Duchess of Cambridge Kate gave birth to a boy Monday evening, palace officials said.
The baby was born at 4.24 p.m., Xinhua cited sources with the Kensington Palace as saying.
The baby is now third in line to the British throne.
Already more than a week past her due date, the 31-year-old Kate was taken to the St. Mary's Hospital in Paddington around 6 a.m. Monday.
A royal spokesman earlier told the Daily Mail that the duchess travelled by car from Kensington Palace to the Lindo Wing with the Duke of Cambridge (Prince William).
This is the same hospital where Princess Diana gave birth to both her sons.
