The Duke, who made a surprise appearance with his brother Prince Harry at a sports centre, did engage in several conversations.
After watching judo and playing table tennis with young people at the new sports centre, the Duke was given a bag of presents for the baby.
The new born is a younger brother to Prince George, 4, and Princess Charlotte, 2, and is Queen Elizabeth II’s sixth great-grandchild.
His birth was also a significant moment for Charlotte, the first princess who will not be overtaken in the line of succession by her younger brother.
Before the 2013 Succession to the Crown Act, the newborn prince would have jumped above his older sister in the line for the throne.
But the act means that a female’s claim to the royal throne can no longer be diminished by a younger brother.
