The announcement was made in the classic way as Prince William’s birth 31 years ago : an official proclamation listing the baby’s date and time of birth (4:24 p.m.), as well as his weight (8 pounds, 6 ounces), was posted on easel placed outside Buckingham Palace, where crowds had gathered, some for weeks, in anticipation of its placement.
