Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge emerged from the hospital late on Tuesday and presented their infant to the crowds who had gathered outside the building for days.
As Kate clutched the baby boy, who was swaddled in a white blanket, she patted him gently as the two new parents beamed and faced the cheering onlookers. Dressed in a blue dress with white polka dots, she then handed him to Prince William, who walked closer to the crowds and spoke, describing the birth as very emotional.
Itâs a âspecial time, any parent knows what this feeling feels like,â she said.
Prince William, acknowledging the fact that journalists and crowds had waited for days to see the infant, said: âI will remind him of his tardiness when he is a bit older.â
He then joked about the babyâs appearance, saying the baby resembled his wife.
And then, apparently speaking about the babyâs hair, the Prince said: âHeâs got way more than me.â
They did not announce a name.
The couple later re-emerged with the infant belted into a car seat, and the new family left the hospital by car.
