The world was abuzz with excitement yesterday, upon the announcement that The Duchess of Cambridge had gone into labour, and then that she had given birth to a girl. Not only had the world been wishing for a Princess, placing thousands of bets on a girl named Alice, even Prince Charles wanted a granddaughter!
See how the whole world celebrated amidst the gloom of news such as the Nepal earthquake and Baltimore riots.
The super-Royal watchers cheered outside Lindo Wing.
Thousands and thousands of people retweeted Kensington Palace’s announcement.
Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge was safely delivered of a daughter at 8.34am.
