Prince William, Kate Middleton Welcome Third Child
Prince William and Kate Middleton just welcomed a baby.
The royal family announced that the Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to a son at St. Mary's Hospital at 11:01 a.m. local time on Monday, April 23, 2018. The baby boy weighed 8 pounds and 7 ounces. "The Duke of Cambridge was present for the birth," a tweet from Kensington Palace noted. "Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well."
Another post shared that family members had been told of the happy news and "are delighted."
At the time of this writing, the child's name has not yet been released.
As noted by CNN, the newborn is the fifth in line to the British throne, after his grandfather Prince Charles, his father, his 4-year-old brother Prince George, and his 2-year-old sister Princess Charlotte.
Middleton previously revealed her pregnancy with her third child with Prince William back in September 2017 (via People). She later shared that she was expected to give birth in April. Throughout her pregnancy, Middleton, who battled Hyperemesis Gravidarum (a severe form of morning sickness) during her first trimester, impressed the public with her stylish maternity wear, proving that — no matter what — she'll always be a fashion icon.
Congratulations to Prince William and Kate Middleton on the birth of their baby!
