Prince Charles has visited the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and his new grandson in hospital in west London.
The arrival of the Prince of Wales, accompanied by the Duchess of Cornwall, came two hours after the duchess’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, became the first visitors.
The prince said the baby was “marvellous” while Mrs Middleton said he was “absolutely beautiful”.
The new family are to leave hospital this evening for Kensington Palace.
Speaking to reporters as she left the hospital, Mrs Middleton said mother and baby were “both doing really well – we are so thrilled”.
She added her first cuddle with her new grandson had been “amazing” and said the new parents were doing “fabulously”.
There has been no word yet on what the couple plan to name the prince and asked if she had been told, Mrs Middleton said: “Absolutely not”.
