He’s here! I’m one of the many that loves everything about the Royal Family and have been waiting anxiously for Kate to give birth. The wait is now over, as the baby boy was born at 4:24pm London time. Yes, a boy! So many reports were speculating girl and I was thinking pink all the way. While the baby is still unnamed (and could be for up to days) we did get a few more details on the royal birth. Here is the Twitter announcement from the Palace: “Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge was safely delivered of a son at 4.24pm. The baby weighs 8lbs 6oz. The Duke of Cambridge was present for the birth. The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Harry & families have been told and are delighted. Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well and will remain in hospital overnight.”
Congrats to Will and Kate, and I’ll be looking forward to seeing the baby and finding out his name!
Samantha,
So excited that the royal baby has finally arrived! A fine son, and both mother and child are doing well. Their (expected) appearance tomorrow at the door of the Lindo Wing of St. Mary’s Paddington Hospital will certainly evoke memories of when William himself arrived 31 years ago, and Diana and Charles introduced him to the world.
Welcome to the heir! While I had fingers crossed for a girl (to witness history in the making with the change in line of succession), I congratulate the royal couple and am so happy they have been blessed with a healthy baby son.

I’m so thrilled to watch them come out, Kathleen! I was also hoping girl for that reason, but any healthy baby is always excellent news 🙂
