We have been given the first glimpse of Kate and William's third child and Baby Cambridge is just gorgeous. The newest addition to the Royal Family made his arrival this morning at 11:01 am.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge thanked the hospital staff, "Their Royal Highnesses would like to thank all staff at the hospital for the care and treatment they have received. They would also like to thank everyone for their warm wishes."
Just the best. #RoyalBaby pic.twitter.com/vcKbrmME3e

This is the first time in history that a prince will be behind a princess in the line of succession. Kate and William's baby boy is fifth-in-line to the throne, ahead of his uncle, Prince Harry.
The birth of the baby marks the Queen becoming a great-grandmother for the sixth time.
