From one prince to another! Just one day after the Duchess of Cambridge gave birth [1] and the world welcomed a new baby prince [2], 69-year-old grandfather Prince Charles released a sweet statement [3]. "We are both so pleased at the news," the Prince of Wales shared from himself and wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall. "It is a great joy to have another grandchild, the only trouble is I don't know how I am going to keep up with them."

With three adorable grandchildren [6] — Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and the new royal baby — Prince Charles kindly gushed over his newest addition. It's currently unknown what Kate and Prince William have named the new prince, but we have a feeling Charles may have some suggestions. It's believed that when Princess Diana gave birth to William and Harry, Charles wanted to name their sons [7] Albert and Arthur, but the late Princess Di recalled that the names were "too old," as published in the 1992 book Diana: Her Story.

Kate and the baby returned home to Kensington Palace less than 10 hours after giving birth [8] to reunite with excited older siblings George and Charlotte [9]. We can't wait to see more photos as the royal family expands [10]!
