Little more than 24 hours after it was announced Kate had
gone into labour, the nation is waking up to images of the
new royal princess sleeping peacefully in her mother's
arms.
The royal baby is currently at Kensington Palace with her
parents the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and her big
brother Prince George.
President Obama and The Archbishop of Canterbury are
among those to have express their congratulations and
we're expecting more reaction to the happy news
throughout the day.
There is no news yet on the name of the baby girl and it is
not yet known when the name will be announced by the
royal household.
