Yesterday (April 23), the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge welcomed a baby boy and, a mere seven hours later, they left the hospital with him.
On the steps of the Lindo Wing, they showed the world and the media their sweet little prince—who even waved his fingers at the adoring crowds. Now, a professional lip reader for the the Mirror, has revealed what William and Kate were saying to each other during their quick photo call with their son.
William: Are you OK with him?
Kate: Yeah.
William: Look, there he is. Over there. [They wave to the left]
Kate: Let’s just wave over there. [They wave to the right]
Kate: Look, he is there. [They wave] It is a bit windy, eh? He might get cold. Let’s go now.
William: Sure.
It was quite clear that Kate was worried about her son getting chilly as she was seen tucking the knit blanket around his teeny fingers. And I don't blame William for worrying about his wife—how does she manage to look so put together just hours after giving birth?
William, Kate and the baby are all resting at home now after yesterday's whirlwind of a day! They had their very first visitor this morning—Auntie Pippa stopped by for a visit. Prince Charles is clearly delighted at having another grandchild. He released a statement this morning saying, "We are both so pleased at the news. It is a great joy to have another grandchild, the only trouble is I don’t know how I am going to keep up with them."
It's likely that the Queen will stop by later today or early tomorrow to meet her great-grandchild. Once she has met him, the couple will release his name. Right now, odds are on his name being Arthur. Prince Arthur has a lovely ring to it, don't you think?
While we wait for the name, take a look at all the adorable photos of the royal cutie.
Cutest photos of royal baby
Meet the Prince of Cambridge
The royal baby made his public debuted nestled in the arms of his mom.
Resplendent in red
Like with George and Charlotte’s birth, Kate chose a Jenny Packham dress for her son’s royal debut. And she looked gorgeous. How does she do it? The royal baby was wrapped in a blanket by GH Hurt and Son Ltd—the same company made blankets for Prince George and Princess Charlotte’s big debut.
Ready for his close-up
Look at those cheeks! All the Cambridge babies have adorable chubby cheeks and so does this little guy.
A few tears
The royal baby slept through most of his big debut, but he did get upset for a moment, but the Duchess quickly soothed him.
Royal wave
The couple waved to the crowds and you could see the baby’s tiny fingers peeking out as if he was giving his first royal wave.
Teeny fingers
Kate was every inch the proud mum, smiling at her baby boy. And look at his sweet little fingers.
Teeny fingers
Sorry, we are just suckers for baby fingers.
A slight chill
The little prince kept reaching his fingers out of his blanket, so Kate was quick to tuck the blanket around them so he wouldn’t catch a chill.
The look of love
The proud parents couldn’t help but beam at each other! Prince William said they were “very happy, delighted” over their son’s birth.
Private moment
Even though they are in front of the world’s media, Kate and William managed to steal a private moment as they marvelled over their son.
A little chat
The Duchess stopped to have a little chat with her new baby. Is this not the sweetest moment?
Heading home
After the photocall, William and Kate went back into the hospital to put their son in his car seat. Then hand-in-hand they left the hospital to make the 10-minute drive back to Kensington Palace.
The royal cheeks
As Prince William carried the baby to the car and put him in, he joked that he has “thrice the worries now!”
Who does he look like?
The wee royal baby looks quite like his big brother Prince George.
Sweet baby boy
The little prince is actually the biggest Cambridge baby weighing in at 8 pounds, 7 ounces. William and Kate have picked a name, but the new dad told reporters we have to wait to find out what it is!
The siblings arrive
Earlier in the day, Prince William quickly ran home to Kenington Palace to bring Prince George and Princess Charlotte to the hospital to meet their brother.
Shy George
George was a bit unsure of all the media and mostly stared at the ground with a sly smirk on his face.
Hello!
But Charlotte loved the attention and waved to the crowds of people.
One last wave
She even gave one quick final wave before heading in to meet her new brother.
