First Ever Glimpse of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's newborn son

The baby boy was lovingly cradled by his adoring father and watched attentively by Meghan, who was herself pictured for the first time in six weeks since withdrawing from public life ahead of the birth.

The couple appeared to be beside themselves with joy, giggling and looking into each other's eyes as they spoke, while Harry could not resist sneaking a peek down at his son as he apparently slept. 

The baby boy comes behind his father Prince Harry in the line of succession.

He will supersede Andrew in the line of succession following a 2011 change in law that granted the same status to sons and daughters. 

But the child will not be given the title of prince and he will instead be known as the Earl of Dumbarton.
