He joined his older brother Prince George and his older sister Princess Charlotte in the family.
As usual, the birth took place at St. Mary Hospital just like the first two children. The media camped at the front of the hospital for a few days. The people of London also went there to catch a glimpse of the new prince and some of them went to the Buckingham Palace to wait for the official announcement of the birth. The entire kingdom was absolutely overjoyed with the birth of the new prince, but what the Duchess was wearing when they left the hospital is what the people are incredibly surprised about, so continue reading to find out what it is.

Duchess Kate’s Post Hospital Dress
When the Duchess gives birth, the people do not only focus on the new heir to the throne, but also to the Duchess herself. This is the third time that Duchess Kate has given birth and she always managed to look good in a dress with a pair of heels once she steps out of the hospital and shows the world her newborn baby.
Obviously, this is not exactly something that commoners do. Women are expected to wear comfortable clothing when they go out of the hospital after giving birth, they are not expected to have a well-groomed hair and makeup as well as pair of shoes since they are still most likely to be swollen and in need of a shower, which is literally normal. Then again, the Duchess is too far from being normal.

The world awaits the arrival of her child and she is also expected to look her best even after she just delivered a baby. The Duchess is well-attended by her midwives the entire time she was at the hospital, which is why after just 8 hours of giving birth, she was released to go home and feel the comfort of her own bed without being bothered by the public eye and the media.
According to experts, the midwives kept an eye on the Duchess really well because that is unofficial protocol. The newborn royal baby is not the only one who must have their full attention, but also the mother. There were obviously no complications in any of her pregnancies and deliveries, which is why she has managed to go home looking like she didn’t give birth at all.

After photos of the Duchess stepping out with Prince Louis spread all over the social media, people noticed how similar her dress looked like with the dress her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana wore when she gave birth to Prince Harry back in 1984. It has the same shade of rose. It was actually said to be a Jenny Packham dress that has a white Peter Pan collar.
The Duchess apparently wore dresses from the same exact designer when she announced the birth of her two previous children. Princess Diana wore the same shade of red with a white collar on it as well, both of them have it in long sleeves too. Some people actually think that it is a way for the Duchess to honor her late mother-in-law since she is no longer there with them. There are also some people who think that it is just coincidence. Either way, the people absolutely loved it.

Diana and Kate Comparison
Even when she just got married to Prince William 7 years ago, she has already been compared to the late princess for so many times. From her style, like her wedding dress, the dresses she wears whenever she would visit other countries with her husband, her casual looks and more. However, that is not the only thing that the two are being compared to, they are also being compared to their motherhood style.
Both the Duchess and the late Princess Diana have been very handsome especially when they are going on trips with the children. This is said to be one of the reasons why the people accepted Duchess Kate so easily, they remind her of the late Princess and the way she is with her children while also being so influential and down to earth makes her loved in a way. Prince Harry will get married to actress Meghan Markle in just a few weeks and people have already started comparing Markle to the Duchess and the late Princess.
