The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were seen with their newborn son for the first time today, following his arrival early Monday morning. 

New parents Harry, 34, and Meghan, 37, beamed with pride as they took part in a photo call within St George’s Hall in Windsor, near their home at Frogmore Cottage.

Within minutes of the photos being shared, royal supporters from around the world shared their delight on Twitter and Instagram, with many admitting they were moved to tears by the first sight of the newborn.
