Earlier on Monday, Prince William and Kate Middleton appeared on the steps of the Lindo Wing at St. Mary's Hospital to introduce their new baby boy to the world.

Wearing a red dress with a white collar, Middleton looked in good health after giving birth to her as yet un-named prince, who is fifth in line to the throne.

She paid a tribute to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, with the choice of her outfit.

When Princess Diana presented Prince Harry to the public, back in 1984, she too wore a red outfit with a white Peter Pan collar. (ANI)
