英首相卡梅倫喜得千金

British Prime Minister David Cameron's wife Samantha has given birth to a baby girl, his office said.

"Both the baby -- who was born weighing 6lbs 1oz (2.7 kg) -- and Mrs Cameron are doing very well," a statement from the prime minister's Downing Street office said.

The last British prime minister to have a baby in office was former Labor leader Tony Blair, whose wife Cherie gave birth to their fourth child, Leo, in May 2000. Leo Blair was the first child born to a serving British prime minister for 150 years.

The Camerons' baby, who has not yet been named, was born at midday Tuesday, a few weeks earlier than expected, while the couple were on holiday in Cornwall, southwest England.

Center-right Conservative leader Cameron, 43, has led a coalition government since the election in May. Samantha Cameron, 39, announced shortly after the poll she would step down as creative director of luxury goods retailer Smythson.

The couple have two other children, Nancy and Arthur, born in 2004 and 2006 respectively. Their eldest son, Ivan, died in February last year aged six. He had suffered from cerebral palsy and severe epilepsy.

英國首相辦公室日前稱，首相大衛•卡梅倫的夫人薩曼莎日前產下一名女嬰。

唐寧街首相辦公室在一份聲明中稱：“孩子出生時體重爲6磅1盎司（2.7公斤），首相夫人和寶寶目前狀況都很好。”

英國上一屆在在任期間得子的首相是前工黨領袖託尼•布萊爾，2000年5月，他的夫人切麗生下兩人的第四個孩子里奧。這是150年來首個在唐寧街首相府出生的孩子。

卡梅倫的女兒於本週二中午出生，比預產期提前了幾周，當時卡梅倫夫婦正在英格蘭西南部的康沃爾度假。目前孩子還沒有起名。

43歲的卡梅倫是英國中右翼黨派保守黨的領袖，他於今年5月贏得大選，成爲英國聯合政府領導人。卡梅倫的夫人、39歲的薩曼莎在大選後不久宣佈辭去奢侈品零售商Smythson的創意總監一職。

卡梅倫和薩曼莎還有兩個孩子——2004年出生的南茜和2006年出生的亞瑟。他們的大兒子伊萬因患腦癱和嚴重癲癇病於去年2月去世，年僅六歲。
