But she eventually decided to return to the Lindo Wing to deliver her little boy. © PA She and William had chosen not to know the sex of their new baby – a pattern they have followed throughout all three pregnancies. There had been other less pleasant similarities, with the Duchess once again suffering from the extreme form of morning sickness, hyperemesis gravidarum.

By having more than two children, the couple have followed in the footsteps of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, who went on to have four kids.

As a sibling to both future king George and "spare to the heir" Charlotte, the new baby boy is unlikely ever to be crowned sovereign. However, although it is rare, it is not unheard of for a third-born royal who is in direct succession to become monarch.
