Baby Prince meets his Grandparents!

Tuesday 23rd July

He may be just 24 hours old but Baby Cambridge has already had some very excited visitors to the Lindo Wing on Tuesday.

First time Grandfather Prince Charles and his second wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall visited William, Catherine and their new son for the first time.

The couple had been in Yorkshire for official engagements when the baby was born and they made sure they could visit as soon as they could the next day.

It was the first time that the new first, second and third in line to the throne were in the same room.

"You've had a long wait," he joked to the waiting media.

 Prince Charles issued an official statement on Monday night: 

"Both my wife and I are overjoyed at the arrival of my first grandchild. It is an incredibly special moment for William and Catherine and we are so thrilled for them on the birth of their baby boy.

"Grandparenthood is a unique moment in anyone's life, as countless kind people have told me in recent months, so I am enormously proud and happy to be a grandfather for the first time and we are eagerly looking forward to seeing the baby in the near future."  

Earlier in the afternoon, Catherine's beaming parents Michael and Carole arrived at the hospital to meet their new grandson.
"He's absolutely beautiful," Carole said after the visit. "They're doing fabulously."
