US President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, led tributes, wishing the new parents "all the happiness and blessings parenthood brings."
"Given the special relationship between us, the US people are pleased to join with the people of the United Kingdom as they celebrate the birth of the young prince," the president said in a White House statement.
The birth fuels a new wave of popularity for the House of Windsor led by the younger royals, William and Harry.
Support for the royals dipped after Diana's death in a car crash in Paris in 1997, a year after her divorce from Charles, as the royals were accused of being out of touch with modern Britain over their handling of the aftermath.
But last year's celebrations of Queen Elizabeth's 60th year on the throne showed support for the monarchy was running at a record high.
Hordes of TV crews and photographers, and royal fans wrapped in Union Jack flags, remained camped outside the hospital on Monday, waiting for the first photo of the baby, who will be the Prince of Cambridge.
There will also be a 41-gun salute at London's Green Park and 62 rounds fired at the Tower of London on Tuesday to herald news of the birth.
