Heir to British Throne Born in London
July 22, 2013
A great-grandson to Queen Elizabeth has been born in London, becoming third in line to the throne.
In this age of social media and instant worldwide communication, the royal birth was announced on Twitter as well as the traditional way - a brief notice posted outside Buckingham Palace.
Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well and will remain in hospital overnight.

The baby’s name has not yet been announced and no photo has been made public.
As soon as he was born Monday afternoon, he became third in line to the British throne.
The baby was born to the Duchess of Cambridge, the former Kate Middleton, wife of the queen’s grandson Prince William. She spoke about the importance of family and her desire to have children during a Reuters interview shortly after she and the prince were engaged three years ago.
“It’s very important to me. And, you know, I hope we’ll be able to have a happy family ourselves," she said.
Prince William is second in line to the throne, after his father, Prince Charles. The royal baby is also the grandson of the late Princess Diana.
The pomp and ceremony of a monarchy, and its system of hereditary succession, seem hopelessly outdated to some.
