On July 22, 2013, Catherine, Princess of Wales (then Duchess of Cambridge), and Prince William welcomed their first child, Prince George Alexander Louis, into the world. Born at 4:24 p.m. at the Lindo Wing of St. Mary's Hospital in London, Prince George weighed 8 pounds, 6 ounces. His birth was highly anticipated by both the public and the media, as he was born third in line to the British throne, following his father, Prince William, and his grandfather, Prince Charles. Prince George’s birth was announced in traditional royal fashion, with an official bulletin placed on an easel outside Buckingham Palace. His arrival was seen as a continuation of the modern monarchy, blending royal traditions with the younger generation’s more accessible image. Two days after his birth, the royal couple appeared on the steps of the hospital with their newborn, offering the world its first glimpse of the future king. #MomentsOfLife #MoofLife_Moment #MoofLife #PrinceGeorge #RoyalBaby #BritishMonarchy
