A Buckingham Palace spokesman says to E! News, “The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh are delighted at the news.”
Middleton and Prince William arrived at the hospital at 6:00 AM shortly after going into labor. The latter, who was in beside Kate all the while, joined in entering the hospital through the side door from a two-car convoy from the Kensington Palace.
