Kate is radiant in red as she introduces her new Prince to the world

23/4/2018

The world has a new Prince!  Just before 6 PM (BST) the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge stepped out of the Lindo Wing to show off their new bundle of joy.

Within 12 hours of being admitted to hospital, Kate emerged from St Mary's Hospital looking radiant while holding her precious baby boy.   The Duchess opted to wear a bespoke red Jenny Packham shift dress finished with a white lace Peter Pan collar.
Picture
Here's a look at the back of the dress.
Picture
You may recall that the Duchess wore bespoke pieces from Jenny Packham for her previous Lindo Wing exits.  In 2013 she wore a cornflower blue polka dot frock following the birth of Prince George and in 2015 she wore a yellow floral pattered shift dress when she left the hospital with Princess Charlotte.

Today's colour combination of red and white could be a nod to Saint George's Day which is today and symbolized by the red and white St. George's Cross (Flag of England). Or as some have suggested the look could be a nod to Princess Diana following the birth of her second son Prince Harry.
Picture
Today Kate wore her praline Gianvito Rossi 'Gianvito 85' suede pumps which have a pointed-toe and modest heel height.
Picture
She finished the look with the Queen's diamond stud and pearl drop earrings.

The baby weighs 8lbs 7oz.

The Duke of Cambridge was present for the birth.

Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well.

Fans outside the front of the Lindo Wing could not contain their excitement!

As is tradition, a framed notice of the birth also went on display on a ceremonial easel in the forecourt of Buckingham Palace.

At 4 pm, The Duke of Cambridge left the Lindo Wing to return home to Kensington Palace to pick up Prince George and Prince Charlotte.
