From Prince Charles to the bettors at the corner store, everyone in Britain was hoping for a girl.
The Duchess of Cambridge
delighted her nation and royal enthusiasts around the world Saturday by
delivering one such princess. The royal birth was greeted with cheers
and elated cries of "Hip, hip, hooray!" outside St. Mary's Hospital,
where fans and the world's media have waited for days in central London.
The baby — Prince William and
Kate's second child — was born Saturday morning and weighed 8 pounds 3
ounces (3.7 kilograms), officials said. She is fourth in line to the
throne, and the fifth great-grandchild of Queen Elizabeth II, 89.
