easy delivery. she's leaving the hospital with ten hours since her baby was born. >> absolutely. prince william drove past us there. she looks incredible. absolutely relaxed. totally immaculate. her hairdresser did go in earlier to make sure she looked perfection because kate likes to look like that. that was a lovely scene of prince william carrying the baby out. >> wouldn't you want to have a bit of hair and makeup coming before out before the cameras of the world. my goodness. we have aerial cameras watching them make their way and go back to kensington palace. >> i can see the helicopter. >> we're getting the pictures from that helicopter. >> but when kate returns to royal duties do you expect that she will travel or has it been said she will probably stay more domestic and stay home? >> no. she certainly will carry out
be a picture perfect baby. not surprising when you look at both parents, look at prince george as well who couldn't be cuter. but again, the bbc putting up this picture and that will be the big money shot and all of those that will be put out officially with the royal portrait. robert jobson do you know how long it will be until they take the pictures, how long was it with george? do you remember? >> it was quite a while, a few days actually, and the reason they did that was because they had -- it was actually michael middleton, kate's dad that took the photographs and he got a lot of criticism from professional photographers who said he lit it badly. very affectionate photograph i thought. i think they will be waiting a little while, a few days and rely on these photographs. the bbc or the press association may have had a vantage point at the top of the hospital to get a photograph and that's why they're getting the money shot because they would have probably been looked after in that way. >> yeah.
a decision that's cleared through the queen. it will be their decision. they've been traditional in the past, favorite names are those formally grandchildren of queen victoria, alice charlotte, another former queen name. my favorite is not in the bookies, but it would be may, because it is may and princess may who later became queen mary would be a good name i think. we'll see, maybe diana and elizabeth. >> it's fun to speculate on the possible names and they could be beautiful names. the word that kate may head home they're expected to go back to kensington palace for a while and then out to the country? >> by the way, alexander is 14 to 1 so you're not out. they would go back to kensington palace, probably for a couple of days. this was the original plan. and then they will head out to
go through in this country with my wife from japan. >> thank you so much. congratulationses to both of you. hope you have a great celebration day. >> richard give me -- >> yeah. >> do me a favor, tell congratulations to kevin and best wishes to kia, a beautiful bride, and here's the less ob of the day, relationships, it's all about being able to roll with the punches and deal with the things that come your way unexpectedly and they're doing a great job. >> alex witt the anchor says congratulations and relationships are an enduring part of what you will find for your life and alex you can hear the speakers just beginning so we'll get back to you later and tell you what happened. >> okay. we'll look forward to that. thank you so much richard lu. a great interview, a bride and groom. who knew. >> let's go from there back to london. where the royals have left the hospital with their newborn daughter to return to kensington palace. will and kate stepped outside with the princess just before departing. they were smiling and waving to a crowd of onlookers.
we understand they're going to come down to the microphones and may say a few words. before leaving with their girl. >> we should note prince george there earlier was taken back to kensington palace but we presume he has met his baby sister named to be determined. we will get that as soon as possible but this is entirely reminiscent almost the same thing as we saw a couple years ago when george was born. the only difference being that day, kate, who looks equally wonderful after having given birth to her second child, wearing a beautiful blue with polka dots jenny peck ham dress which became all the rage with maternity clothes to recreate that designer's clothes. so now they're heading back in. kelly, i don't know the reason for going back in. they didn't do that last time. but perhaps they're going in to finish up paperwork. she does look like she's ready to leave the hospital and head back to kensington palace.
restore trust following the freddie gray case? on friday congressman elijah cummings spoke how important the charges are to the community and how vital police are to the city. i'm sorry. we don't have that sound bite and we'll bring it as soon as we get it. this week nbc national correspondent kate snow sat down with a number of police officers and sergeants around the country talking about what it's like to go on patrol in a climate of mistrust. on the heels of that joining me right now, former nypd officer eugene o'donnell a professor at john j. college of justice and kate a reporter with "the los angeles times." the baltimore police here the union has written an open letter to the state's attorney asking her to appoint a special prosecutor in this case because the gray family attorney donated to her campaign and marilyn mosby responded to the accusations last night. let's listen to that.
prince george and it was a wonderful set of cute photographs and footage as he walked in and little george waving to the crowds before stepping inside to see his new baby sister. obviously the baby was born a few hours ago, 8 pounds 3 ounces and everyone is really excited by the news. hundreds of people here well wishers waiting for william and kate to emerge with their new family william and whatever this little baby girl will be called i'm sure that beyond those steps shortly, it looks that way anyway. >> when do you think they will have a name? do you suspect they went into the birth choosing a boy's name and girl's name and they have to wait for approval from the queen? >> it won't probably happen that way, alex. my understanding the duke and duchess william and kate would probably want to see the baby's face. that's what they said last time. probably had a few ideas when george was born but wanted to see the character before they named the child and it won't be
but also shows you that really there is a desire to really involve the public as much as possible and putting the easel here has created a focal point at the palace. let's not forget buckingham palace behind me where it all happens, the seat of the royal family. that's where prince george will one day be running this country from. it's such an important part of george's life, of kate's life before the baby caught brought george swimming here, went swimming herself in the pool to try to bring on labor as that labor dragged on into a week and more overdue. i think it's really clever and really just good engagement with the public that there is something for people to do here at buckingham palace to feel involved and part of it. and just a fantastic really positive, really joyous atmosphere. >> yeah. well we're glad you have been able to share some of the sense with us. thank you so much from the daily
>> that's true. to be honest, al leshgs we shouldn't discount it totally because many, many monarchs in the past have been the second children. henry r8 king george the v and vi went on. you shouldn't discount automatically. the first of a royal princess since princess eugenieny. a an awful lot of excited people here today. may not have the same euphoria but here they come as we speak, prince william carries the baby out, going to put the baby in the car and drive off with kate. >> that's precious. >> it looks so much like it did the last time. i mean let's face it doing exactly what they did with george as any other family taking their baby home perhaps not to kensington palace taking their baby home. it is remarkable how terrific kate looks in tremendous physical shape. she's very athletic. i'm sure that contributed the fact that she's had a relatively
little less than that and then to anmar hall in the east of england where i'm sure they will spend weeks away from the media circus and then we'll see the name released and the photographs of the little baby probably taken by an official member of the staff as they've done before. they will be away and living a life like a private family. that all will happen apart from the name which will come out maybe tomorrow that will all happen after the general election in the uk which obviously going on at the moment because the royals have to remain apolitical. >> robert do we know anything about where kate middleton's mother carol is right now? we know they're so close and she was a tremendous help to her during the pregnancy and in the early days when george was a newborn, have they come to london do you know? the middleton family? >> i would think they would be at kensington palace. that way they'll be a way they can meet their new grand child as soon as possible. they're very close to william and kate.
