LONDON, April 23 (Reuters) - Kate, the wife of Prince William, gave birth to a boy on Monday at a hospital in London, the third child for the British royal couple. Kensington Palace said the baby was born at 1001 GMT and weighs 8 lbs 7oz. William was present for the birth at St Mary's Hospital in west London where their other two children, George and Charlotte, were also born, it added. "The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Harry and members of both families have been informed and are delighted with the news," Kensington Palace said. "Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well."
The new prince is Queen Elizabeth's sixth great-grandchild and fifth-in-line to the British throne behind siblings Prince George, 4, his two-year-old sister Princess Charlotte, their father William, and grandfather and heir Prince Charles.
A 2013 change to the law means the boy will not supplant older sister Charlotte in the line of succession.
"That would in fact be the first time that has ever happened," royal historian Huge Vickers said. However, William's younger brother Harry, who marries U.S. actress Meghan Markle next month, falls to sixth on the list.
Kensington Palace said the name of the new royal would be announced in due course. Bookmakers had made Albert, Arthur, Jack and Fred the favourite names for a boy. (Editing by Guy Faulconbridge)

There’s probably a protocol against naming a new heir after a living heir. The whole naming thing with royals is fairly rigid.
Id add Philip to the list, the old Dukes about done
Charles the cuck?
Eccch
****We can only hope William takes the throne before Charles ever does.****
Since the Royal family has no power (to tax or legislate) - the popularity difference between them is based on personal appeal. William is younger, more cheerful and attractive- ‘Hollywood before History’;)
The King can have influence on the country. Charles would be out there asking for more muslim invaders.
It also means “rule in peace”.
As I understand, the most popular name for a boy in the UK these days is Mohammed.
More likely it would be Barack Husein. Here's the news from almost exactly the same time of year two years ago (April 19, 2016):
I agree. Who gives a sh!t about British royalty.
Moving Pictures. Very underrated.
‘Cause tourists are money!
How cisgender of them to assign a gender to this newborn...../s
"You can call me 'Ray' or you can call me 'Jay', but you doesn't have to call me 'Johnson'."
LOL
This! I don’t give a rat’s...
Same here - 2 sons, 2 daughters - God’s blessings.
Thank you for your comment. I am shocked at some responses.
A child is born, (not aborted) and the Brits’ celebration is denigrated by ‘Christian’ FReepers???????????????????????
I give up!!!!!
I’m old enough to know that’s the last song on the Beatles’ Abbey Road album.
I don’t think these posters are putting down the birth of a healthy and wanted child.
I think those making negative remarks are putting down our national habit of praising anything British.
They are focused on the fact of our American Revolution against the Crown a few hundred years ago. Tribalism, one could say.
I recognize that line immediately as part of The End, the last song on Abbey Road. Paul was always brimming with catchy melodies. Even Maxwell Silverhammer, a lovely, bouncy little tune about a serial killer. It’s what they used to call a ‘Toe-Tapper’.
