The Royal Baby's First Photos With Kate Middleton & Prince William Are Adorable
First, we had to wait hours for the royal baby's birth, and once we learned it was a Prince, we had to wait a whole day to see the world's most famous newborn. Since the baby boy and his parents, William and Kate, made their first public appearance as a family of three, there are finally some photos of the beaming parents and their beautiful son. Here are some of the best photos of the royal baby, to hold you over while we wait for the next big reveal: his name.

Kate and the royal baby lead the way out of St. Mary's Hospital as the world gets its first look at the baby boy.
