Prince Harry is planning to step out in public for the first time since the birth of his baby son in two days’ time.
Speaking to reporters about his next steps in fatherhood, he explained his intention to make an appearance with wife Meghan and their firstborn on Wednesday.
“We’ll be seeing you guys in probably two days time as planned, as a family, so everyone can see the baby,” he beamed.
It was reported that the royal couple wanted to spend a couple of days en famille adapting to their new status before introducing their bundle of joy to the world.
A statement from Buckingham Palace explained: “Their Royal Highnesses have taken a personal decision to keep the plans around the arrival of their baby private.
“The Duke and Duchess look forward to sharing the exciting news with everyone once they have had an opportunity to celebrate privately as a new family.”
Harry was due to be in Amsterdam on Wednesday and The Hague on Thursday as part of a two-day royal tour; both events were postponed at the end of last week.
Now it looks as though he will be taking part in a very special personal public engagement on one of those days!
Earlier this afternoon, Harry spoke of his joy at becoming a dad, hailing the birth of his son as the “most amazing experience”.
He told reporters at Windsor: “I’m very excited to announce that Meghan and myself had a baby boy earlier this morning, a very healthy boy.
“Mother and baby are doing incredibly well. It’s been the most amazing experience I could ever have possibly imagined.
“How any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension, but we’re both absolutely thrilled and so grateful for all the love and support from everybody out there.
“It’s been amazing, so I just wanted to share this with everybody…
“I haven’t been at many births, this is definitely my first birth but it was amazing, absolutely incredible.
“I’m so incredibly proud of my wife and as every father and parent would ever say, your baby is absolutely amazing, but this little thing is absolutely to die for so I’m just over the moon.”
