Hey there, royal enthusiasts! There’s a new bundle of joy in London, and this time, it’s a little prince for Kate Middleton and Prince William. The royal couple welcomed their third child, and second son, on Monday, April 23, at St. Mary’s Hospital. Let’s dive into the details about this new addition to the royal family, how he compares to his siblings, and what’s next for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Comparing the Royal Babies: How Do They Stack Up?
Now, here’s something fascinating. The weight of the royal babies is surprisingly consistent. When Prince George arrived in July 2013, he weighed in at 8 pounds, 6 ounces. Not to be outdone, Princess Charlotte came into the world in May 2015, tipping the scales at 8 pounds, 3 ounces. But this new prince? Well, he’s the heavyweight champ of the trio! According to the official statement from Kensington Palace, the baby boy weighed 8 pounds, 7 ounces. Born at 11:01 AM, the Duke of Cambridge was right there to witness the birth of his newest son.

The official statement continued, sharing the joyous news with the world: “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.” It’s heartwarming to know that the entire royal family is celebrating this beautiful moment together.
Where Were the Older Siblings During the Birth?
While the new prince was making his grand entrance, his siblings were going about their usual routines. According to People, Prince George was at school, probably oblivious to the excitement brewing at the hospital. Meanwhile, Princess Charlotte was at home at Kensington Palace, perhaps eagerly awaiting the arrival of her new brother.
The Royal Mystery: What’s the Name?
Now, the million-dollar question on everyone’s mind—what’s the baby’s name? British bookmakers have their guesses, with Albert and Arthur being the top contenders. Philip is also in the running, perhaps as a tribute to the late Duke of Edinburgh. But here’s a fun twist—Prince William seemed to accidentally reveal the baby’s gender during a soccer match. When Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish scored a winning goal, William joked that he’d "insist the baby is called Jack." He quickly added, "Or Jackie!" Talk about keeping things light-hearted!
