From the Washington Post:
The Duchess of Cambridge gave birth Monday to a boy, a much-anticipated royal baby descended from kings and coal miners and third in line to the British throne.
The royal heir was born at 4:24 p.m. London time and weighed 8 pounds, 6 ounces, the royal family announced. There was no immediate word on the boy’s name.
In a brief statement earlier Monday, officials at Kensington Palace said the royal formerly known as Kate Middleton was driven in a car to the private Lindo Wing of St. Mary’s Hospital near Paddington Station in West London, where the world press has been camped out for weeks in the hopes of getting a first glimpse of the littlest heir. Prince William rode with his wife to the hospital and remained by her side, a palace spokeswoman said.
Although that initial statement was issued at 7:29 a.m. local time, Catherine was admitted during the early stages of labor just before 6 a.m., the spokeswoman said. She is in the same wing of the same hospital where Diana, Princess of Wales, gave birth to Prince William 31 years ago after a 16-hour labor
The attending physician was Marcus Setchell, Queen Elizabeth II’s gynecologist, who reportedly put off retirement and went on a no-alcohol diet to prepare. As dictated by tradition, the palace made no further comment before the birth.
