Pahor congratulated the royal couple on behalf of the Slovenian nation and in his own name. He said this wonderful event brought a new light into the life of the parents, a new momentum for Great Britain, and joy to Slovenian citizens and people around the world.

The wife of Prince William, Kate, gave birth to a baby boy in London on Monday.

Slovenia has already sent to Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge a special cradle as a gift for the occasion.

The cradle was designed by a team headed by Slovenian innovator Erika Drobnič, who has developed a multi-purpose cradle that is marketed under the brand name Kiara.
