Members of the British Royal Navy gave a special tribute to the new royal baby, a girl, who was born on Saturday to Kate Middleton and Prince William.
The child joins big brother Prince George, 1, and the little princess is now the fourth in line to the British throne. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have not yet revealed her name. Hours after they welcomed their new daughter, palace officials said William would leave the hospital to visit their son, who was home at Kensington Palace, located less than 10 minutes away from the hospital, St. Mary's.
The couple was congratulated online by scores of fans and royal and other official organizations. The Royal Navy shared a photo of their tribute—members standing in formation to spell "SISTER" on the deck of the HMS Lancaster.

More congratulatory messages were sent from the likes of MapAction, an International disaster mapping charity of which William's brother Prince Harry is a patron, and the Welsh Rugby Union.
Amid speculation Kate would give birth in late April, Harry had popped into town earlier this week during a leave from a temporary embed with the Australian Defense Force, to present medals at the London Marathon, and later flew back to Australia.
