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. Naturally, the Duke and Duchess are thrilled—and so is the rest of the world. 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:

Some Twitter users can't get over the fact that the baby's birth happened on the same day as tonight's Met Gala in NYC (opens in new tab).
