Watch Prince Harry gush about his newborn son with Meghan Markle

Meghan Markle and her presumably adorable newborn baby are still resting behind closed doors, but this priceless minute with Prince Harry might just make up for it.

Markle gave birth to a baby boy weighing 7 pounds, 3 ounces early Monday morning, the Sussex royals announced via an Instagram post. It's her first child with Harry, and just like the media has been since the couple announced Markle's pregnancy last October, it's clear the Duke of Sussex is already obsessed.

In an interview following the birth announcement, Harry praised his wife and the "amazing experience" they just shared, saying "how any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension." The duo hasn't decided on any names yet, but Harry said they'll likely be ready to share the newborn with the world "as a family" in two days.

The news came less than an hour after Buckingham palace confirmed Markle went into labor in the early hours of Monday morning. The Sussex royals recently said Markle would not make an appearance with the baby outside St. Mary's Hospital — one of the many royal traditions the couple has shunted. The baby is seventh in line for the throne, but it's uncertain if the queen will give him a royal title.
