Royal Baby: First Glimpse Of Kate's Young Prince

Prince William and his wife Kate have introduced their new son to the world and the public has been given its first glimpse of the future king.

The Duchess of Cambridge cradled their one-day-old boy in her arms as she and her husband walked down the steps of the Lindo Wing at London's St Mary's Hospital.

The couple posed for pictures and then she gently passed the baby, swaddled in a white blanket, to William as photographers continued to snap away.

They walked towards the waiting throngs of world media and the Prince told them jokingly in a relaxed fashion: "He's got a good pair of lungs on him, that's for sure. He's a big boy, he's quite heavy."

The Duke, 31, also revealed they had not yet decided what to call their son, saying: "We are still working on a name so we will have that as soon as we can."

He added: "It's the first time we have seen him really so we are having a proper chance to catch up."

The Duchess said: "It's very emotional, it's such a special time. I think any parent will know what this feeling feels like."

Her husband also told the media it was "very emotional" and "very special".

William, wearing a light blue shirt and dark trousers, added: "He's got her looks, thankfully," while Kate replied: "No, no, I'm not sure about that."

And the Prince joked: "He's got way more (hair) than me, thank God."

William cradles his infant son

His wife, who was wearing her sapphire and diamond engagement ring which once belonged to the late Diana, Princess of Wales, revealed he was a hands-on dad, saying he had already changed his first nappy.

The Lindo Wing was the same place where William and his brother Harry were born.

After speaking to reporters and waving at the large crowds, William and Kate then went back inside to put the third-in-line-to-the-throne in a baby seat.

Moments later, they came outside for a second time and the Duke placed the youngster in a waiting Range Rover.

A smiling Prince then got behind the wheel and 31-year-old Kate, who was sitting on the back seat, waved with her son next to her.

The family later returned home to Kensington Palace. Sky sources said a name for the baby would not be announced on Tuesday night.

The Royal baby, who will have the title Prince of Cambridge, was born at 4.24pm on Monday, weighing 8lb 6oz (3.798kg).

Kensington Palace officials later revealed that William had slept in the same room as the Duchess and was at her bedside during her labour. The couple had spent the rest of Monday getting to know the child and making phone calls to family.

On Tuesday, the child's grandparents visited the family separately.

The Prince waves to the crowds

Prince Charles, arriving with the Duchess of Cornwall, said his first grandchild was "marvellous", while Kate's mother Carole Middleton, accompanied by husband Michael, earlier told the media the child was "absolutely beautiful".

The first-time parents now want some private, quiet, time at Kensington Palace but it not known how long they will spend there.

Officials said the couple had been aware of the large media interest in the birth and had seen the papers on Tuesday morning.

Meanwhile, the Queen has said she was "thrilled" at the arrival of her great-grandson, according to a guest at a Buckingham Palace reception.

Large crowds turned out to see the family

Celebrations have taken place in London and across the country to honour the Royal arrival.

Guardsmen marked the changing of the guard outside Buckingham Palace by playing 'Congratulations' and gun salutes sounded across the capital to mark the special occasion.

The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery and the Honourable Artillery Company carried out the ceremonial royal salutes in honour of the new addition to the Royal Family.

This included a 41-gun salute at London's Green Park and 62 rounds fired at the Tower of London.
