Alexia of Greece, the daughter of former King Constantine and his wife Anne-Marie, proudly cradled her newborn baby daughter on Sunday as she left a Barcelona hospital.

Emerging into the Spanish sunshine, the new mum was accompanied by her husband, Carlos Morales, and her first child, one-year-old Arrietta. "Ana Maria looks like the Greek branch of the family, while Arrietta looks more like my family," said Canary Islands-born Carlos of his new daughter.

The four-day-old child was also joined by both sets of grandparents as she greeted the world for the first time.
