Kate Middleton and Prince William welcomed a son on April 23 at St Mary’s Hospital in London.

The baby will be the third grandchild for Prince Charles and he couldn’t stop gushing over the new arrival.

‘We are both so pleased at the news,’ the Prince of Wales, 69, said in a statement, also referring to his wife, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.

But the Prince also managed to poke a bit of fun at himself.

‘It is a great joy to have another grandchild, the only trouble is I don’t know how I am going to keep up with them.’
