Prince William and Kate Middleton welcomed Princess Charlotte in 2015

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge became parents to Charlotte on May 2, 2015. Catherine delivered the little girl at the Lindo Wing of London’s St. Mary’s Hospital. After following in royal tradition and standing on the steps of the Lindo Wing with their new baby, the couple took Charlotte home where she could get acquainted with her older brother, Prince George of Cambridge. 

When the new parents introduced Charlotte to the world, they couldn’t help but stare at their newborn daughter. Below see William and Catherine both grinning at little baby Charlotte.

Moments later, just as he did with George and later Prince Louis of Cambridge, William got Charlotte safely in the car for the drive home.

Even though Charlotte and her brothers have to be on their best behavior at royal events, they do get time to just be kids. When William and Catherine visited Canada on an eight-day royal tour in 2016, they took Charlotte and George along. Together they went to a children’s party complete with balloons.
