Just like her first two pregnancies, Kate Middleton looked like absolute perfection when exiting the Lindo Wing with Prince William and their third child. The proud mom wore a red shift with a white lace collar by Jenny Packham paired with nude Gianvito Rossi heels. GETTY IMAGES Her sartorial choice couldn't help but remind some well-wishers of her late mother-in-law, Diana, Princess of Wales, who stood in the same place decades before. For Prince Harry's birth in 1984, the late Princess wore a long red jacket over collared layer with a matching pair of low red heels.

Anne, Princess Royal actually updated the former status quo of giving birth at a royal residence when she selected St Mary's for her children's births in 1977 and 1981. Diana followed suit in 1982 with Prince William and later 1984 with Prince Harry. Both times she and Prince Charles exited the building and posed for photographers with their newborn sons. With Prince William, she wore a loose green polka-dot dress paired with red flats, waving to photographers as the new dad cradled the future king.
