Harry 'Over The Moon' As Meghan Gives Birth To Baby Boy

Kensington Palace said in a statement that Meghan went into labor early Monday morning. Harry was by Meghan's side, the statement said.

The boy was born at 5:26 a.m. weighing 7 pounds, 3 ounces, the palace said. "It's been the most amazing experience I could ever have possibly imagined," Harry later told reporters. "How any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension, but we're both absolutely thrilled and so grateful to all the love and support from everybody out there. It's been amazing."

Harry said the couple was still thinking about names. "That's the next bit," he said.

Harry joked with reporters that he hadn't "been at many births" and that his son's was "definitely my first birth." On a more serious note, Harry said he was "so incredibly proud" of Meghan.

"As every father and parent would ever say, you know, your baby is absolutely amazing, but this little thing is absolutely to die for, so I'm just over the moon," Harry said.
