And after so many months of speculation about the gender of Kate Middleton's baby, we finally know that it is a baby boy.

Every one thought till the end that Kate had accidentally let slip the gender of the royal baby and assumed it will be a girl!

Kate Middleton Baby Boy

The baby boy is healthy and weighs 8 pounds and 6 ounces. That is quite a bit since Kate Middleton looked so slender throughout her pregnancy. The royal baby was born at 4.24 pm, London time. He is already, the official Prince of Cambridge and he is not even a day old.

The Palace officials declared that Kate Middleton's baby was born ‘normally'. This means Kate Middleton had a vaginal birth. However, they did not say that Kate Middleton had a ‘natural' birth which is customary for the royalty. This could mean that Kate Middleton had an epidural or some other help during the time of birth. All that information is still privy. However, we do know that the Duchess of Cambridge was in labour for 10 whole hours!

There were also some speculations that Kate Middleton's baby would be born at a hospital near her parents' mansion. However. She gave birth at London's St. Mary's hospital which is the same hospital in which Prince William and Prince Harry were born. The next heir to the British throne has also arrived at the same hospital. Thanks to good old royal tradition!
