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.

 

Congratulations!!!

 

Prince Harry: "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.” 

• Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has given birth to a baby boy, seventh in line to the throne.(The royal baby's cousins Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, the children of William and Kate Middleton, are ahead of both Baby Sussex and Harry in the line of succession, so it's very unlikely that either will see the crown.)
• Buckingham Palace recently announced the couple's plans to skip the famous Lindo Wing photo op after the birth.
• Instead, Meghan and Prince Harry will host a photo call with their new son at Windsor Castle in "a few days."
• The tradition of posing outside the exclusive maternity ward at St. Mary's Hospital in London began with Princess Diana and Prince Charles after the birth of Prince William in 1982.
