They look like one very happy family. *sniffs and blames hayfever*
I'm still at it Xoch
...blames hormones
Oh bugga I can't, they were done and dusted a while ago!
I like that she came out holding her baby, (as opposed to when Charles did when Will was born,)....and that they look so genuinely happy, in love with each other and as if they REALLY like each other, bless 'em and their little boy
Kudos to Kate as well for not hiding her post-pregnancy baby bump - it's entirely natural and will disappear in about a week - hopefully more women will follow her example instead of trying to be stick thin again within hours 
I thought the same Pengy. 
This family have a great shot at modernising the royalty in time.
I really do think this family unit might be the one that saves the Royals
can't say I'm relishing King Charles

Awwww that was nice, I blubbered when she gave him to William and I'm still blubbering now, can't help thinking that his mum should be there
Me too.

I agree on both counts, Pengy.

Nor me Pengy, I still can't really forgive him for Diana, even 'though it was soooo unfair to him that he was in love with Camilla and had to marry a vestel virgin...at least these two look like they genuinely like each other
Aww bless he looks more like a 'Winston Churchill' baby than a pretty baby
Look at the size of that bonce! Winces and clenches!
I wonder why Will's said, it's the first time we've really seen him, or words to that effect?

I thought that was a bit strange and wondered if he meant they hadn't had long to get to know him and that's why they haven't yet decided on the name.

Me too..she actually looks like someone who has just given birth, (more pregnant than she did before, if that makes sense) ......and her milk has obviously come in
Watch the royal couple present their one-day-old son to the world's media.
And that was it - all over in under two minutes. Catherine, dressed in a blue maternity dress with fine white spots, walked back inside the hospital with William by her side in black jeans and a light blue shirt, carrying the baby.
Minutes later, William carries the baby in a car seat to the waiting royal vehicle parked immediately outside the hospital.
Catherine sat in the back next to her precious cargo and William drove his family back to Kensington Palace.

We may need some more tissues Mrs. H...I'm still at it!
Take a pack!

Ceasarean?
Special moment: Prince William and Kate waved and smiled broadly to the waiting cameras as they held their prince on the steps of the private Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital in London
Statement: William and Kate both spoke to the press and the Prince said 'thankfully he has her looks'
Close up: Kate held the baby as they descended the steps and revealed to waiting reporters they had not yet chosen a name
Happy trio: Kate told reporters that 'It's been very emotional. Any parent will know what this feeling is like' while the prince joked the baby 'has more hair than me'
Next destination: The Duke, Duchess and Baby Cambridge have gone to Kensington Palace for the next fortnight
New life: The baby was crying in its car seat as its father took him to their waiting car this evening
We may need some more tissues Mrs. H...I'm still at it!

I am

How the hell do they chose a name without offending anyone? I'm going for a real curve ball here and thinking they might put Francis in there somewhere, but maybe that's just because I would, if I were them: her dad's middle name and Diana's, (with an e,) 'Spencer' would be just too naff! My oh thinks George for the first name, I want Louis!

New life, happy couple, new hope for the future, lots of joyous moments to look forward to..would rather cry with happiness than with sadness!
Can't see it being Francis

No, I'm sure I heard earlier that it was a natural birth.
Why the chuffin' hell are journalists referring to the baby as 'it'? As they've done on the Beeb and in that article above.

It always makes me laugh when I hear that. Surely they could use the term 'the new prince' or simply 'the baby'.

Good, seriously hope she wasn't too posh to push, (unless, of course, that may have been necessary)
ION a 'random' woman came across to my sis' and I in Aldi, (of all places!) about a month or so ago and introduced herself as the midwife who remembered us from her first 'natural' birth. We got talking and she said that she was sooo frightened at the time as she'd never had a woman who had done that before, who had such a clear birth plan, where she was in control, and it was about what the mother wanted rather than the 'medics' being in control....We thought, at the time, how unaccommadating that they were. Just shows ye!
That baby is now, (after 3 different Uni courses, lots of travelling and working across the globe on women's issues, and then finally sticking to and getting a decent degree from Durham,) (that she was never going to do anything with!) about to commence in her third year at King's as a midwife!

100% agree Any new baby is a cause to celebrate and be happy .....and that little baby was born to be a King.
I think it's rather lovely - and they looked so happy.

I wondered about Will's comment too and thought (once I'd seen Kate) that she may have had a C-section. It would explain why they'd not seen him together (Kate exhausted after the procedure..?)
Or maybe they were faffing around with the little fella and doing XXX checks 'cos he's 3rd in line?
Sky News made me laugh: "The baby's not been named yet"
Yeah, as if the Royals are going to rush out and tell them immediately!
Still, he's a handsome chap (and fortunately nothing like his papa at that age)

Here I go again with personal stories; (!) When my twin sis had her first, Di was pregnant, there was a v young woman in the next bed who was on her third and, whilst we were beyond excited, no-one was that interested in hers, (not a bloody flower or card in sight,) so my sis, myself and my family made a v v BIG fuss of her. She was wondering about a name and thinking Charles, so my sis' suggested, (tongue in cheek) Charles, William, Arthur,George, (same as Prince Charles) and
that's what she chose
And the next part of the story is: 14 ish years later, those two babies ended up again next to each other in hospital beds, with broken legs......one relatively privileged, one not, can you imagine our faces when we saw "Charles Philip Arthur George xxxxx" on the name plate above his bed

The name must be a nightmare, but bloody hell they have had 9 months to think about it..get on with it!
Wonders if it had been a girl that Catherine would have had a pink dress and Will a pink shirt!

This should be in the 'things you don't want to start a thread about' or one of the 'kit' threads... shouldn' it?..But i don't do those!
Aww,,, aren't they sweet? and so normal - can't see Charles swinging a car seat into the back seat so naturally and driving his family home like that. I agree with the sentiments that they're the best thing to happen to the monarchy in a long time. I know she planned a natural birth (well.. the papers told me) - do you think she'd have been going home so quickly, and carrying the baby unaided if she's had a section? I know she's not going to have to do anything, but I seem to remember when my mate had hers she moved a bit gingerly for good wee while afterwards - nobody even helped Kate into the car
I think they should call him Alfred.. and he could be Alfie or Freddie. Seem they only get to pick from about half a dozen names though if the betting's anything to go by
oh... and I'm glad they're going to Kensington Palace and not her mum's as was reported. I think mums and Ma in laws should be there to do housework if required, but otherwise butt out and let mum and dad get on with it on their own.

I don't think the baby will be known as Charles or George even if they decide to christen him with either of those names. There's already a Freddie Windsor so that might be a no-no too.

Love it. Except Cilla might do a re-release

I think he probably would now Kaffs, if only he had ever had a chance to be 'rea.l' I noticed that Wills seriously dropped an aitch tonight..can you imagine that when you watch the BBC announcements of days gone by?

Ha, ha..imagines Quennie with a Dyson and Duster
