Oh wonderful!

And of course Meghan should have a few days to relax and just enjoy her family, before going public. I don't think any new mother would want to go public few hours after the birth. She is probably very tired.

Welcome to the baby and congratulations to the family.

I respect if they decided not to, but I would still be sad not to experience this moment, seeing the family on tv.

Yes, in two days time, we’ll see the couple introduce their baby boy to the world before the cameras.

Not surprised. This was clear from the BP announcement in April.

Makes me think this is part of the reason they delayed the labor announcement from first thing in the morning.

Congratulation from the Archbishop of Canterbury.

It is very normal to labor at home for quite a while before contractions are coming fast enough to necessitate heading to the hospital, so the times we’ve been told could only be an indicator of how long the last phase of her L&D took.

Yes it is.

This couldnt have been planned better according to my daily shedule.

I have the day off from work today, for the birh and on wednesday, when they go public with baby sussex.

Very nice - thank you Harry and Meghan

Which is rather unnecessary if mother and child are back at Windsor (or never left judging from Harry's interview). The DM seems to have deleted the reference to Meghan being taken to a hospital so it might have been a home birth after all. It is all unclear right now.

Yes, that's true. I havent given birth myself, but seen many births on tv

I just assumed the announcement of when she was in labour was when her contractions begun, but it was most probably from the time she was in the hospital and/or in "active birth"

[Lumutqueen]

The press release from BP says that Doria Ragland is overjoyed and with their royal highnesses at Frogmore Cottage. To me that says Meghan never left Frogmore and had a home birth.

I can't believe that this charming boy is now a dad! But I am sure that he will be a great father.

Given that they have said they want to keep the plans around the birth private. I'm not sure why people are complaining. They've been very clear on this.

[Curryong]

Very interesting. A life in the public eye, perhaps in foreign countries according to the baby's astrology chart.

Your line on seen many births reminded me of the funny part in Harry's interview. The interviewer said he's been at other births, and Harry's like this is my first.

The announcement of labor was made late. But they don't announce things after a certain hour or before. And it seems like the entire thing was overnight. Babies don't tend to time their arrival with media announcement timeframes.

The Great Wait is OVER! Welcome to the world Earl of Dumbarton!!! Congrats to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. They must be so emotional right now.
