Talk about a Royal welcome!
Just seven hours after she gave birth for the third time, Kate Middleton stepped out on Monday with her husband by her side and her brand new son in arms.
As previously detailed on The Hollywood Gossip, Middleton gave birth at 11:01 a.m. British time to a boy who weighed in at 8 pounds, 7 ounces.
We did not immediately know the royal baby’s name (we NOW do!) but it was clear from the start that he’s precious and adorable and so very loved.
Just hours after giving birth, Middleton appeared on the steps of the Lindo Wing at St. Mary’s Hospital on Monday evening to show the bundle of joy off.
Kate donned a lovely red dress for the occasion – but, for once, eyes were not on the Duchess’ fashion choice.
Instead, they were all fixated on the tiny human being held close and guarded safely.
Check out the adorable photos now!

All Smiles

Kate and William have one special reason to look this happy in this photo. And that reason is resting in his mom’s arms.
The Royal Welcome

At the time this photo was snapped, Kate and William had not yet told the world the name of their child. But he sure is cute!
Kate and Her Kid

Does it get any more precious than this?!? The Royal Family has given us this glimpse of Kate Middleton cradling her son.
I’ve Got 3 Now!

How many kids do I now have? Three, Prince William tells his fans in this photo. You can tell how proud he is.
Here… He…Is!

It’s the snapshot we’ve all been waiting for, as William, Kate and baby number-three greet their fans in London.
And Baby Makes Three

We’re so very happy for William and Kate. We can’t wait to get to know their son well as the years go on.
Carried by Dad

Prince William is holding two precious things here: his new baby… and the hand of the woman who brought him into the world.
Oh, Royal Baby

Can you believe Kate Middleton had this baby just seven hours before she debuted him for the public? She’s a superhero.
Checking in on Kate

“Are you okay, honey? Are you holding up alright? Do you want to go inside and actually get some rest after giving birth to a human?”
Simply. Amazing.

Does it get any more awe-inspiring than this?
The Official Announcement

An official notice here was placed on an easel in the forecourt of Buckingham Palace, following the announcement that the Duchess of Cambridge has given birth to a baby boy at St Mary’s Hospital on April 23, 2018 in London, England. Hooray!
One Final Wave

And, with this, the Royal Couple went back inside the hospital to care for their newborn.
Prince George Flashback

For comparison’s sake a bit, this was a photo released by the Royal Family during Prince George’s christening.
What About Charlotte?
Here she is as a baby. Do you see any resemblance to her second brother?
George and Charlotte!
This is one of our favorite photos ever taken. It will likely be eclipsed, however, by the first photo of George, Charlotte and their sibling.
CONGRATULATIONS!

We could not be happier for Kate and William. We wish them health, happiness and all the sleep possible with a newborn at home.
