Congratulations: The second Royal Baby is here!
England cheers, the wait is over: Prince William and Duchess Catherine have officially announced the birth of their second child.
George now has a little sister, who was delivered at 8:34 in St. Mary's Hospital. For the Queen, the baby is great-granddaughter number five.

Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the birth of their baby girl. I'm absolutely delighted for you.

And the opposition also cheers, at least in the form of Labor leader Ed Miliband:
Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess on the birth of their daughter. Wishing them lots of joy and happiness - and hopefully some sleep!

Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well.
