The Birth of Prince William (1982)

On 21 June, Prince William was born at St Mary's Hospital in London. After being in labour for 16 hours and looked after by George Pinker, the Queen's own surgeon gynaecologist, Diana, Princess of Wales gave birth to Prince William at 09.03pm. He weighed 7lb 1oz - or 2.65 kg.
This report was filmed the following morning. Beginning with the arrival at St Mary's of Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, the report also shows visits from both parent's families including Diana's mother, Frances Shand Kydd, Diana's father, the 8th Earl Spencer, and Queen Elizabeth II. Prince Charles came out and told ITN that Diana was "very well", meanwhile Prince William was "in excellent form". Then, after returning inside, both Charles and Diana emerged with baby William to pose for the cameras on the hospital steps, before getting into a car to go home with their newborn son and heir.
