It’s a boy! Meghan Markle has welcomed her first child with Prince Harry. On Monday, the Duchess of Sussex gave birth at 05:26 a.m. with Harry by her side. According to BBC, Harry said they were “absolutely thrilled” and Meghan and the baby are doing “incredibly well.”
Shortly after, the couple announced the arrival of their little one on their Instagram account. “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,” the caption read. “Their Royal Highnesses’ son weighs 7lbs. 3oz. 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.”
According to Buckingham Palace, Queen Elizabeth, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Lady Jane Fellowes, Lady Sarah McCorquodale, and Earl Spencer have all been informed about the birth of Meghan and Harry’s first child and are “delighted with the news.”
Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, is also with Meghan and Harry at Frogmore Cottage and is “overjoyed by the arrival of her first grandchild.”
The royal couple are still thinking about names, but we do have a few ideas about what the little boy may be called.
The palace announced Meghan’s pregnancy back in October 2018, as the couple embarked on their royal tour of Australia, New Zealand, Tonga, and Fiji. The duchess attended many royal engagements during her pregnancy, including a short royal tour of Morocco, a Commonwealth Day service, and a speaking panel on International Women’s Day. Her last official appearance was on a visit to New Zealand House on March 19.
