The royal baby has met his grandparents!
Lindo Wing-watchers spotted Kate's parents Carole and Michael Middleton arriving at the hospital via taxi shortly after 3pm local time on Tuesday. They were greeted by Lindo Wing's lead clinician Jonathan Ramsay upon entry.
All signs lead to an imminent hospital departure for Will and Kate, and the new parents are expected to leave the hospital either after 6 pm tonight or early tomorrow morning.
The Middletons spoke to the press upon leaving the hospital. Carole addressed the press, describing the royal baby as "absolutely beautiful" and confirming that Will and Kate are "both doing really well." When prodded for a name, Carole declined: "Absolutely not!"

What Is The Royal Baby's Official Title?
The royal baby is here! Now that we've seen him and his parents have said some sweet words about the birth, we're left wondering... what is his official title?
Until Will and Kate choose a first name, the royal baby will officially be titled as "HRH Prince of Cambridge." It makes sense, given that his father is titled "Prince William, Duke of Cambridge" and Kate is titled "Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge." In fact, the royal baby's title will be the first time "Prince of Cambridge" has been used in 194 years! Find out more about his royal title here.
