Summary

The wait is finally over for expectant parents Meghan Markle and Prince Harry - and for the world. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed their baby son at 5.26am on May 6, just as the sun was rising. Harry excitedly shared the news a few hours later in an unexpected press call which did not go entirely to plan behind the scenes.Two days later, with Meghan alongside him, new dad Harry carried his baby out to introduce him to the world. Pod Save The Queen host Ann Gripper catches up with Daily Mirror Royal Editor Russell Myers about how events unfolded, while Richard Innes, co-host of the First Time Dads podcast, and style director Amber Graafland share their thoughts on the Sussexes' first days as parents. And with the news of the baby's name breaking late - and Meghan and Harry choosing not to give their son the courtesy title Earl or Dumbarton - Zoe Forsey provides an added update.
