Like most new fathers, Prince Harry couldn't wipe the smile off his face as he announced the birth of his and Meghan's son today.
Grinning from ear-to-ear, the royal gushed about his 'amazing' wife, and the baby boy who has stolen his heart.
"I'm very excited to announce that Meghan and myself had a baby boy this morning, a very healthy baby boy," he said.
“It’s been the most amazing experience I could ever imagine. How any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension.”

"It was amazing, absolutely incredible. As I say, I am so incredibly proud of my wife and, as every father and parent would ever say your baby is absolutely amazing, this little baby is absolutely to die for."
And body language expert Judi James says his speech once again bucked tradition, and signals his profound respect for his wife...
"So all new dads look proud but Harry breaks with the royal tradition of playing it slightly cool and silent here by announcing the birth of his first child using body language that openly displays his pride, joy and excitement.

"When he refers to his baby boy his entire body jumps forward with spontaneous anticipation and when he talks about the ‘amazing experience’ he throws his hands out and a loud giggle emerges from his mouth.
"His pride and admiration for his wife is signaled by the way he touches his forehead and shakes his head, but then he’s back to a rapid blink rate to illustrate the adrenalin rush of his experience plus a barely-suppressed smile that involves rounded, raised cheeks and a display of upper and lower teeth.
"To put it simply, he looks as though he’s about to burst with pride here and I love that way that he even drops any attempt at being the cool alpha dad and even thanks the horses as he turns to go!
"He’s so happy he loves everyone!"
