The Queen has been at Kensington
Palace to meet her great-grandson for the first time and see his
ecstatic parents before heading off on her summer holiday.
Her Majesty, who will travel to Balmoral on Friday, spent 30 minutes with the Duke, Duchess and Baby Cambridge, as the guessing game over the future king's name continues.
Last night she told guests at a Buckingham Palace reception she
was 'thrilled' at the birth of her great-grandson, and today William and Kate may have discussed potential names with her.
On
the eve of the baby's birth, the Queen famously told a ten-year-old
schoolgirl that she didn't mind if it was a boy or a girl, adding: 'I
would very much like it to arrive. I’m going on holiday'.
Heading home: After half an hour with the new
prince, Kate and William, where they may have discussed names, the Queen
went back to Buckingham Palace
Dressed
in a turquoise floral outfit she looked relaxed and happy as she left,
having travelled the short distance from Buckingham Palace without the
Duke of Edinburgh, who is still convalescing at Windsor Castle following
exploratory abdominal surgery last month.
Baby Cambridge has spent his first night at home after a dramatic evening where the waiting world had its first wonderful glimpse of him.
Caring: As his wife walked down the steps,
William placed a protective hand on her arm to make sure the new mother
and son made it down the steps safely
Warm welcome: The ecstatic crowd sang 'Congratulations' as the new parents stepped out of the London hospital
The safe hands of the Duchess of Cambridge with her son who was born on Monday, but was thrown into the spotlight yesterday
