Royal baby: Prince William takes a break from fatherhood as he leaves Kensington Palace
The second in line to the throne looked blissfully happy when he stood outside the steps of the hospital with his Kate and the baby Prince of Cambridge to introduce him to the world.
But, before leaving the hospital with his family to spend the first night at Kensington Palace with his newborn son, he admitted to the crowd and reporters that his role as a father just became even more difficult now he is a father-of-three.
Addressing the public with a joke he said, while holding up three fingers: “Thrice the worry now”.
The delighted prince might have felt the need to take a break less than 24 hours after the birth of baby Cambridge, as he was seen leaving his royal residence in London this afternoon.
Driving away to an unknown destination, William was wearing his glasses and looked relaxed, despite the excitement he had been subjected to in the last hours.
