Royal baby: Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan have not decided on a name

Welcome to the world, Baby Sussex!

Britain's newest royal arrived in the early hours of May 6, weighing 7 pounds, 3 ounces, and just a few weeks before his parents' first wedding anniversary.

With his wife recovering at home at Frogmore Cottage with the baby, Prince Harry took to the media himself to announce the arrival of his firstborn.

"I haven't been at many births. This is definitely my first birth. It was amazing, absolutely incredible, and, as I said, I'm so incredibly proud of my wife," Prince Harry explained on Monday.

He continued, "As every father and parent will 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." The prince also explained that the couple is still deciding on a name for their bundle of joy.

"The baby’s a little bit overdue so we’ve had a little bit of time to think about it, that’s the next bit. For us we’ll be seeing you guys in probably two days time as planned," Harry added.

The royal family waited two days after the birth of Prince George and Charlotte to reveal his and her names, and four days after Prince Louis' birth to reveal his. And whereas the Sussexes have taken a less traditional approach to their baby, bookies expect the couple to follow royal tradition when naming their first child.

According to reports, Arthur, James and Alexander are bookies' top choices for the newborn.
