\"\"(AP) \u2014 Kensington Palace says the Duchess of Cambridge has given birth to her third child, a boy weighing 8 pounds, 7 ounces (3.8 kilograms).<\/p>\n

The new baby is fifth in line to the throne, behind his brother and sister.<\/p>\n

The palace says the child was born at 11:01 a.m. (1001 GMT; 6:01 a.m. EDT), a few hours after Kate was admitted to London’s St. Mary’s Hospital in labor.<\/p>\n

Prince William was present for the birth of his son, who is fifth in line to the throne.<\/p>\n

The palace says “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.”<\/p>\n

Prince George and Princess Charlotte have arrived at London’s St. Mary’s Hospital to meet their new baby brother.<\/p>\n

Prince William left the hospital Monday afternoon and returned half an hour later with his two elder children.<\/p>\n

George, who is 4, wore the navy blue shorts and sweater of his school uniform, and ignored the waiting media and well-wishers. Charlotte, who is almost 3, gave the crowd a wave as the family entered the hospital’s private Lindo Wing.<\/p>\n

British Prime Minister Theresa May has offered “warmest congratulations” to Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge on the birth of their new son.<\/p>\n

May says that “I wish them great happiness for the future.”<\/p>\n

The news brought cheers from dedicated royal-watchers outside London’s St. Mary’s Hospital, where a self-appointed town crier proclaimed the birth.<\/p>\n

The words “it’s a boy” were flashed in lights around the top of London’s BT Tower, which can be seen for miles around.<\/p>\n
