Here’s what Kate Middleton and Prince William said to each other when they revealed the royal baby to the world
THE Duke and Duchess of Cambridge couldn’t contain their happiness as they introduced their third child, a boy, to the world.
William, 35, and Kate , 36, made their first appearance with the tot at 6pm on April 23 - just seven hours after their son was born at 11.01am.
Kate looked glowing as she beamed with her new baby in her arms, accompanied by William.
And a professional lip reader revealed to what the couple were saying to each other while they smiled for the cameras.
William: Are you OK with him?
Kate: Yeah.
William: Look, there he is. Over there. [They wave to the left]
Kate: Let’s just wave over there. [They wave to the right]
Kate: Look, he is there. [They wave] It is a bit windy, eh? He might get cold. Let’s go now.
William: Sure
Wills pointed at our legendary snapper Arthur Edwards outside the hospital - fuelling speculation that could be the name of the royal baby.
Kate's red dress was also the spitting image of the frock Prince William's late mother Diana wore following the birth of Prince Harry, 33, in September 1984.
It is not the first time Kate has taken style inspiration from Diana, the 20th anniversary of whose death was marked by William and Harry last year.
When she welcomed her first son, Prince George, in 2013 she wore a blue spotted Jenny Packham dress which was the spitting image of the gown Diana wore following William's birth.
Mum-of-three Kate went into labour first thing yesterday morning and the new prince was born at 11.01am weighing 8lb 7oz.

The Queen yesterday celebrated the birth of her latest great-grandchild with a horse back ride at Windsor Castle.
It's the first time in history that a boy will not precede his older sister in the line of succession, with Princess Charlotte remaining fourth, behind brother George.
Last month we told how Prince Charles fuelled rumours that his wife Camilla Barker Bowles might become queen, after a statement saying she will become "Princess Consort" was removed from his website.
