(NBC News) Royal baby watchers everywhere rejoice: The world's newest princess has been introduced!
Just hours after giving birth to a girl, Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, stepped outside a London hospital with husband Prince William and their newest bundle of royal joy. Neither said anything, but smiled and waved to cheering crowds.
Britain's Prince William and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge and their newborn baby princess, pose for the media as they leave St. Mary's Hospital's exclusive Lindo Wing, London, Saturday, May 2, 2015. Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, gave birth to a baby girl on Saturday morning.

Kate, dressed in a yellow flowery dress by U.K. fashion designer Jenny Packham, was holding the sleeping newborn, who was wearing a knit bonnet and covered in a white blanket.
The royal family then departed the hospital, with William loading the baby in her car seat into a convoy that awaited them. They will return to their Kensington Palace residence for a couple of days, then will go to their country mansion in Norfolk, eastern England, according to Reuters.
The tiny highness was born at 8:34 a.m. local time, weighing in at 8 pounds, 3 ounces. Her name has not yet been revealed. She is fourth in line to the throne and bears the title Princess of Cambridge.
She left the hospital with her parents shortly after 6 p.m.
Kate, 33, gave birth in the Lindo Wing of London's St. Mary's Hospital on Saturday morning, just two and a half hours after William drove her to the hospital. Both mother and baby are "doing well," Kensington Palace said. The baby girl is the second child for the two: Prince George will be 2 in July.
Earlier Saturday afternoon, William briefly left Kate to go bring George to the hospital for a visit. On his way in, George delighted the crowd by giving a little wave when prompted by his father.
Kate, William and George — who was born at the same hospital as his little sister — went home a day after his birth in 2013. Many women at the time praised Kate for not trying to hide her postpartum baby-bump as she introduced George to eager onlookers.
