Sadly, the COVID-19 pandemic is still gripping the nation.

After keeping royal fans waiting for almost two weeks, she finally revealed her son’s name.
She shared: “We wanted to introduce you to August Philip Hawke Brooksbank.
“Thank you for so many wonderful messages. Our hearts are full of love for this little human, words can’t express. We are excited to be able to share these photos with you.”
She added the pictures of them with their new-born were taken by “our wonderful midwife”.
“Thank you to the wonderful essential workers including our midwife who came to discharge our boy.”
