Prince Harry, Meghan introduce new baby boy

The moment millions of people around the world have waited months for, the first glimpse of Britain's newest royal, finally came on Wednesday.

Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, introduced their son to the media in a tightly-controlled photo opportunity at Windsor Castle, but declined to quash several days of feverish speculation on the royal baby's name.

Meghan, who appeared happy and healthy, said her son has "been a dream" and has the "sweetest temperament, he's really calm." The new-born slept right through his first media encounter, according to the agencies.

"It's magic, it's pretty amazing, and I have the two best guys in the world, so I'm really happy," she said during her son's first brief encounter with a television camera.

"His looks are changing every single day," Harry noted. "Parenting is amazing. 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, and to be able to spend some special time with him as he slowly starts to grow up."

"He's already got a little bit of facial hair as well," the bearded prince joked.

Harry and Meghan thanked the public for their well-wishes before they left the camera position, Harry cradling their son in his arms and Meghan resting her arm around his shoulders.

Queen Elizabeth II was expected to meet her new great-grandson -- her eighth great-grandchild and now the 7th in line to the British throne -- and his parents later on Wednesday.
