PRINCE William and Katehave spent their first night athome as a family after theirtiny prince made a grandpublic appearance before theworld press and thousands ofcheering fans.

The royal couple yesterdayappeared to relish the newchallenges to come as theyleft St Mary’s Hospital andspoke openly about their ex-periences. Lights at the pal-ace could be seen burningwell into the night.

One of their first visitors attheir home at KensingtonPalace the next morning wasKate’s sister Pippa and it isunderstood her parents, Mi-chael and Carole, might alsovisit as well.

Prince Harry, already dub-bed the ‘‘fun uncle’’, alsolives in another wing ofKensington Palace but wasexpected to be on hand today.Kate’s younger brotherJames Middleton was alsoexpected to visit.

The palace has confirmedfor the first time that the cou-ple will not have a nanny andwill rely on their families in-stead for help.

Perhaps they too couldhelp with names as Williamand Kate yesterday admittedthey’ve not yet made up theirmind on a name for the babyprince and coyly said thatwas still a few days away.

It was a magical day forBritain yesterday with suc-cessive developments build-ing until the moment theroyal family left the hospitaland spoke to media, some ofwhom had been waitingthree weeks at the front ofthe central London hospitalfor that moment.

First Kate’s hairdresserAmanda Cook Tucker ar-rived at the hospital just af-ter lunch with a royal aidenot far behind delivering astandard $130 baby car seat.

Then about 3pm, Kate’sparents arrived to greet theirgrandchild for the first time,arriving in a taxi and waving

to the crowd. By 5.30pm whenPrince Charles and Camillaarrived crowds were 10 deepright along the 100m frontageof the maternity wing.

Then at 7.13pm local timethe main act came out.

William and Kate came outto pose for photos on thesteps of the hospital, taking

turns to cradle and show theworld the tiny prince whowas welcomed to the worldwith rapturous applause andcheers, and the click of hun-dreds of cameras.

Then the royal familybroke protocol and walkedacross the road to the mediapool for an animated chat.

‘‘Well he’s got a good set oflungs on him that’s for sure,’’William gushed, barely aud-ible under the cheers fromthe crowd, some who hadwaited days for the moment,others who saw things build-ing on live TV news broad-casts and had rushed down atthe last minute.
