New Zealand was one of the first Commonwealth countries to mark the birth of the Royal baby today with a 21-gun salute.
The New Zealand Defence Force held the salute at Point Jerningham in Wellington at noon.
Troop Commander Lieutenant Michael Doughty said they received word this morning of the birth.
"I've heard that because of the late timing of her birth last night we'll likely be the first country in the world to fire a salute," he said.
About 40 members of the public turned out to watch the salute carried out by members of the 16th Field Regiment, an artillery unit based at Linton Military Camp.
