As the world continues to celebrate the arrival of the royal baby, the Duchess of Cambridge is still not done receiving more lavish gifts, and most recently she was gifted a very special something for the new heir to the throne, Prince George Alexander Louis, US Weekly reports.
Prior to their departure from the luxurious Lindo Wing where the Duchess gave birth (the same place where her late mother-in-law Princess Diana gave birth to William!), she was presented with a very meaningful present or her son: a celebratory scroll commemorating Prince George's birth, almost identical to the one given to Prince Charles and Princess Diana upon the birth of Prince William 31 years ago!
Inscribed by hand and enclosed in an embossed leather case, the scroll is a gift from St. Mary's Hospital, expressing their staff's "pride and delight" at welcoming Prince George to the world at their Lindo Wing.
"The Chairman, Directors and Staff of Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust are deeply honoured and would like to express their pride and delight that The Heir to the Throne of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the other Realms and Territories was born at St. Mary's Hospital Paddington on 22 July 2013," reads the scroll. "We send our loyal and affectionate congratulations and greetings and we wish the baby Prince and his parents Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge a long and happy life together in peace, good health and freedom."
Sir Richard Sykes, chairman of Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, declared in a recent statement: "Like people up and down the country, I was delighted to hear the news that the Duchess of Cambridge has had her baby boy. On behalf of everyone at the Trust I would like to congratulate Their Royal Highnesses on the new arrival."
"It will always be a source of great pride for the Trust and everyone who works here that the baby, like his father, was born in the Lindo Wing at St. Mary's, and we would like to wish him the very best of luck for the future," Sykes continued, thanking the Trust staff and volunteers who "worked tirelessly to ensure that the Duke and Duchess received the best possible care."
