The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge emerged on the steps outside the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital shortly after 6pm this evening (left), where the world was given a brief glimpse of the new princess (centre), whose name is yet to be announced. The newest royal, who appeared wrapped tightly in a white blanket, was born at 8.34am today weighing 8lbs and 3oz - less than three hours after the Duchess was admitted to hospital. Kate, 33, wore a yellow and white dress and smiled for the cameras (right) while Prince William looked in admiration at their second child and first daughter. Their eldest, Prince George, was taken to meet his newborn sister earlier today where he offered a timid wave to the gathered crowds from the hospital steps, before he was whisked home for his bath and tea by his nanny.
