A town crier in an elaborate costume _ with no official connection to the royal family ¡§C shouted out the news at the hospital's door, clanging his bell to welcome the new royal.

??????¨ª¡¦??????????¨®?¨ª????????????¨®????????¨¦¨ª¡Á?????¡¦?¡Á¡ã,??¡Á?¨¢????¨²???????¨²¡ä¨®¨¦?¡ä???????.

"May our princess be long-lived, happy and glorious," said Tony Appleton, reading from a scroll in a booming voice.

"?????????????¡Â?????¡è?????????¨§???????????¨ª,"¨ª??¨¢?¡è¡ã???????¨®??¨¦¨¢¨¢??¨¦????¨¢¡Á??¨ª??¨¦?????¡Á?.

?????¨ª???¨§?¨¾??¨®?¡Á??¡Â??¡¦???Morph Thing¨®?¨®??¡è?a???????¡Â???¡ä?¡ä????????¡¦???¨¦???¨¦????????"?¡Á¨®.

Britain's political leaders ¡§C facing a hard-fought general election in just five days ¡§C rushed to congratulate the couple on the baby. Goodwill also poured in from the rest of the world: President Barack Obama said he wished the family "much joy and happiness," while Canadian Prime Minister Steven Harper said the British royal family held a "very special place in our country."

¨®??¨²????¨¢¨§??????????¨§¨§?¨®????¨¢??¡è¨¢???¡ä¨®????????¡Á??¨ª??¡Á???.?????¡Â????¡¦¡Á¡¦¡Á¡¦??¡ä¡Á?????¡ã?¡ã¨ª?¨ª¡Á¨¹¨ª???¨ª?????????"????????",?¨®??¡ä¨®¡Á¨¹?¨ª?¡¦??¡¦??¡è?????¡§Stephen Harper???¨ª??¨®??¨²¨ª???"?¨²?????¨²???¨ª¨®?¨§??a????".

At 21 months, George is third in line to the throne, after his grandfather Prince Charles and his dad William. The newborn princess becomes the fourth in line, bumping Uncle Harry to fifth.

The last princess born so close to the throne was Princess Anne, the queen's second child, in 1950. Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, the daughters of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, were fifth and sixth in line at the time of their birth.

¨¦???????????¡ä????¡ã?????¡Â??¡ã??????¡Â,?¨¢??¨¦?¡ã¡Á??¨ª????¨²??????¡Á¨®,??¨¦¨²¨®¨²1950??.??¡ã?¨§?????(Beatrice)???¡Â?¨ª?¡¦???Y(Eugenie)???¡Â????¡ã?????¨ª?¡Á¨®?¡§Prince Andrew???¨ª¨¦??-?¡è???¨½¨¦-?¡§Sarah Ferguson??????????????¨¦¨²??¡¦??????¨²?????¨²¨¢??????¨§????.

Thanks to a recent change in the law, the new princess will hold her place in the line of succession that for centuries had put boys ahead of their sisters. That means no younger brother will be able to overtake the new princess in the order of preference to inherit the throne.
