The latest addition to the royal family has been taken home to Kensington Palace with his proud parents Kate and William.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge emerged from St Mary’s Hospital with their new baby son last night to cheers from well wishers. The Duchess said it was “a special time for any parent”.

Kate gave birth to baby Cambridge on Monday afternoon and has since been visited by her parents, sister and members of the Royal family.

The couple have yet to announce the name of their first born, who is third in line to the throne.
