William and Kate show off their baby girl [View all]

Babies! Why the heck not? The new British princess (and therefore appropriate for GD)

How does she do it? Speedy Kate Middleton emerges with new baby daughter looking immaculate - just 12 hours after she arrived at hospital and 10 hours after giving birth to 8lb 3oz second child

Prince William and Kate Middleton have taken their new daughter home just hours after she was born today

Prince George offered a shy wave as he arrived at the Lindo Wing this afternoon to meet his little sister

It is the first time George has been seen in the UK publicly since his own birth at the hospital in 2013

Kate, 33, gave birth to a baby girl at 8.34am less than three hours after being admitted to the Lindo Wing

Congrats to the couple and Britain
