over the UK’s future customs arrangements with the EU.
On a visit to a firm in the West Midlands, Mrs May said: “Coming out of the customs union means that we will be free to have deals that suit the UK.” A RECORD number of emergency supplies were handed out by food banks in the past year, research has revealed.
The Trussell Trust said its network distributed more than 1.3 million three-day food supplies in the year to March, a 13% increase on the previous 12 months. Almost half a million went to children, said the trust, which runs more than 400 food banks.
Emma Revie, chief executive of the Trussell Trust, said: “No one should be left hungry or destitute.” THE Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have introduced their baby boy to the world, standing proudly on the steps of the Lindo Wing with their son.
The royal infant, wrapped up against the cool Spring weather, nestled in the arms of his mother as the couple posed for pictures.
Kate looked in good health after giving birth to her as yet un-named prince.
Prince George and Princess Charlotte have been introduced to their new baby brother for the first time.
The youngsters were taken to the Lindo Wing at St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, London, to meet the newborn Prince of Cambridge by their father.
The Duchess of Cambridge, who gave birth to the 8lb 7oz baby boy at 11.01am on patriotic St George’s Day, was believed to be waiting in her private suite for her eldest children.
William, who was at Kate’s side for the birth, left shortly after 4pm to collect four-year-old George and Charlotte, who turns three on May 2, from Kensington Palace.
George, who has spent the day at school and was dressed in his school uniform, appeared a little shy as he arrived, but Charlotte waved at the cameras twice, turning to do so and smiling as she walked up the steps.
Kensington Palace said the baby’s name would be “announced in due course”, but Arthur is already the favourite with punters, according to the bookies.
The new prince is fifth in line to the throne, and the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh’s sixth great-grandchild.
The duchess was driven to the exclusive Lindo Wing before 6am yesterday in the early stages of labour, ready for the birth of their third child.
Kensington Palace announced the baby’s arrival in a statement shortly after 1pm and said the Queen, the royals and Kate’s family were thrilled at the news.
“The Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Harry and members of both families have been informed and are delighted with the news,” the palace said.
A formal notice of the birth was placed in the forecourt of Buckingham Palace on an ornate golden stand, and a celebratory over-sized Union Flag was raised from the roof of the Queen’s London home.
Prime Minister Theresa May led the messages of support for William and Kate, saying: “My warmest congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the birth of their baby boy.”
