Christ Church celebrates the birth of the royal baby by flying the Royal Standard of Henry VIII
As the world now knows, The Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to a baby boy at 16.25 BST on Monday. Kensington Palace announced the news of the birth just after 20:30 BST on 22 July 2013, and the news was confirmed by Buckingham Palace, shortly afterwards. On Tuesday, Christ Church celebrated the event by flying the Royal Standard of Henry VIII above Tom Quad.
As Christ Church was founded in Henry VIII 1546, the college retains the right to fly the Royal Standard of its founder.
