(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Prince William and his wife Kate showed off their new baby daughter to their loved ones on Sunday as they thanked people around the world for their messages of congratulations.
Among the well-wishers was William's brother Prince Harry, away serving with the Australian army, who said of the one-day-old princess: "She is absolutely beautiful. I can't wait to meet her."
As the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, their toddler son Prince George and the as yet unnamed baby spent their first full day back home after Saturday's birth, the newborn's grandparents came calling for a first kiss and cuddle.
William's father Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, and his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, went to see them at Kensington Palace, as did Kate's parents Michael and Carole Middleton, and her sister Pippa.
Uncle Harry will have to wait a while longer to see his niece. After completing his secondment with Australian army units in Perth and Sydney, he will undertake an official tour of New Zealand from May 9 to 16.
Britain is eagerly awaiting the name of the new princess, but Kensington Palace said there would be no further news Sunday.
Betting on the baby's name saw Charlotte overtake long-time front-runner Alice as the bookmakers' favourite, with Victoria, Olivia and Elizabeth close behind.
