It was revealed earlier in the day that Catherine - who was known as Kate Middleton before her marriage - had been admitted to hospital after going into labour.
Kensington Palace announced: "Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge was admitted to St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington, London earlier this morning in the early stages of labour.
"The Duchess travelled by car from Kensington Palace to the Lindo Wing at St. Mary's Hospital with The Duke of Cambridge."
Catherine carried out her last official royal engagement last month at the Team SportsAid event in London and will be on maternity leave until the autumn.
An insider said recently: "Kate is now officially on maternity leave until the autumn and looking forward to welcoming the new baby.
"The whole family is excited, including the children, who are very much aware that they are about to welcome a new brother or sister."
