Kate Middleton & Prince William Present Royal Baby
As royal sources announced prior to the baby’s birth, Kate and William introduced their baby to the world on the steps of St. Mary’s Hospital, as thousands of spectators and photographers looked on, excited to catch a glimpse of the baby boy. The royal baby was unveiled on July 23 as the new family left the hospital, one day after Kate gave birth.
Kate looked great — especially only one day after having a baby! — in a perfectly appropriate baby blue polka-dot dress, glowing while showing off her newborn. William definitely filled the role of supportive husband and doting father as he stood by her side in a matching baby blue button-down shirt.
William’s late mother Princess Diana also wore polka dots when she carried baby William out, so we’re thinking it could have been a tribute. She was dawning the beautiful sapphire ring that once belonged to Diana, as well.

“He’s got a good pair of lungs! He’s a big boy, he’s quite heavy,” William joked while cradling the baby.
William stated that it has been a “very emotional” experience. The Duchess added in, “Any parent knows what this feeling feels like.”
“Luckily, he’s got his mom’s looks,” William added in with a laugh. “He’s got more hair than me!” He also added in that the new prince “got her looks, thankfully.”
“He’s done his first nappy [diaper],” Kate proudly said of her husband. She also said the birth “was very emotional. It is such a special time.”
