Introducing Baby Sussex!

As Prince Harry promised, two days after Meghan Markle gave birth to their son, the Sussex family has made their first public appearance together.

The new parents are glowing as they introduce their son to the world. Markle is wearing a white, sleeveless dress, as she stands beside her husband who is cradling the newborn in his arms. “It’s magic. I have the two best guys in the world so I’m really happy,” Markle gushes. “He has the sweetest temperament. He’s just been the dream, so it’s been a special couple of days.”

Prince Harry also chimes in with similar sentiments. “It’s great. Parenting is amazing," he says. “It’s only been two and a half days, but we’re just so thrilled to have our own little bundle of joy.”

Prior to the birth of their son, the couple decided to skip the royal tradition of debuting their baby on the steps of the Lindo Wing at St. Mary’s Hospital in London, which both Princess Diana and Kate Middleton had done shortly after welcoming their babies to the world.

The jury is still out on what the pair will name their child. While Arthur is suspected to be top a contender, there are a few other names bookies are betting on. As of Monday, Prince Harry claims the pair is still deciding. “The baby is a little bit overdue, so we’ve had a little bit of time to think about it,” he said in his first public appearance as a father.
