UK: The man who delivered baby Prince George described bringing him into the world as a “lovely experience” as he was today knighted for services to the Royal Family.

Gynaecologist Sir Marcus Setchell received his honour from proud dad Prince William, who was standing in for the Queen at the investiture service.

The pair chatted as the Duke of Cambridge dubbed Sir Marcus a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (RVO), an honour personally bestowed by the Queen.

Afterwards, Setchell said William told him George was a “bouncing baby”.

He said about working for the Queen and her family: “Well of course it’s a great honour and it’s very nice that I was able to serve her for 24 years and that the culmination of it was that Prince George should be born.

“Being a gynaecologist and obstetrician must be one of the nicest jobs in the world.

“There are sometimes things where people are having difficulty getting pregnant or having problems gynaecologically but a great part of the job is thoroughly joyful and it’s just a wonderful job to have done.

“I think even after doing this job for 40 years, every birth is exciting, moving and lovely.”

Of Prince George’s birth last July, he said: “The job of doing it is just the same pleasurable, lovely experience and one hopes for the couple as well...

“There were slight added tensions because of the interest of your profession (the media), and the world.”

Setchell served for 24 years as the Queen’s surgeon-gynaecologist before retiring last year.

Kate attended his leaving lunch earlier this month.

It seems the royal couple aren't planning on having any more children just yet - at yesterday's St Patrick's Day Parade William told a former regimental sergeant major "one is enough at the moment" when asked about any future family plans.
