The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have proudly showed off their baby son to the world for the first time today as his beaming parents finally presented their ‘own little bundle of joy’ to millions of royal fans across the globe.
Baby Sussex made his very first public appearance at a photocall alongside a thrilled Prince Harry and Meghan in the grounds of Windsor Castle, where the new family have been holed up since the historic birth on Monday.
The couple answered several questions before leaving the hall as they prepared to introduce the infant to the Queen this afternoon, where they are expected to inform the monarch of her great-grandson’s name before telling the rest of the world.
The two-day-old infant was lovingly cradled by his adoring father and watched attentively by Meghan, who was herself pictured for the first time in six weeks since withdrawing from public life ahead of the birth.
The couple appeared to be beside themselves with joy, giggling and looking into each other’s eyes as they spoke, while Harry could not resist sneaking a peek down at his son as he apparently slept.
Speaking for only three minutes from inside the majestic St George’s Hall at Windsor Castle, a radiant Meghan declared:
‘It’s magic, it’s pretty amazing. He’s just been the dream so it’s been a special couple of days.
‘I have the two best guys in the world so I’m really happy. He has the sweetest temperament, he’s really calm.’
Speaking about the baby, proud Dad Harry said:
‘Everyone says that babies change so much over two weeks we’re basically monitoring how the changing process happens over this next month really. But his looks are changing every single day, so who knows.’
Asked how he found parenting, Harry added: ‘It’s great. Parenting is amazing.
‘It’s only been two and a half days, three days, but we’re just so thrilled to have our own little bundle of joy.’
Harry said they were looking forward to spending some ‘precious times with him as he slowly, slowly starts to grow up.’
Later, asked to show more of their son’s face to the cameras, Meghan laughed as Harry joked: ‘He’s already got a little bit of facial hair as well, wonderful.’
Meghan added: ‘Thank you everybody for all the well wishes and kindness, it just means so much.‘
The baby, whose name has not yet been announced, is seventh in line to the throne and the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh’s eighth great-grandchild and the Prince of Wales’s fourth grandchild.
For Baby Sussex’s introduction, Meghan chose a white dress, with a belt that highlighted her post baby bump. Many fans on social media have lauded her as ‘being real’, and showing the reality that most women don’t just ‘snap-back’ to their old bodies immediately after childbirth.
