Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, gave birth to Archie, a healthy baby boy weighing 7 pounds, 3 ounces on May 6, according to Buckingham Palace.

Here is everything we know so far about Harry and Meghan’s royal newborn son.
When the baby was born
Duchess Meghan gave birth on Monday, May 6, at 5:26 a.m. local time, according to Buckingham Palace.
What the baby is named
Harry and Meghan took to Instagram to reveal the name of their son: Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.
They revealed Archie’s name alongside a photo of the couple introducing their newborn to his great-grandparents, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. Also in the photo is Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland.
The baby will not carry a courtesy title “at this time,” according to Buckingham Palace.
Archie’s surname of Mountbatten-Windsor is a combination of Queen Elizabeth’s surname of Windsor and Prince Philip’s adopted surname of Mountbatten.
A copy of the birth certificate for Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, was shared with the public on May 17. Portland Hospital in Westminster was listed as Archie’ place of birth. Some royal watchers on social media noted that Meghan’s occupation was listed as “Princess of the United Kingdom.”
The Duchess of Sussex gave birth at the Portland Hospital, a private hospital in London.
The palace said in a statement that Meghan went into labor “in the early hours of this morning” with Prince Harry by her side.
Buckingham Palace alerted members of the media that Duchess Meghan was in labor and then that she had given birth.
When the baby made his public debut
Baby Sussex was introduced to the world on Wednesday at Windsor Castle in a photo call with his parents, Harry and Meghan. ” Harry said. “It’s only been, what, two-and-a-half days, three days? But we’re just so thrilled to have our own little bundle of joy here to spend some precious times with him as he slowly starts to grow up.”
The royal baby wore a cashmere hat by G.H. Hurt & Son and was bundled in an ivory white Leaves and Flowers Baby Shawl by the same brand. Meghan wore a sleeveless trench dress by Grace Wales Bonner.
The interview with the family of three took place inside St. George’s Hall at Windsor Castle, the same place Harry and Meghan held their wedding reception after their May 19 wedding.
“This is the shattering of a tradition that goes back for decades,” one journalist told The New York Times last month. “There is a price to be paid for that, and that price is mockery.”
On Wednesday, Meghan said they had a “special couple days” as a family of three.
“He’s just been the dream, so it’s been a special couple days,” she said, later thanking the public for “all the well wishes and the kindness.”
How the baby made history
Prince Harry and Meghan’s son is the first American British biracial royal born in the United Kingdom.
