It’s been a wonderful year of wedding bells and babies for the royal family this year.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s third baby Prince Louis Arthur Charles was born on April 23 in the Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington.
“Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge was safely delivered of a son at 1101hrs,” Kensington Palace announced. Prince Louis weighed 8 pounds 7 ounces at birth, more than Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
