When will we see Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s royal baby for the first time?
ROYAL watchers across the globe were thrilled when it was announced that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had become parents when their son was born on May 6.
But we still don’t know the newborn’s name, or when it will be announced. Here’s what we know so far, including when we’ll get our first look at Baby Sussex.
When will we see the royal baby for the first time?
A delighted Prince Harry announced his son’s birth outside Frogmore Cottage just hours after the little one came into the world on May 6.
The royal, 34, told camera crews that he would be back again in two days time to show off the newborn.
He said: “We’ll be seeing you guys in two days’ time as planned, so everyone can see the baby.”
But it’s not clear if this will be in picture form posted to the couple’s Instagram or if Baby Sussex will make an appearance live in front of cameras.
Either way, we should get our first look at the newest royal on May 8.
When will we find out the royal baby’s name?
During his announcement Harry admitted that the couple hadn’t picked a name.
He explained that because the baby was overdue he and Meghan had more time to think about it.
Harry said: “We’re still thinking about names.
“The baby’s a little bit overdue, so we’ve had a bit of time to think about it, but that’s the next bit.”
If the couple have made the decision it’s likely that we’ll find out the baby’s name tomorrow, May 8.
How will the name be announced?
Kensington Palace announced the name of Prince Louis in a press release.
They put out a tweet saying: “The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to announce that they have named their son Louis Arthur Charles.
“The baby will be known as His Royal Highness Prince Louis of Cambridge.”
It is expected that Harry and Meghan’s baby’s name will be announced in the same way.
When did Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have their first baby?
Meghan gave birth on May 6 at 5.26am.
Prince Harry told royal well-wishers outside of Windsor the good news.
The Duke of Sussex said: “I’m very excited to announce that Meghan and myself had a baby boy this morning, a very healthy baby boy.”
“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.”
