Meghan Markle is a mom!
The newest addition to the royal family is a healthy baby boy! He was born at 5:26 a.m. this May 6, in London and weighed 7lbs. 3oz.
"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," wrote Meghan, 37, and Prince Harry on their Instagram this morning. "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."
After thew news of the birth broke, Harry, 34, voiced his joy in a video interview outside his home.
“Meghan and myself had a baby boy early this morning, a very healthy boy," he said smiling. “Mother and baby are doing incredibly well. It’s been the most amazing experience I could ever possibly imagine."
“How any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension but we're both absolutely thrilled," continued the new dad, thanking fans for "all the love and support, it's been amazing."
The Prince added that fans will get to see the newborn in two days, as he and Meghan are still thinking of a name for him.
As RadarOnline.com has reported, the new baby is now seventh in the line of succession to the British throne. He will want for nothing, and will come home to Frogmore Cottage, a house on the grounds of Windsor Estate, featuring 10 bedrooms.
The royal home has recently undergone $3 million dollars in home renovations at the order of Meghan and include a gym and yoga studio.
According to historians, Frogmore Cottage is a "Grade II listed house in the grounds of Frogmore House, which was built in 1801 at the direction of Queen Charlotte! The cottage is built on the Frogmore Estate, itself part of Home Park, Windsor, In Berkshire."
As for the newborn’s new digs, insiders say it’s all very modern.
“Don't expect to see any baby pink or baby blue,” royals reporter Katie Nicholl previously revealed. “Apparently, it's going to be a monochrome palette—whites and grays, I'm told, will be the color theme for baby Sussex's nursery."
The new parents asked for inspiration from a variety of friends and family. Even tennis great Serena Williams helped out, decorating the nursery with a full wall-length mood screen that electronically projects soothing images from a number of selection choices.
And tech nerd Prince Harry is finally getting a chance to try his hand at his own inventions, outfitting the nursery with top-of-the-line cameras, security windows, and a state-of-the-art stereo system.
