As the world celebrates the arrival of a future king – a Kent psychic has made a host of royal predictions.

Medium Charlotte Clarke, from the Isle of Sheppey, has told how she believes the baby will fair hair and "look more like William".

And she has predicted the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will have a total of four children... with a daughter to follow "quite quickly".

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were due to leave St Mary's Hospital in London today as the world awaited the first glimpse of their first child.

Kate gave birth to the royal baby boy, weighing 8lbs 6oz, at 4.24pm yesterday with Prince William by her side.

Medium Miss Clarke, who lives in Harty, said she had foreseen the exciting news as far back as 2011.

Although she was slightly out on the date - saying either 2012 or early this year - she was spot on with the gender.

She also had a feeling the name would be unusual and break with tradition.

Miss Clarke believes the Queen will have some input on what the couple call their child.

She went on to say she thinks Kate and William will have four children in total, with a daughter to follow quite quickly.

"I feel he will look more like William and have fair hair," she said.

"I feel Kate will want to be a strong mother and bring him up how Diana did."

She also predicted a forthcoming holiday in September or October for the royal couple, but said she did not know if they would be joined by their son.

"I knew it was going to be a boy – I'm very pleased to hear the news and I'm glad everything went well," Miss Clarke added.

Elsewhere across Kent, parents whose children were born on the same day as the royal baby have sent their best wishes.

Lewis Spore was 22 minutes away from having an ordinary birthday, but a late-night dash ensured he shared the occasion with the future king.

Born two weeks early and weighing 5lbs 15oz, he arrived at 11.38pm last night – seven hours after the royal baby.

It was a glorious end to a manic day for parents Amanda Jane and David Mankelow, from Herne Bay, who had not expected their son to make such an early appearance.

Vicky Hobson, from Leybourne, was among those to give birth at Maidstone Hospital's birthing centre.

She had her baby Zach at 11.40am yesterday - a few hours before the new prince was born.

Zach weighed in at one pound heavier than Kate and Williams' new arrival, at 9lbs 6ozs, and has two excited siblings waiting at home for him with dad Ross - Eva, five, and three-year-old Cameron.

Mrs Hobson said: "It is lovely to share the same day; it is an honour really and pretty amazing," adding: "Although to be fair, their baby was really born on Zach's birthday."

And royalists Joe and Hannah Cooper say their new-born son George is their "very own little prince".

The Ramsgate couple celebrated the birth of George yesterday evening shortly after 9pm - hours after Prince William and Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, announced the birth of their son, who is third in line to the throne.

Happy parents Joe, 26, and 24-year-old Hannah decided six months ago to call their newborn George, the name widely tipped by the pundits that the royals will call their first child.

Joe said: "It is a name we hit upon early in Hannah's pregnancy - and our other son who is 20 months old is called Charles so it fits in with the royal names that way too.

"We are great fans of the royal family. They are fantastic for this country and we are proud and privileged our son was born on the same day as an heir to the throne, and at the Queen Mother Hospital too - it is something our little prince will carry with him all his life."
