"This little thing is absolutely to die for,” says proud father Prince Harry
After months of speculation over the birth of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal baby, Baby Sussex is finally born, abeit slightly overdue. The Buckingham Palace announced today at 6:30am (GMT+1) that the Duchess of Sussex had gone into labour at the early hours of the morning, and confirmed one hour later that the baby was safely delivered at 5:26am. As we await more details from the Buckingham Palace, here’s everything we know about Baby Sussex.
It’s a boy
Harry and Meghan’s firstborn child is a baby boy, weighing 7lbs. 3oz. at birth. A beaming Harry appeared live from the Windsor Castle, sharing that the “little thing is absolutely to die for” and that it has “been the most amazing experience [he] could ever possibly imagine”. Both Meghan and the baby are doing well. The Duke of Sussex also told press that they are still deciding on the boy’s name, which will likely be announced in two days.
Names that punters are betting on include traditional names like Albert, Arthur, Alexander, James, Phillip, Henry, Frederick, Thomas, and Edward—though the Sussexes might just surprise us, with their track record for going against royal tradition.
