over. >> reporter: it is over. what a cheer you heard through the crowd this morning when the announcement was made. that was the first indication we got of the royal fans letting out a roar. before we knew it we had an announcement from kensington

palace saying a baby girl had been born. prince william drove kate to the hospital early this morning london time. just two and a half hours later, she gave birth to a princess. prince george's reign as an only child is over. his baby sister arrived a short time ago. kensington palace tweeting her royal highness safely delivered a daughter at 8:34 a.m. new princess will knock uncle harry down to fifth in line for the throne. the new king or queen order, charles and william and prince george and his little sister and finally prince harry. betting on the baby's gender

heir. a role that has its own responsibilities. but for now, it's time to celebrate the newest members of the royal family. so what's next? the town cryer made the big announcement in front of the hospital. well wishers are gathering here and at buckingham palace awaiting for the proclamation at the spot. once again, back to the hospital here. when george was born prince william and kate stayed the night with prince george and coming out the front door to a huge line of cameras the next day introducing him to the world. we know they will be leaving through the front door. we just don't know when.

will it be today or tomorrow? of course the other big question mark. the name. alice, charlotte, elizabeth? we don't know. erica and thomas? >> exactly. thank you. kelly cobiella thank you. we have royal expert with us this morning. good morning. >> good morning. >> this all happened quickly from the time we got the notice until we got the birth announcement which was exciting. people have been waiting. do we know the big question? the name. do we have a sense of the timing on when we may know? >> reporter: no sense at all. we will probably get an indication today. my sources are suggesting that kate will leave here at some point today. this will be done and dusted by this evening. she has given birth in quick time. two and a half hours. not say that made it easy. labor is never easy.

sources here is a the picture is changing rapidly. it would not be a surprise for parents out there that this couple may want to leave sooner or later to introduce the little girl to her brother prince george. any parents know that is the important focus for new parents of a second child. they want to introduce the newborn to the existing child and they want to do that away from the media. kate could come in here this morning and have the baby and be back at home time for dinner that could be something, couldn't it? >> that would be a lot. as a woman who had two babies more power to her if she can pull that off. when you talk about george and visitors. in her leaving as soon as tonight, is that more of an effort to keep the cameras off george and allow them a better or comfortable visiting time with parents as opposed to having everybody come to the hospital? >> reporter: possibly yes.

kensington palace is not confirming if prince george is brought here by the nanny or charles and camilla. remember two years ago, almost, we did have the middletons coming in and charles coming to the hospital. this is different. the focus is on prince george and making sure the introduction is smooth. that said prince william did visit prince harry, born a saturday all those years ago. they may want to repeat history. it is a rapidly moving process behind closed doors. they are making decisions by the minute. >> everybody awaiting news of the name. have we heard anything from the queen? any reaction? >> reporter: well, we know the queen was one of the first to be informed. william informed close family and friends of the baby and before the press found out.

she is at richmond castle 200 miles north on a military engagement with the duke of york. she will be kept abreast of the situation. prince charles always wanted a baby granddaughter. >> camilla, thank you. we want to head to baltimore with a relative night of calm after the arrest of six officers in the death of freddie gray. they were all charged. in just a moment we will speak to the state attorney who brought charges against the officers. we begin with lester who spent a good deal of time in baltimore covering the story for us. lester you were there for "nightly news" last night. good morning. nice to have you with us. >> reporter: good morning, erica. those who expected charges, were stunned by how quickly they came down and laid out a very disturbing scenario. it says freddie gray's neck was broken after being face down in

the police wagon. he was shackled and there was no seatbelt. the officers charged had several opportunities to render him medical aid and failed to do so. the six accused officers scene in the mug shots released friday. their arrests come 19 days after their part in the arrest of freddie gray for carrying a knife at the city's chief prosecutor says was not illegal. >> lieutenant rice officer miller and officer nero failed to establish probable cause for mr. gray's arrest. no crime had been committed by mr. gray. >> reporter: state's attorney marilyn mosby says the officers ignored the pleas for help as he was held face down on the pavement. he was loaded face down on the floor of the van and his request for a doctor was denied. >> he suffered a critical neck injury as a result of handcuffed

and shackle by his feet and unrestrained in the wagon. >> reporter: video shows officers did stop the van at one point to check on gray but allegedly, he receives no help. it's when officers stopped to pick up another prisoner, they discover gray is unconscious and call a medic. the van driver faces the most serious charge. second-degree murder. four also charged with involuntary manslaughter. three with false imprisonment. all accused of assault and misconduct. baltimore police union leaders are demanding a special prosecutor take over the case. >> i have never seen such a hurried rush to file criminal charges. >> reporter: gray's family welcome the charges. >> today is a momentous step on the road to justice. >> reporter: some celebrations of the arrest turned ugly friday night when a few protesters defied the citywide curfew clashing with police.

still, in contrast to tuesday's broader violence. gray's death has only reinforced distrust of police in some baltimore communities. including latish walker's youngest son. >> what are you afraid of? >> i don't know. i'm scared. >> it is difficult how to behave when they are not doing anything wrong. >> reporter: another large demonstration planned here today. it was to be a protest. organizers are calling it a victory rally. they anticipate as many as 10,000 erica. >> lester you mentioned and we saw overnight, a fairly calm and peaceful reaction. i still notice it looks like a tank behind you. is that what we are seeing? >> reporter: behind me well this is where that skermish took place in front of city hall. national guard maintaining this line here. calm at this hour of the morning. we expect a lot of people for

the rally later. >> it will be busy. lester nice to have you with us. thank you. >> marilyn mosby is the state attorney handling the case. you heard her in lester's piece. marilyn, it is great to have you here. police are coming out and the fop and union saying this is an egregious rush to charge the six officers. how do you respond? >> i think that is absurd. for my investigative team from the beginning and at the outset we sent investigators and we spent between 12 and 14 hours a day trying to get to the bottom of this and what happened in this case. the baltimore police department dedicated about 50 detectives to try to get to the bottom of the case. i think that is absolutely absurd. >> when you say that is absurd and you talk about the fact you did your independent investigation, i have the statement of charges here that talks about the fact that

freddie was charged with a switch blade or spring-activated knife. has your office seen the evidence? have you seen the evidence and you know for yourself this was not an unlawful knife? >> what i can tell you is exactly what i stated yesterday. what's in the statement of probable cause. i can tell you we did an independent investigation, my investigators went to the scene and spoke to witnesses. i went to the scene. i spoke to witnesses. i can't get too far into the details of the case because it is a pending matter. i can tell you that everything that is indicated in the statement of probable cause is accurate. >> so mrs. mosby, let me ask you about the neighborhood where freddie was apprehended. i was in baltimore all week. on most of the corners of buildings there, there are citywide cameras. in the spot a camera there as well. there's no video that exists of his full takedown and arrest from that camera.

correct? >> i can't tell you what evidence we have again. this is a pending investigation, but i can tell you that we have reviewed hours of cctv footage, period. so let's talk about one thing you have been combatting against, the fact that there are people saying there's a conflict of interest, because your husband is a councilman and you live in the district from freddie gray lives and grew up. what do you say in response to that can you handle this without bias? >> i say that that's absolutely absurd. i'm the baltimore city's state's attorney. i purchase every crime, including my own jurisdiction. i live in the heart of west baltimore, raising two little girls. i don't see what the conflict of the interest is. i have to prosecute every crime that takes place in the city of baltimore. my husband is a lawmaker and i enforce the laws. >> merrill i mosby, thank you

for taking out the time there's an additional appeal for the help in the area of nepal. good morning. >> good morning, officials say many survivors are in help. >> this as officials say aid is being held up's customs in the airport. the death toll from the disaster is now close to 7,000. a dangerous white house fire is burning in ohio this morning. officials are asking people to stay inside shut their windows or find shelter somewhere else. the smoke from the fire is likely toxic. officials say it will likely take the entire weekend to put out the flames. thousands are without power, and still no work on the cause b.b. king says he's

receiving hospice care at las vegas. he posted the news on friday. back in october he canceled the final shows of his tour after falling ill. he was diagnosed with diabetes decades ac. and alex rodriguez tied willie mays for fourth place with his 660th home run. rodriguez was pinch-hitting when it broke a tie at fenway park friday, let to a 3-2 victory for the yankees. he's playing his first season. guys back to you that was a major thing to accomplish. a-rod is back. >> and he says he's not done. >> we're probably forgiving him right now. we know what that's line. >> thanks janell. dylan is in kentucky this morning. sheer there for the running of the derby, looking fabulous with

the hat. >> she's done a fashion change. >> no it is a different one. >> it's a bigger hat. let's be honest why am i here? >> i've got my eyes on you, sillen. i see what you are doing. >> yes they will change throughout the show. again it's the 141st running of the kentucky derby. here at churchill downs since 1875 this race has been going off, the longest continuing running -- fasters most exciting two minutes in sports. we are looking for a gorgeous day in louisville where temperatures will eventually warm up. it is a chilly morning here but we will see lots of sunshine. we had some rain on thursday and that was it for this weekend. we are looking at a gorgeous temperature for the race later on today, mid 70s by this evening, a nice warm-up across

that is changing hats and helping you with this or are you on hat duty all alone? >> they have just on head bands. they are easy to pop on. >> secrets behind the scenes. i love that. >> dylan, thanks. nbc is your home for the kentucky derby. coverage begins at noon on nbc sports. you can watch the running live here on nbc. coming up caught up on the week in news. a busy one from the unbelievable stories of survival in nepal to our lip sync with hoda. but first this is "today" on nbc.

with likely anthony kennedy with the split vote. and nik wallenda walking the orlando eye for the record. >> let's get it started. >> here we go. >> it's spinning toward him. >> there's a lot of moisture. you can see it rolling under my feet. >> he's hyperventilating. >> may be close to reaching his goal. >> looks like he's there. nik, congratulations. and an epic lip sync battle. >> hoda kotb. ♪ when a girl walks in with an itty bitty thing in your face ♪ ♪ >> no contest, hoda of course was crowned the winner. >> way to go hoda. >> there was no contest with hoda. >> brilliant. >> she owned it. >> we admitted that.

i never heard of the song when i first started here. hoda said i want you to hear this song. it will be big. she knew every word of it then. obviously it is huge. this was her time. she was so good. >> his first song you didn't know the words. where hoda knew every word to "baby got back." >> that's what the microphone is for. to hide. >> that's your girl. >> congratulations to her. still to come on "today," you will never guess what is trending on social media. royal baby. we are back with the crowds in buckingham palace in anticipation of the birth announcement. the easel getting ready for the proclamation. we are getting ready for the fight of the century in vegas. as floyd mayweather jr. and manny pacquiao. we put the emphasis on the wrong

mayor's office backtracking at what he calls an attempt at humor which fell flat t happened on his birthday passing along well wishes to other people who shared his birthday including hitler. russo now says the post was insensitive and appropriate. mayor liccardo reached a statement saying quote, i personally reached out to nurmous leaders in the jewish community for their advice and to convey my apologies. i am treating this matter seriously and regret any hurt caused in this lapse of judgment. san jose bar busted for serving more than just drinks. liquor license was pulled after undercover agents caught employees performing sex acts right in front of other customers. the club was also serving alcohol past its midnight

with the name. >> reporter: that is right. when george was born it happened in three days. born on the 22nd. kate and william stayed overnight. they arrived through the front door the next day. spoke to the media as you remember and the third day, after george was born we got to hear the name. will that be the same this time? we simply don't know. this is a quick birth. quicker than george. kate was in labor with george for 10 and 1/2 hours. she had a princess just hours after arriving from the hospital. people have gathered at buckingham palace awaiting for the next official moment where the baby announcement. the paper proclamation will be placed on the easel at buckingham palace. a tweet from the prime minister offering his congratulations.
