Not all is what it seems in the picture that has been doing the rounds on social media.

The photo, taken while William visited the Lindo Wing following after the Duchess of Cambridge gave birth, appears to show the prince giving the middle finger from one perspective.

However, as The Sun pointed out, he was really putting up three fingers. There’s one for each of his kids.

Wills was walking towards his car after the big announcement with Kate when he turned to reporters and joked: “We are very happy, very delighted – thrice the worry now!”

“We didn’t keep you waiting too long this time.”

To reveal the new Prince of Cambridge to the world, his overjoyed parents stepped on the stairs outside the hospital.

Despite the five-and-a-half-hour labor, Kate looked stunning as she held the baby in her arms.

After days of anticipation, the Royal baby’s name was finally revealed today – Louis – which is a tribute to Prince Philip’s uncle and great uncle, who was killed by the IRA in a 1979 bomb assault.

The couple are also parents to 4-year-old Prince George and 2-year-old Princess Charlotte. Prince Louis is the couple’s second son and will be the fifth in line to the throne.

Louis is also the middle name of George’s brother.

With odds of just 20/1, the new name stunned the globe, whereas Arthur, Alexander, and Albert were the overwhelming favorites.

“The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to announce that they have named their son Louis Arthur Charles,” Kensington Palace said in a statement on Twitter.

“The baby will be known as His Royal Highness Prince Louis of Cambridge.”
