The Duchess of Sussex has given birth to a baby boy with her husband by her side after going into labour this morning.
Speaking from Windsor, the Duke of Sussex said it was an "absolutely incredible" experience and he is "so proud of his wife".
Buckingham Palace said the baby was delivered at 5.26am and weighs 7lbs 3oz. The couple have not yet chosen a name for their son.
The beaming Prince confirmed the baby was healthy, adding: "It was amazing. Absolutely incredible. I'm so proud of my wife. It's been the most amazing experience I could ever have possibly imagined. How any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension. But we're both absolutely thrilled. We're both absolutely thrilled and so grateful for all the love and support from everybody out there, it's been amazing, so we just wanted to share this with everybody."
The name of the baby, which is seventh in line to the throne, will be announced at a later date.
The couple have maintained an element of secrecy around the arrangements for the birth, saying they will share news of their baby’s arrival “once they have had an opportunity to celebrate privately as a new family”.
Members of the international press have been assembled in Windsor for several weeks awaiting news that the baby is on its way, with American television networks updating their viewers daily.
They will now be joined by excited members of the public and the British media, in the last few hours before the seventh-in-line to the throne is welcomed into the world.
The baby is understood to be around a week overdue, with the Duchess, who is 37, said to be “comfortable and content” as she waited in her new home at Frogmore Cottage with her husband and mother Doria Ragland by her side.
