It is the second child for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and a younger sibling for Prince George.
Just a day later the little boy made his debut to the world media as he was pictured on the steps of the hospital in his mother’s arms.
The hospital has been a royal favourite for generations
The hospital is also where Prince William was born and indeed the newborn Duke was photographed in Princess Diana’s arms in the same spot 32-years-ago. Prince Harry was also born there, as were Peter and Zara Philips.
Delivery packages including a one-night stay at the Lindo wing of St Mary’s Hospital range from £5,215 - £6,745. Extra nights cost from £945 to £1,155.
The expectant mother and her visitors can access the internet via wifi and there is a choice of daily newspaper delivered to the room each morning. Toiletries are also provided.
All meals are freshly prepared in a dedicated kitchen and tea and coffee is provided for mothers and guests throughout the day.
The wing also offers a "comprehensive wine list should you wish to enjoy a glass of champagne and toast your baby's arrival".
