The Duchess emerged from the hospital and stood on the steps with Prince William as they introduced their daughter to the world.
Despite being used to the public glare, the Duchess still expressed
shock and amazement at the crowds gathered to meet her daughter.
“This is nice,” she said to William.
“Lots of people out there. Look up there on the top.”
She then waved upwards to everyone desperate to get a glimpse of her daughter.
Waving, she said to the crowd: “Hello”
Prince William turned to her at the top of the steps and said: “Do you want to step down…be careful.”
He encouraged her to wave to the crowds and to keep showing their
daughter to the people on either side so everyone could get a glimpse.
The new mother then looked down adoringly at her daughter, and said to William: “She’s fast asleep.”
The doting mother expressed fears the little princess might be “cold”
but Prince William reassuringly said: “No, she’s fine, she’s good.”
But she lovingly replied: “Let’s take her inside.”
