Queen Elizabeth II Wednesday made a ‘private visit’ to see her newest great-grandson at his home in Kensington Palace. The Queen made the short journey from Buckingham Palace to Prince William and Kate Middleton’s home in central London in a dark green Bentley. A Kensington Palace spokesman said it was ‘now private and quiet time for them to get to know their son’.
The monarch had said she was ‘thrilled’ at the arrival of her third great-grandson during a reception at Buckingham Palace Tuesday evening. The 34-minute visit came ahead of her departure on Friday for Balmoral in Scotland for her traditional summer break. Earlier, the Queen had said that she hoped to be able to see the baby before setting off on her summer break and the new royal baby seems to have followed her orders.
The Queen was not the first visitor to meet the royal baby prince. The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, and Catherine’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, paid visits to the hospital Tuesday afternoon.
