The Duchess of Cambridge has given birth to a girl, Kensington Palace has announced.
The Duke of Cambridge was present for the birth of the couple's second child, who weighed in at 8lb 3oz.
Both mother and baby are "doing well", the palace said.
The Duchess gave birth at 8.34am and the delay between then and an announcement just after 11.15am is understood to have been so the couple could tell their families.
The Queen, Duke of Edinburgh, Prince of Wales, Duchess of Cornwall and the baby's uncle Prince Harry had been informed and the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall are "absolutely delighted", Clarence House said.
The Duke of Cambridge's uncle Earl Spencer said: "It's wonderful news - we are all thrilled for all four of them."
Crowds of media and well wishers rushed to see a town crier announce the arrival on the steps of the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital in London.
Meanwhile, at Buckingham Palace a framed notice of birth was put on display on a ceremonial easel on the forecourt to officially announce the birth.
Just like when Prince George who was born in July 2013, Kate was looked after by a similar team of doctors and nurses.
Kate, who suffered hyperemesis gravidarum, or extreme morning sickness, early in her pregnancy, was a number of days overdue and had been taken to the hospital at 6am from her nearby home Kensington Palace.
The birth of a girl will have been a surprise to the royal couple, who had chosen not to find out the sex of their baby in advance.
The Prince of Wales, however, will be overjoyed as he made no secret he wanted his second grandchild to be a girl.
Prime Minister David Cameron led the congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the birth of their new daughter, writing on Twitter that he is "absolutely delighted for them".

In a funny development, betting fever has intensified since news of the birth broke. Many players are now betting on the possible name for the new baby with William Hill saying it has taken more than £55,000 in new bets in the first three hours since it was announced. William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams said: "Alice and Charlotte are still the favourites, but keep an eye out for Rose and Grace."
