WATCH: William and Kate talk about Harry and Meghan’s baby

And welcome them to a 'very special society' - by Alice Murphy
  • 08 May 2019

Prince William has broken his silence following the birth of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's first child, Baby Sussex.

The Duke of Cambridge revealed he is "absolutely thrilled" for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex following the birth of their son in the early hours of Monday morning, Daily Mail reports.

The first-time uncle shared his delight over his nephew's arrival while attending the inaugural King's Cup Regatta with wife Kate Middleton in south east London yesterday.

William, 36, said he is "looking forward" to meeting the latest royal baby "in the next few days" once the Sussexes' have adjusted to life as parents, adding: "I'm very pleased and glad to welcome my own brother into the sleep deprivation society that is parenting."

The Duchess of Cambridge, 37, shared her husband's sentiment telling well wishers: "It's such a special time. Obviously with Louis and Charlotte just having had their birthdays it's such a great time of year to have a baby - spring is in the air!"

The Cambridges also revealed they are yet to find out the child's name.

This comes as Harry's father Prince Charles also admitted he has yet to meet his third grandson.

The Prince of Wales and Camilla Parker Bowles touched down in Germany yesterday as part of a planned visit, and conversation swiftly turned to the arrival of Baby Sussex.

"We couldn't be more delighted at the news and we're looking forward to meeting the baby when we return," the Prince of Wales told the press in Berlin.

Despite not being able to meet Baby Sussex, Charles and Camilla looked to be in good spirits whilst out and about in Berlin.

While in the country's capital, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall were gifted with sweet baby gifts for them to take back to Meghan and Harry's royal tot.

The Duchess, who looked utterly delighted with the adorable presents, ensured gift givers that: "As soon as we return I will deliver it to them, direct from Germany. I'm sure they will be thrilled."

Back in Windsor, proud great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth shared her delight at the new royal baby as the Duke of Edinburgh joined her for a rare public appearance.

The reigning couple, who have just become great-grandparents for the eighth time, posed for a group photograph at Windsor Castle in Berkshire during a luncheon for members of the Order of Merit.

The Queen was quizzed about the latest royal arrival by former Prime Minister of Canada, the Rt Hon Jean Chretien.

“Life is good for Your Majesty?” Mr Chretien asked.

The smiling Queen replied: “Yes, thank you”

“Congratulations. Another great-grandchild!” he added.

The Queen replied happily: “Yes, I know.”

She was then asked “How many of them have you got now?” before replying “Eight”.

Mr Chretien quipped: “You beat me by one.”

Buckingham Palace said on Monday the Queen and Prince Philip were “delighted” at the news of the birth of Harry and Meghan’s baby son.
