Earlier today, the couple finally introduced their beautiful baby boy to the world. 

“He’s just been the dream so it’s been a special couple of days," Meghan declared.

“It’s magic, it’s pretty amazing. I have the two best guys in the world so I’m really happy.”

As her husband held their son, Meghan added: “He has the sweetest temperament, he’s really calm.”

Baby Sussex was sleeping soundly, wrapped in a white blanket and wearing a delicate white knitted hat.

Asked how he was finding parenting, Harry said: “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.”
