Prince William, his wife, Catherine, and the royal baby are spending their first full day at home Wednesday, after giving the world its first glimpse of the future king as they left the hospital.
Queen Elizabeth II arrived at Kensington Palace on Wednesday morning for her first meeting with her new great-grandson.
The family's emergence Tuesday evening from the Lindo Wing of St. Mary's Hospital marked the end of a long wait for the throngs of journalists camped outside.
There's just one detail left to wait for now -- the little prince's name.
He and his wife are "still working on a name," William said on the hospital steps, "so we'll have that as soon as we can -- it's the first time we've seen him really, so we're having a proper chance to catch up."
He said the baby has a "good pair of lungs," and added, "He's got her looks, thankfully."
Catherine and William took turns holding the child, wrapped in a cream-colored blanket, as they waved to well-wishers. The prince has already changed his first diaper, the couple told reporters.
"It's very emotional. It's such a special time," Catherine said.
The 8-pound, 6-ounce boy was born Monday afternoon. He's third in line, behind Charles and William, for the British throne now held by his the queen.
On their way out, they walked out down the same hospital steps where Diana, Princess of Wales, and Prince Charles gave the world its first look at Prince William 31 years ago.
