Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to first child today at St. Mary's Hospital in London.
An envoy of the British royal family announced the good news by proclamation signed by doctors who helped give birth to His Royal Highness the Prince of Cambridge.
Kensington Palace announced that the couple's first child weighed 3.7 pounds and arrived at 16h24 local time.
"Her Royal Highness and her child are doing well and spend the night in the maternity ward," said the press release.
A spokesman for Buckingham Palace said: "The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh are delighted with this news."
Middleton came to the maternity to 6 am local time, at the first signs of labor . She was accompanied by her husband, who remained at his side throughout the birth. They both entered the hospital from behind, leaving Kensington Palace with a two-car convoy.
The palace has announced plans to make a last minute change on the announcement of the birth. Traditionally, the new birth is posted on the gates of the palace by a messenger from the palace - on the same bridge used when William was born, 31 years ago - inside the main gate to the press. But this time, an official announcement was made before the report signed by the medical staff posted.
The notice will always remain visible on the bridge for 24 hours before it is sent to the Privy Council (the Queen's Counsel, who are members of Parliament).
Baby Kate and Will is the first grand-son of Prince Charles , and this is the third great-grand-son of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip .
The days of the 31st anniversary of Kate, this year, the Queen made a historic decision for the child to become the heir to the throne, regardless of sex, in a statement saying: "All the children eldest son of the Prince of Wales Wales enjoy the style, title and attribute of Royal Highness with the dignity of Prince or Princess before their name. "
This decree reverses the previous rule set up by the grandfather of Elizabeth, King George V, which would have prevented a girl - even the first born - become princess (well, an official princess, anyway).
Kate gave birth in a private suite Lindo wing at St. Mary's Hospital, the same place where Princess Diana took William and Harry.
It is very likely that the world discovered the baby Kate and Will on the doorstep of the hospital, where William's face was also unveiled in the arms of his mother.
A special area will be reserved for the press to wait, they will certainly do until the whole family goes home.
