The Duchess of Cambridges three births have shared some striking similarities.

For the third time in five years, Kate proudly showed off her new baby on the steps of St Marys Hospitals Lindo Wing.

Within hours of giving birth at 11.01am on Monday, the mum-of-three looked immaculate as she was joined by husband Prince William to briefly introduce their new bundle of joy to the world.

The new prince – whose name has not yet been made public – also met his excited older siblings Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

And photos of the three children, each taken on the day they were born, shows how they had different reactions to their first glimpse of the limelight.

Like his sister Charlotte, the new Royal baby slept throughout his first public appearance – George was a little more agitated and could be seen moving his hands.

The youngest prince was heavily wrapped up for his brief introduction, with just his face and hands visible.

He weighed in at 8lb 7oz – heavier than both George, who was 8lb 6oz, and Charlotte, who weighed 8lb 3oz.
