Proud Prince Harry proves he's hands on dad as he holds baby son in official photo - breaking tradition yet again

Prince Harry looked like the proudest dad in the world as he introduced the world to his baby boy.

Meghan Markle said she's got "the two best guys" as she posed with Harry and their son for the first official photos at Windsor Castle.

The couple have broken pretty much every rule in the book in terms of welcoming her baby, and they broke from tradition yet again with the photoshoot.

Normally, the new mum holds the baby in the first photos - with Princess Diana, the Duchess of Cambridge and other royal women doing so.

But in the first photo Harry is holding the little boy.

In the interview, Meghan says: "It's magic, it's pretty amazing. I have the two best guys in the world so I'm really happy."

"He has the sweetest temperament, he's really calm."

As they both laughed, Harry said: "I don't know who he gets that from."

Meghan added: "He's just been the dream so it's been a special couple of days."

Royal baby: Prince Harry cracks jokes about son as Meghan looks on laughing  

Meghan whore a white wrap dress for the photographs while Harry looked smart in a grey suit.

Baby Sussex, who still doesn't have a name, was wearing a soft wool white hat.

The couple welcomed their healthy baby boy  weighing 7lbs 3oz at dawn on Bank Holiday Monday.

They broke with tradition by opting not to pose for photos on the hospital steps after the birth, meaning fans had to wait a few days to see him.

The Queen and Prince Philip will meet the little boy later today.
