    Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, have thanked hospital staff who helped deliver their third child

    The 36-year-old Duchess gave birth to the couple's as-yet unnamed third child and second son on Monday (23.04.18) morning, and in a statement posted on Twitter, the pair have expressed their gratitude to everyone at St. Mary's hospital in Paddington, London, who helped deliver their child


    A post on Kensington Palace's Twitter page read: "Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge will be leaving St. Mary's Hospital this evening. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their son will travel home to Kensington Palace.

    "Their Royal Highnesses would like to thank all staff at the hospital for the care and treatment they have received. They would also like to thank everyone for their warm wishes."

    Earlier in the day, the couple's other two children, Prince George, four, and Princess Charlotte, two, had arrived at the hospital to meet their new baby brother, and the same Twitter update also confirmed they have now returned home to Kensington Palace.

    Catherine and William, 35, welcomed their son at just after 11am on Monday, and the news was confirmed in another statement on Twitter.

    It read: "Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge was safely delivered of a son at 1101hrs.

    "The baby weighs 8lbs 7oz.

    "The Duke of Cambridge was present for the birth.

    "Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well."

    Both William and Catherine's families are "delighted" with the new addition to the household.

    The statement concluded: "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."

    News of the impending birth was confirmed on Monday morning, when it was revealed that the Duchess had gone into labour.

    A statement read: "Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge was admitted to St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington, London earlier this morning in the early stages of labour.

    "The Duchess travelled by car from Kensington Palace to the Lindo Wing at St. Mary's Hospital with The Duke of Cambridge."
