Royal Couple Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have begun introducing their new prince to family members, even as the world awaits an announcement on the new baby's name.
Prince William and Kate have retreated to the sanctuary of Kensington Palace after showing off their third child to the world on the steps of the Lindo Wing.
As the Duke and Duchess settle into life as a family of five, the first visitors began arriving at their west London home on Tuesday. Pippa Middleton, the Duchess's sister, was the first to be pictured after meeting the as-yet-unnamed baby.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could have been the first to visit as they are neighbours at Kensington Palace. The new baby prince's great-grandmother the Queen, 92, is still at Windsor Castle with the Duke of Edinburgh who is recuperating after a hip operation.
Prince Charles said in a statement on Tuesday afternoon that he and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, are "both so pleased at the news". He added: "It is a great joy to have another grandchild, the only trouble is I don’t know how I am going to keep up with them."
The name of the baby Prince of Cambridge, who was born on Monday at 11.01am weighing 8lb 7oz, has yet to be unveiled. Royals traditionally keep the public guessing before revealing their choice and William and Kate will want to share the name with the Queen and the rest of their family before making it public.
Kensington Palace said the name would be announced in "due course" but the favourite at the bookies is currently Arthur, followed by James, Philip and Albert.
Born fifth in line, the baby is the Queen and Philip's sixth great-grandchild and Kensington Palace said the couple, along with the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Harry, and the Middletons, were delighted with the news of the new arrival.
