Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Welcome Healthy Baby Boy

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, are the proud parents of a new baby boy.

The baby, who has not yet been named, is seventh in line for the British throne and is Queen Elizabeth II’s eighth great-grandchild.

It is the first child for Harry and Meghan, who married a year ago. Harry spoke before cameras on Monday afternoon.

The duchess is a 37-year-old retired American actress formerly known as Meghan Markle. The 34-year-old prince is the son of Prince Charles – next in line for the throne – and Princess Diana, who died in a Paris car crash in 1997.

Harry has long spoken of his desire to start a family.
