The Duke of Cambridge breathed a visible sigh of relief when he placed the baby in the back sear of a waiting Range Rover. He then drove off to nearby Kensington Palace with Kate sitting by her son’s side.

The Duchess of Cambridge looked radiant in a cornflower blue bespoke crêpe de chine polka dot dress by British designer Jenny Packham. Kate has turned to this designer on numerous occasions. In a press release by the company, they said that they won’t be producing versions of the dress for sale.

The blue dress was a nod, no doubt, to her baby's gender - the same gesture made by her mother during her own visit earlier in the day.

And in a subtle tribute to Princess Diana, who wore a green spotted dress as she left the same hospital with Prince William in 1982, Kate’s dress had a similar polka dot pattern.

Completing her outfit, Kate wore her beige 'Imperia' wedges by Pied a Terre (no longer available), her Kiki McDonough citrine drop earrings and her sapphire and diamond engagement ring.

William confirmed that the prince was overdue when he said: ‘I will remind him of his tardiness when he is older.’

As of this posting, Baby Cambridge is still nameless. The Duke of Cambridge told the press, 'We're still working on a name so we will have that as soon as we can.'
