Charlotte was born on May 2 at 8:34 a.m. and weighed in at 8lbs, 3 oz.
According to Us Weekly, the Duchess of Cambridge gave birth without an epidural and with two midwives by her side, Arona Ahmed and Jacqui Dunkley-Bent — the same women that were reportedly there for the birth of Prince George.
Sources also reveal to the magazine that there were no complications at all and the delivery went "remarkably well." As for the speedy birth, that "was a surprise to all." The only mystery that remains is whether the duchess was induced.
And although Prince Harry wasn't there physically, he did get the good news from his brother Will before the princess made her debut.
"She is absolutely beautiful. I can't wait to meet her,” the uncle said in a statement. Harry is currently in a month-long secondment with the Australian Defence Force.
