The scene outside the Lindo Wing as the press awaited the news was somewhat dull, to say the truth. The police had established a barrier for the press, at which there were several guards, and the front door was continuously guarded by two officers, although every now and then one would go in, or new officers would arrive to switch shifts.

However, when the birth was announced, the jubilant press shouted "It's a boy!" as many more around the world, including your's truly, celebrated. Amid the celebration, Mr Perkins rushes down the steps of the hospital to the street where, right, he hands it to a chauffeur to be ferried across central London to the Palace.
