The birth was officially announced in the forecourt of Buckingham Palace, in keeping with tradition.
The typewritten note - which was in a gold frame - simply stated: ''The Queen and the Royal Family are delighted at the news that Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex was safely delivered of a son at 05.26am today. Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well.''
Shortly after, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared an Instagram post titled ''It's a boy'', which was captioned: ''We are pleased to announce that Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed their firstborn child in the early morning on May 6th, 2019.

''More details will be shared in the forthcoming days.''
Harry hailed the birth of his son as the ''most amazing experience''.
He told reporters: ''I'm very excited to announce that Meghan and myself had a baby boy earlier this morning, a very healthy boy. Mother and baby are doing incredibly well. 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 and so grateful for all the love and support from everybody out there. It's been amazing, so I just wanted to share this with everybody...
''I haven't been at many births, this is definitely my first birth but it was amazing, absolutely incredible.
''I'm so incredibly proud of my wife and 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.''
He also confirmed he and his wife were still deciding on a name for their son, and will announce the tot's moniker in the coming days.
He added: ''The baby's a little bit overdue so we've had a little bit of time to think about it, that's the next bit. For us we'll be seeing you guys in probably two days time as planned.''

He said tha...
