B.C. Premier Christy Clark has issued a statement to mark the birth of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s son.
“I am delighted to offer my heartfelt congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the birth of their first child,” said Clark.
“We join in welcoming a new generation to the Royal Family. We also celebrate the renewal of an institution that ties us to our shared history across the Commonwealth.
“For many British Columbians, the monarchy serves as a symbol of stability and hope in times of global transformation. With the birth of their baby boy, this promise and commitment is renewed for another generation. On behalf of all British Columbians, I wish the new family health, happiness, and joy.”
The newborn, who is eight pounds, six ounces, is third in line to the throne.
