The Duchess was admitted to the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London earlier on Monday morning. She was taken by car to hospital and accompanied by Prince William.
Well-wishers, many dressed in or carrying Union Jacks, have gathered outside the hospital hoping to get the first glimpse of the royal baby. When Kate gave birth to Charlotte, she left hospital on the same day. The Duchesses' stylist was seen leaving the hospital around lunch-time, furthering expectations the family of five will spend their first night together at home in the palace.
The Duchess' medical team included Guy Thorpe-Beeston, the royal household's surgeon gynaecologist, the Queen's surgeon gynaecologist Alan Farthing, Dr Sunit Godambe a neonatologist and Professor Huw Thomas, who serves as physician to the Queen.
A bulletin notice informing the public of the birth will be displayed on an easel in the forecourt of Buckingham Palace. A self-styled town crier heralded the news outside the hospital, exclaiming "God Save the Queen," while ringing a bell.
Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson was among the first government figures to issue his congratulations.
"Huge congratulations to Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the safe delivery of their baby boy today!" Mr Johnson tweeted.
Australia's Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove led the congratulations on behalf of Australians.
"Lynne and I send you our warmest congratulations on the birth of a new Royal prince," he said.
"As you already know the arrival of a new baby is another exciting and life-affirming event you no doubt will cherish,
"On behalf all Australians, we send your family our best wishes at this happy and special time."
