The child was born on Monday, after many Britons woke up to the news that Princess Kate had gone into labour with the couple\u2019s first child.<\/p>\n

The birth announcement, via a press release from Kensington Palace, said the boy was born at 4.24 p.m. weighing 8 pounds 6 ounces.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The royal birth recalled that of the baby\u2019s father, William, in 1982, at the same central London hospital. Many remember the moment when he was carried out in his mother Princess Diana\u2019s arms with proud father Prince Charles at their side.<\/p>\n

Prince William and Princess Kate\u2019s son is expected to follow Prince Charles and Prince William to the throne.<\/p>\n

No one can tell what political and personal changes the intervening years will bring, but the baby can be expected to become the head of state of 16 countries, including Britain, Australia and Canada, and possibly the head of the Commonwealth, which covers 54 nations.<\/p>\n

The child will also eventually become Supreme Governor of the Church of England.<\/p>\n

The baby represents a living link to Britain\u2019s imperial history the infant is the great-great-great-great-great-grandchild of Queen Victoria, who ruled at the peak of British power.<\/p>\n

Many Britons had hoped that Prince William and Princess Kate would start a family shortly after their gala 2011 wedding, which drew a global television audience in the hundreds of millions.<\/p>\n

The couple waited, however, until Prince William was nearly finished with his military work as a search and rescue helicopter pilot based at an air base in a remote island off the coast of Wales.<\/p>\n

That allowed Princess Kate to ease into royal life, and to become more comfortable in the spotlight, before becoming a parent. It also allowed her to play a supporting role during Queen Elizabeth II\u2019s Diamond Jubilee celebrations last summer.<\/p>\n

The first months of her pregnancy were not easy, and she was hospitalised in early December with acute morning sickness that left her weak and dehydrated.<\/p>\n

She seemed to recover her stamina fairly quickly and made a series of public appearances until the final weeks before giving birth, drawing praise for her poise and good cheer.<\/p>\n

The royal couple and their newborn are expected to spend much of their time in the coming years in renovated quarters at Kensington Palace, where Prince William and Prince Harry also spent much of their childhood.<\/p>\n

Royal officials say Princess Kate and Prince William will try to give their child as normal an upbringing as possible which may be challenging in an age when the British royals are treated as major world celebrities. <\/p>\n
