Middleton wore a white silk dress with yellow flowers (Jenny Packham, of course) and Stuart Weitzman heels while she held the pint-sized princess (who was wrapped in a white blanket and wearing a white hat). The couple stood briefly, waving and smiling, then disappeared through the hospital doors. A few minutes later, they walked out again, climbed into their car, and drove away.

The duchess was admitted to the Lindo Wing at St. Mary’s Hospital’s in London in the late hours of Friday, May 1 and after a short labor — 3 hours — the baby was born on Saturday, May 2, at 8:34 am BST. Her Royal Highness weighs 8 pounds, 3 ounces.

Along with keeping fans updated on Twitter, Kensington Palace announced the birth via email: “The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Harry and members of both families have been informed and are delighted with the news. Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well.”

A town crier in costume also shared the news outside the hospital. “May our princess be long-lived, happy and glorious,” he said to the crowd chanting “Princess! Princess!”

Paternal grandparents Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla expressed their excitement through the Royal Press Association, saying they were “absolutely delighted” by the arrival.

When Prince George was born in 2013, Middleton and Prince William posed for their first family photo on the steps of St. Mary’s. Middleton looked flawless wearing a light blue polka dot Jenny Packham dress, a sleek blowout, and nude heels. On Saturday, she was equally glowing as the family of three became four.

Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge!
