Countess of Wessex Leaves Hospital With Baby
Prince Edward's wife, the Countess of Essex, has left hospital with the couple's newborn baby boy.
Sophie, 42, left Frimley Park Hospital in Surrey on Thursday. She had been recovering from a Caesarean section in a private unit in the hospital, where she gave birth to the child, the couple's second, on Monday.
The couple emerged from the hospital to cheers and claps from nurses, a small crowd of well-wishers and members of the press.
They were then driven back to their home in Bagshot Park.
A spokesperson for the couple said: "The couple are very much looking forward to taking the baby home in time for Christmas. He is the perfect Christmas present.
"Sophie is very, very happy. She has been full of big smiles and is very bubbly. All the nurses have been cooing over the baby."
The couple have not yet named the baby, who weighed 6lbs 20z when he was born. He is likely to take the title Viscount Severn.
The couple already have a four-year-old daughter, Lady Louise Windsor.
