Will the brand-new prince be king?
To end up being King or Queen as the third-born royal kid is unusual - and has yet to happen within the current House of Windsor.
But the 3rd child of George III and Queen Charlotte, William IV, handled the job and ruled from 1830 to 1837.
The Hanoverian king acceded to the throne aged 64 when his older brother, George IV, died without a beneficiary.
He ended up being next in line when he was 62 and his other older sibling, Frederick, Duke of York, died.
