Royal Baby Arrives At Kate's Parents' House

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have travelled with the Royal baby to Bucklebury to spend time with Kate's parents.

The couple, who were driven from Kensington Palace in a black Range Rover, set off shortly after the Queen met her great grandson for the first time.

The as-yet-unnamed baby, who was born at the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital, London, on Monday, also met his uncle, Prince Harry, before his parents made the 50-mile trip to Berkshire.

The Queen previously said she was "thrilled" by the arrival of the future king, who is third in line to the throne.

It is possible William and Kate may have told Her Majesty what they intend to call their son during her visit, bringing the world a step closer to finding out the baby's name.

Harrison said it would have been a "very special moment" and an "extremely emotional time" for the Queen.

"We knew the Queen was keen to finally get to meet her great grandson but it was important for her, and certainly for William and Kate, for the baby to stay out of the public gaze for the time being," he said.

"After that huge photocall outside the Lindo Wing on Tuesday, the Duke and Duchess want to spend time getting used to becoming a mum and dad and getting the baby settled."

The Queen arrived without the Duke of Edinburgh, who continues to recover at Windsor Castle after exploratory abdominal surgery.

She made the short journey from Buckingham Palace, where she has been staying before leaving for Balmoral for her traditional Scottish summer break, in a dark green Bentley.

Historically, she would have had to approve the name of any Royal baby and although that is no longer the case, the Duke and Duchess are still likely to reveal their son's name to her before announcing it publicly.

The Queen and Prince Harry are the latest in a line of visitors to meet the future monarch.

Kate's parents Michael and Carole Middleton were the first to be introduced to the newborn, followed later on Tuesday by William's father Prince Charles, who was accompanied by his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall.

Pippa Middleton, Kate's sister, met her nephew when the couple arrived at Kensington Palace.

Earlier, William and Kate took turns to cradle their baby as the family posed for pictures on the steps of the Lindo Wing.

The Duke, who drove his wife and son from the hospital, told reporters: "He's got a good pair of lungs on him, that's for sure. He's a big boy, he's quite heavy."

"It's very emotional, it's such a special time," the Duchess added. "I think any parent will know what this feeling feels like."

After the excitement of the Royal baby's first public appearance, a spokesman for Kensington Palace said William and Kate were now focused solely on caring for their firstborn.

"This is now a private and quiet time for them to get to know their son," the spokesman said.
