The Royal Family Reacts to Its Newest Member
The third royal baby is here - praise be! The world doesn't know much about the lil prince yet, but it is still thrilled about his arrival. Especially pleased are the royal family themselves, many of whom have issued lovely statements since Kate Middleton gave birth approximately two minutes ago.
Official word from Buckingham Palace was short and sweet: both the Queen and Prince Philip are "delighted at the news," the Guardian reports. Prince William's statement came next. He simply said "We could not be happier."
Prince Philip issued a separate statement a short while later. His reads:
Both my wife and I are overjoyed at the arrival of my first grandchild. It is an incredibly special moment for William and Catherine and we are so thrilled for them on the birth of their baby boy," he wrote. "Grandparenthood is a unique moment in anyone’s life, as countless kind people have told me in recent months, so I am enormously proud and happy to be a grandfather for the first time and we are eagerly looking forward to seeing the baby in the near future.
InStyle notes this is a similar statement to the one given when Charlotte was born more than two years ago.
Per another tweet from Kensington Palace, Princes Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall, and Prince Harry (...and presumably Meghan Markle) are "delighted" as well.
On that note, it's been about 18 hours, Kate, LET'S SEE THAT BB BOY (just kidding, take your time, you are perfect and so is he and I love you).
