英国民众期待第一眼看到王室小王子

Crowds of well-wishers gathered outside a London hospital Tuesday, hoping to catch the first glimpse of the newest heir to the British throne.

Prince William and his wife Kate are expected to soon leave the facility, giving the public its first look at the royal baby, whose name has not yet been announced.

Impromptu celebrations were held Monday following the news of the birth. Kensington Palace says both Kate and her mother are "doing well." Prince William said in a brief statement, "we could not be happier."

The celebrations will continue Tuesday, with ceremonial royal artillery gun salutes expected to sound across London in honor of the birth.
