Meghan Markle And Prince Harry Welcome Baby Boy Into The World
England's Royal Family has been capturing the world's attention for decades, and things certainly haven't slowed down recently. The past few years have brought plenty of news in the form of Royal Weddings, with pregnancies and royal babies arriving shortly thereafter. Following Kate Middleton's two princes and one princess, all eyes focused on American actress-turned-royal Meghan Markle.
Meghan Markle's courtship and royal wedding to Prince Harry was been closely followed by the general public, as was Markle's pregnancy. While the news had been largely kept under wraps, Prince Harry just announced that the couple has welcomed a baby boy into their world.
This exciting news comes from Prince Harry himself, who made a statement to the press shortly after he and Meghan Markle became parents for the first time. With a smile on his face, Harry opened up about the exciting turn of events, saying:
And just like that, the world has a new royal baby to obsess over and possibly turn into a meme. Just look at Prince George and Princess Charlotte, who have both become the subject of endless memes.
Prince Harry addressed the press outside of the royal couple’s residence near Windsor Castle. While he didn't reveal the new bundle of joy's name, the baby's birth and sex are reason enough to get the public excited. Meghan Markle's ascension from American actress to royal by marriage has been closely followed by folks on both side of the pond, as has her very public pregnancy.
It should be fascinating to see what name Harry and Meghan decide on for their new baby boy. There's usually a great deal of anticipation among the reveal of royal baby names, and that certainly applies in this situation. Will the couple pick a classic name from the Royal Family's history. With Netflix's The Crown doing a deep dive of the family's history, namesakes won't go unnoticed.
