Prince Williams and Kate Middleton show off newborn prince - PHOTOS

The world caught its first glimpse of the royal baby Tuesday, after the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge made their first public appearance as they left St. Mary’s hospital with the newborn child.

The baby boy, who is not yet named and is third in line to the throne, was wrapped in a blanket and carried in the arms of mother Catherine with father Prince William at her side.

“He’s got her looks, thankfully,” William said to reporters.

“I’ll remind him of his tardiness when he’s a bit older,” he said. “I know you’ve been waiting for quite a while.”

The Duchess waved to the crush of onlookers before passing the infant to his father. Moments later, the couple boarded the baby in a car seat in the back of a black car and drove off towards Kensington Palace.
