Royal baby update: The wait is over, it's a boy

The couple's son was delivered today at the private Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital in Paddington with his proud father, Prince William, looking on.

The long-awaited baby will be given the title His Royal Highness and be known as Prince of Cambridge, after the Queen moved earlier this year to change almost a century of royal tradition. She issued a formal proclamation in January to end a convention brought in by George V which meant that a royal title was restricted to the children of the sovereign and the children of the sovereign's sons.
