MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry are settling in to their brand new life as a family of three after welcoming Baby Sussex on Monday.
The couple will today show off their baby boy to the world, with royal fans hopeful the newborn’s name will be announced.
The proud parents had shared news of the arrival of their son on Monday, who was born at 5.26am.
A statement posted on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s official Instagram account read: “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.”
They reportedly spent their first night together as a family on Monday, with it a “peaceful and emotional” night at their newly renovated Frogmore Cottage.
The couple had hoped to have a home birth but mum Meghan was ultimately taken to hospital.
Harry was at his wife’s side during Monday’s birth. He later confessed he had only had a few hours’ sleep, suggesting Meghan, 37, had spent much of the night in labour.
Just hours after his son was born, he announced the news, saying: “We’re both absolutely thrilled and so grateful for all the love and support from everybody out there.
“It’s been amazing”.
The excited new dad also gushed about his wife, saying: “How any woman does that is beyond comprehension.”
Today, the couple are expected to show off their baby boy at their Windsor home to a small media contingent.
The couple’s son is the seventh-in-line to the throne, following on from Prince Charles, Prince William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis and Prince Harry.
The couple have been inundated with messages of congratulations from across the world.
