Kate Middleton and Prince William's third baby is officially here [1]! On Monday morning, Kensington Palace confirmed on Twitter that the duchess checked into the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital [2] in London. Shortly after, Kate gave birth to a baby boy weighing 8 lb. 7 oz. The hospital holds special significance for Kate and Prince William as it's the same place where Prince George [3] and Princess Charlotte [4] were born. Now, it's only a matter of time before we get to meet the new royal!

Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge was admitted to St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington, London earlier this morning in the early stages of labour.

The Duchess travelled by car from Kensington Palace to the Lindo Wing at St. Mary's Hospital with The Duke of Cambridge.
