Prince Harry pays tribute
Prince Harry was quick to pay tribute to his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, when he announced news of his son’s birth at a press conference.
“It’s been the most amazing experience I could ever possibly imagine. How any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension,” he said, as per BBC.
The prince was also asked a question regarding what he and Meghan might name their son, answering: “Still thinking about names. The baby’s a little bit overdue, so we’ve had a little bit of time to think about it, but, yeah, that’s the next bit. But for us, I think, we’ll be seeing you guys in probably two days time, as planned, as a family, to be able to share it with you guys, so everyone can see the baby.”
“I’m so incredibly proud of my wife,” Harry continued.
“As every father and parent would ever say ‘your baby is absolutely amazing’, but this little thing is absolutely to die for, so I’m just over the moon.”
