Prince Harry and Meghan Markle just debuted their royal baby!
On Wednesday, Harry and Meghan showed off their baby at Windsor Castle. Meghan told reporters, “It’s magic. It’s pretty amazing. I have two of the best guys in the world, so I’m really happy.”
Of their bundle of joy, Meghan added, “He has the sweetest temperament… he’s just been the dream. It’s been a special couple of days.”
When asked who he looks like, Harry commented, “Everybody says the baby changes so much over two weeks. We’re monitoring how the changing process happens over this month really. His looks change every single day.”
Along with saying parenting is “amazing,” Harry added, “We’re just so thrilled to have our own bundle of joy and being able to spend some precious times with him as he slowly starts to grow up.”
The couple have not revealed his name yet.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex chose to break royal tradition by skipping the photo op outside the hospital in which he was born. Instead, they wanted to make the announcement on their own terms, after celebrating privately as a family.
