Just two days after giving birth, Meghan Markle and husband Prince Harry introduced the world to their little one on Wednesday.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stood together at St George’s Hall at Windsor Castle in Berkshire, with Harry holding the little on in his arms.
For the occasion, Meghan wore a sleeveless white dress with gold buttons and suede heels, while Harry wore a grey suit and blue tie. The new royal baby was swaddled in white.
The Duchess of Sussex went into labor early Monday morning and welcomed a son later that day, weighing 7 pounds, 3 ounces.
Buckingham Palace announced at the time that mother and son were doing well and said other members of the royal family were “delighted” by the news.
“The Duchess’s mother, Doria Ragland, who is overjoyed by the arrival of her first grandchild, is with Their Royal Highnesses at Frogmore Cottage,” a statement from the palace said.
No one was happier than Harry, who spoke to the media a few hours after his son was born.
“It’s been the most amazing experience I can ever possibly imagine,” the duke said, smiling and laughing with the press. “How any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension”
He added, “I haven’t been at many births ― this was definitely my first birth but it’s amazing. Absolutely incredible. 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.”
Prince William and Kate Middleton also sent sweet congratulations to the new parents on Tuesday.
“I’m very pleased and glad to welcome my brother to the sleep deprivation society that is parenting!” he said, later adding that he and Kate are “absolutely thrilled and looking forward to seeing them in the next few days when things have quieted down.”
It’s been reported that Queen Elizabeth will visit the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on Wednesday to meet their little one.
