Prince Harry and Meghan Markle welcome their first child!

3 min read

And finally, the long wait is over! Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s baby is here, and it’s a… BOY!

In his first interview after the birth of his son, Prince Harry has been quoted as saying, “It’s been the most amazing experience I can ever possibly imagine.” 

“How any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension, but we’re both absolutely thrilled.”

He gushed, “I’m so incredibly proud of my wife. And as every father and parent would ever say, your baby is absolutely amazing. But this little thing is absolutely to die for, so I’m just over the moon.”

He added that they are still thinking about names and that they, as a family, will face the people/media in “probably two days’ time as planned” to formally introduce the royal baby. The Prince also thanked well-wishers for their support.

The exciting news was first announced on the SussexRoyal Instagram page on May 6, 2019. The baby was safely delivered at 5:26 am, and weighed 7lbs 3oz (approximately 3.26 kg) at birth.

“We are pleased to announce that Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed their firstborn child in the early morning on May 6th, 2019. Their Royal Highnesses’ son weighs 7lbs. 3oz.

“The Duchess and baby are both healthy and well, and the couple thank members of the public for their shared excitement and support during this very special time in their lives.

“More details will be shared in the forthcoming days,” said the statement.

Earlier, official updates on Twitter had revealed that Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, had gone into labor in the early hours of this morning.

“The Duke of Sussex was by Her Royal Highnesses’ side,” it said.
