The Royal Navy celebrated the birth with a special photograph of HMS Albion. 

The child will now be 5th in line to the throne following the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

When Speaker John Bercow told the Commons: "I am sure the whole House would want to join me in sending Their Royal Highnesses, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, our warmest congratulations on the birth of their son.", Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson added:

"I'd very much like to associate the Government with your comments and warm wishes."

Meanwhile, ABF the soldier's charity also extended their congratulations.
