All The Cutest Photos Of Kate, William And The Newest Royal Baby
At just seven hours old, the Prince of Cambridge has made his royal debut. Nestled in the arms of his mom, the Duchess of Cambridge, the royal baby looked quite comfy in a knit blanket and hat.
He was fast asleep for his big moment, but he was sweetly playing with his fingers and looked to be giving a wave to the public. Kate was clearly worried about him catching a chill as she tucked the blanket around his teeny fingers.
Kate was beaming and looked amazing in a custom red Jenny Packham dress with a white Peter Pan-style collar. She has chosen Jenny Packham for all three of the royal births. For Prince George she wore a sky blue polka dot dress and for Princess Charlotte she wore a buttercup yellow and white floral dress.
After the quick photocall, the couple went back inside the hospital to put the baby in his car seat before coming out hand in hand. William put the baby in the backseat like the pro dad he is, though he joked with reporters that he has “thrice the worry now!” Kate climbed in the backseat and then William drove his family home to Kensington Palace.
The little prince met his big brother and sister earlier in the day, but will get snuggles and kisses from them at home. He will get lots of visitors over the coming days, including a visit from the Queen.
Now, what about a name. When someone asked, William said “You’ll find it out later.” William and Kate usually announce it two days after the baby’s birth. But the top contenders are Arthur or Albert.

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

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.
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 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.
