Prince George of Cambridge (George Alexander Louis;[fn 1] born 22 July 2013) is the only child of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. The only grandchild of Charles, Prince of Wales, and Diana, Princess of Wales, he is third in line to succeed his great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, after his grandfather and father.

Announcement and birth

Easel outside Buckingham Palace. The announcement read: "Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge was safely delivered of a son at 4.24 p.m. today. Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well."

On 3 December 2012, St James's Palace announced that the Duchess of Cambridge was expecting her first child. At less than twelve weeks, the announcement was made earlier in the pregnancy than is traditional because of her admission to hospital with acute morning sickness.[2][3]

The Duchess was admitted to St Mary's Hospital, London, in the early stages of labour on the morning of 22 July 2013.[4][5] She gave birth to a boy weighing 8 pounds 6 ounces (3.80 kg) at 16:24 BST (15:24 UTC) later the same day.[6][7] The Duke was by his wife's side when she gave birth,[8] and he took the full two weeks' paternity leave from his job as an RAF search and rescue pilot, allowed by the Ministry of Defence.[9]

The birth took place in the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital, Paddington—the same hospital in which Prince William and his brother, Prince Harry, were born to Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1982 and 1984, respectively. The Queen's former gynaecologist, Marcus Setchell, delivered the baby assisted by Guy Thorpe-Beeston, Sunit Godambe and Physician to the Queen John Cunningham.[6][8][10]

The customary formal bulletin announcing the royal birth was displayed on an easel outside Buckingham Palace, although in a break with tradition the news was first conveyed in a press release from Palace officials.[7][11] Gun salutes signalled the birth in Bermuda,[12] in London,[13] in New Zealand,[14] and in Canada;[15] the bells of Westminster Abbey and many other churches were rung;[16][17] and iconic landmarks in the Commonwealth realms were illuminated in various colours, mostly blue to signify the birth of a boy.[18][19][20][21][22] Before the birth there was speculation that it would boost the national economy and provide a focus for national pride.[23][24] Welsh composer Paul Mealor, who composed "Ubi Caritas et Amor" for the wedding of the Duke and Duchess, composed a lullaby entitled "Sleep On", with lyrics by Irish composer Brendan Graham. A recording was made of it by New Zealand soprano Hayley Westenra as a gift for the baby.[25][26][27] Commemorative coins were issued by the Royal Mint, Royal Canadian Mint, and Royal Australian Mint;[28][29][30] the first time a royal birth had been marked that way.[28]

The Duchess and her baby, accompanied by the Duke, left hospital on 23 July,[31] and Prince George's name was announced as George Alexander Louis the following day.[32][33][34] His baptism was performed by the Archbishop of Canterbury in the Chapel Royal at St James's Palace on 23 October 2013, with Oliver Baker, Emilia Jardine-Paterson, Earl Grosvenor, Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, Julia Samuel, William van Cutsem and Zara Tindall serving as godparents.[35][36] The ceremony used a font that was made for Queen Victoria's first child and water from the River Jordan.[37] The Royal Mint will be releasing a further set of commemorative coins to celebrate the christening, the first time that new coins will be produced to mark a royal christening in Britain.[38]

Title and style

Prince George's official title is His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge.[39][40] While his name was announced two days after his birth, he was from birth a British prince entitled to the style of Royal Highness under letters patent issued by King George V in 1917[41] and Queen Elizabeth II in 2012.[42][43] As with other children born to royal dukes, Prince George's territorial designation is taken from his father's title,[39] in this case "Cambridge" from Duke of Cambridge.[44] Prince George is currently heir to the titles Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus as the eldest son of the current holder.

Ancestry

Prince George's paternal ancestors are royal and aristocratic. Through his paternal grandfather, Charles, Prince of Wales, he is a member of the House of Windsor. Through his paternal grandmother, Diana, Princess of Wales, he descends from the Spencer family, whose members include the Earls Spencer, Earls of Sunderland, and Dukes of Marlborough.[45][46] He is third in line to succeed his great-grandmother, Elizabeth II, as monarch of the 16 Commonwealth realms,[47][48] being preceded by his paternal grandfather and father.[8][49] He is her third great-grandchild, after Savannah and Isla Phillips, and her first great-grandson.[50]
