The Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William London Windsor Spread Pictures

The royal baby was born a little over 24 hours ago, and he's already making his first appearance!

On Tuesday evening Kate Middleton and Prince William exited St. Mary's Hospital in London, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge gave the world their first glimpse at the future king of England.

"Its a special time for any parent," a glowing Middleton told reporters. "I'll remind him of his tardiness when he's a bit older," William joked. "He's got her looks, thankfully. I know how long you all have been waiting out here ... He's taken his first nappie already. He's got way more hair than me. Thank God!"

Middleton held on to their newborn son and then passed the heir to the throne to William as photographers snapped away.

Kate gave birth at 4:24pm in the Lindo Wing at St. Mary's Hospital in London yesterday, and the baby boy weighed in at 8 pounds, 6 ounces. Still no word on what they've decided to name him, but we're guessing we'll know in the next few days!
