After much anticipation, Meghan Markle has given birth to a baby boy (opens in new tab), born at 5.26 a.m. U.K. time and weighing seven pounds and three ounces.

Prince Harry surprised everyone by giving a sweet interview with the media (opens in new tab) saying how happy he is and how it's "been the most amazing experience I could ever imagine." Watch below:
