The new baby is now fifth in line to the British throne, following George, third in line to the throne, and Charlotte, fourth in line to the throne.

George and Charlotte both currently attend school near Kensington Palace, George at Thomas's Battersea and Charlotte at the Willcocks Nursery School. It is expected that Kate and William will initially enjoy solo time with their new infant at the palace.

Apartment 1A in Kensington Palace in London is the family's official home.
