New parents Kate Middleton and Prince William debuted the Royal Baby just moments ago, posing outside the hospital door with the young one.

One day after his birth, the as-yet-unnamed Prince of Cambridge made his global debut outside the Lindo Wing at St. Mary’s Hospital in London.

Palace reps confirmed that “the Duchess is to be discharged from the hospital.”

The new family are expected to briefly go back inside the facility, put the newborn in his car seat, and then head home to Kensington Palace this evening.

Royals. They’re just like us.

Kate Middleton and Prince William, both 31, smiled for hundreds of cameras and cheering well-wishers while offering the first glimpse of their little one.

 

“He’s got a good pair of lungs on him that’s for sure. He’s a good boy, he’s quite heavy,” said William of his son, who Kate gave birth to on Monday.

The youngster weighed a healthy 8 lbs., 6 oz. “It’s the first time we’ve seen him, really we haven’t had a proper chance to catch up,” William added.

Added the tired, but glowing new mother, “It’s such a special time.”

“I think any parent probably sort of knows what this feeling is like.”

William added: “I’ll remind him of his tardiness when he’s a bit older!”

Well played, you guys. Then there was this zinger:

Added William: “He’s got her looks, thankfully.”

As for the name, he said they’re “still working on” one. So don’t hold your breath for that announcement today … though they’ll likely pick one soon!

Back in 1982, an infant William made his own world debut as parents Princess Diana and Prince Charles introduced him on the very same steps.

Diana wore polka dots, not unlike Kate today.

Kate and William acknowledged the hard work of the staff at St. Mary’s in a statement earlier, and we eagerly await more details on their bundle of joy.
