Lady Helen Taylor and her art dealer husband Tim have welcomed a new addition to their family, a baby girl.

The 38-year-old daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Kent gave birth on Sunday. Already mum to Columbus, eight, and six-year-old Cassius, Lady Helen is said to be "delighted" to have added a little girl to her growing family.

A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said mum and baby are doing well, but declined to give details on where the birth took place or the name of the infant.

The happy news comes nearly five years after Lady Helen's 39-year-old husband was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s disease, a form of cancer which attacks the lymph nodes. The ailment has a high survival rate, and Tim has been in remission since 2000.

The couple have been married since 1992.
