Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex and wife of Britain's Prince Harry, went into labour in the early hours of Monday and gave birth to their first baby. And yes! Meghan gave birth to a baby boy.

The baby, seventh-in-line to the British throne, "is absolutely to die for", the prince told reporters.


In a formal announcement on their official Instagram account, the royal couple said that they "welcomed their firstborn child in the early morning on May 6th, 2019. Their Royal Highnesses' son weighs 7lbs. 3oz". (3.2 kg)

"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."

The child, the royal couple's first, is the seventh-in-line to the British throne.
