear indication of their immense happiness throughout this special time.

The Duchess said that "It's been very emotional. It's such a special time. I think any parent will probably know what this feeling feels like". With William saying "well he's got a good pair of lungs on him...he's a big boy, he's quite heavy, but were still working on a name, so well have that as soon as we can. But its the first time we've seen him really, so we're having a proper chance to catch up just meeting him really".

The couple stayed to answer questions from the waiting press, who had been camped out at Lindo Wing for the past week. William cheekily said "It was and I will remind him of his tardiness when he's a bit older because I know how long you have all been standing out here...so hopefully the hospital and you guys can all go back to normal now and we can look after him".
And with William already on nappy duty as Kate said "He's done the first nappy already, he's very good"; it looks like things are going off to a great start for the easy going couple, who looked very relaxed and at ease with their new roles as parents.
