Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex has given birth to a baby boy on bank holiday Monday, 6 May 2019. A beaming Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex announced this 'absolutely thrilling' news to the public and added that they were still thinking about names for the infant. Buckingham Palace said the baby weighed 7lbs 3oz (3.2kg), and that the duke was present for the birth.
The baby boy is seventh in line to the throne, behind the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge and his children - Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis - and Prince Harry. He is the Queen's eighth great-grandchild. As we went to press, the Queen was still due to visit Baby Sussex and the 'thrilled' new parents.
While the baby is automatically a British citizen, according to Daily Mail, assuming Meghan did not voluntarily give up her own US citizenship when she married Harry (which she was not required to do by law), the baby could also be granted American citizenship. The implication of being naturally-born citizen of the US means Baby Sussex could one day run for office as US President!
