Wonderful news this evening as Duchess Kate has been reported to have given birth to a healthy baby GIRL!!!

The wait is finally over and millions around the world are overjoyed with the news.

Official announcements from Kensington Palace:

Here’s how the news went down at the Lindo Wing, courtesy of Patrick Sawer from Telegraph.co.uk:

Cheering broke out just after 11am as word spread that Kensington Palace had announced the birth of a baby girl.

First through a notice on its website, then via a tweet two minutes later, the palace stated that the Duchess “was safely delivered of a daughter at 8.34am.”

That was the signal for cries of “three cheers for the royal baby” to begin, followed by a lusty “hip hip hooray” from assembled well wishers and passers-by.

There is no word yet on the name but we will keep you updated here at Starts at 60.
