Prince Charles is beaming these days and it's because of his newest granddaughter courtesy of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

In his first public appearance after the birth of Princess Charlotte, Prince Williams was very chatty with photographers.

"I was hoping for a grand-daughter," he said, according to Daily Mail. "Someone to look after me when I am very old."

During a visit to the Poundbury Gardens, Prince Charles was gifted a rose by Lucy Simpson who said that the flower is named after Prince William and Kate Middleton's baby girl, Princess Charlotte.

He beamed, "A Charlotte Rose? You have managed to do that already? How marvellous. How jolly nice to see it. It will look beautiful in my gardens."

Then Prince Charles told researchers and staff at the Poundbury Cancer Institute about the birth of Prince William and Kate Middleton's baby. "I am really rather thrilled," he said.

The Duchess of Cambridge delivered at the Lindo Wing of Saint Mary's Hospital, the same hospital were Prince George was born two years ago.

Prince William and Kate Middleton's baby, Princess Charlotte, was born at 8.34 a.m., fully healthy and weighing 8lbs 3oz.

At 11 a.m., the Kensington Palace released a statement on the website informing the arrival of the princess. A town crier also made the announcement outside the hospital.

"The Duke and Duchess make a quick appearance to show Princess Cambridge to an ecstatic crowd. They then make their way home after retreating to the Lindo Wing for a few short minutes," the article said.

Meanwhile, Queen Elizabeth apparently doesn't mind getting dirty for Princess Charlotte as she changed her diapers while Prince William and Kate Middleton looked on.

"When the Queen met Princess Charlotte, she did what any great granny would do - rolled up her sleeves and changed her nappy, apparently," Daily Mirror said. "New pictures reveal Her Majesty's touching first encounter with the royal newborn, in front of smiling parents Prince William and Kate Middleton."
