      There's a new Royal bundle of joy.

      Today (May 6), Prince Harry, 34, announced that his 37-year-old wife Meghan has given birth to a healthy boy.

      The Royal Family announced in a news release that the Duchess of Sussex, with Prince Harry present, delivered a baby at 5:26 a.m. BST (9:26 a.m. PST).

      The infant is seven pounds, three ounces.

      "Mother and baby are doing incredibly well," Prince Harry said. "It's the most amazing experience I could have ever possibly imagined.

      "How any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension, but we're both absolutely thrilled."

      He also expressed gratitude for all the love and support directed their way.

      The Duchess’s mother, Doria Ragland, is with the royal couple at Frogmore Cottage. The newborn is Ragland's first grandchild and is the Queen's eighth great-grandchild. 

      Prince Harry said they still haven't decided on a name.

      London bookies have "Arthur" as the favourite, followed by "Philip".

      The child is seventh in line for the British throne.
