Prince Harry and Meghan Markle turned proud parents to a baby boy yesterday as the couple made an announcement via their official Instagram handle.

Later in the day, Harry took out time to speak with the press that had gathered at Windsor. Elated at becoming a father for the first time, he said,"Yes, I am very excited to announce that Meghan and myself had a baby boy early this morning. A very healthy boy. Mother and baby are doing incredibly well. It's been the most amazing experience I can ever possibly imagine. How any woman does... what they do is beyond comprehension. But we are both absolutely thrilled and so grateful to all the love and support from everybody out there."

He mentioned that he was there when Meghan gave birth to their child. Harry further added, "It's been amazing. So, I just wanted to share this with everybody. Still thinking about names. The baby is a little bit overdue so we've had a little bit of time to think about it. But we're still… That's the next bit for us."
