Take a look at Prince Harry share this exciting news in a heartwarming update.
The news we have been waiting months for finally broke today.
The royal baby is finally here! Kensington Palace has confirmed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have welcomed a healthy baby boy into the world. Congrats!
While the baby’s name hasn’t been released, we know that baby and mom are happy and healthy.
The newest addition made his way into the world in the early hours of May 6, 2019 and reportedly weighs 7 lbs 3 oz.
Meghan is likely and understandably still recovering from the delivery.
We knew that Meghan wasn’t planning on making an immediate public appearance with her new baby in the same way Prince William and Kate Middleton did after the birth of their children.
Instead of a photo-op with Meghan and the baby, Prince Harry gave an update to reporters.
Wearing a quarter-zip sweater (I can already tell Harry has the dad fashion down), Harry could barely contain his excitement as he told the press, “I’m very excited to announce that Meghan and myself had a baby boy.”
Harry also took the time to share how proud he was of Meghan.
“It’s been the most amazing experience I could ever have possibly imagined. How any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension… I’m so incredibly proud of my wife,” he said .
Where are the tissues?! I am sobbing into my keyboard as I type this.
Besides thanking well-wishers from across the world for their support, Prince Harry also said that we will likely meet the baby, “in two days’ time”.
At that time, it is expected that they will also have decided on a name. Prince Harry said the baby was a little overdue, and that he and Meghan had some extra time to think about names.
Royal fans from around the world were touched by Prince Harry’s update.
Like a lot of new dads, he seemed so deliriously happy and excited. It was really sweet to watch.
Some people also took a moment to remember Prince Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana.
Just when I thought I couldn’t cry anymore, I read this tweet. I’m sure Princess Diana is in Harry and Meghan’s hearts today as they celebrate their family.
Congratulations again on a healthy baby, Prince Harry and Meghan! We can’t wait to find out the name.
