Royal baby has arrived, and it's a boy! Meghan's child is 17th in line to British throne

Meghan Markel, Britain's Duchess of Sussex and wife of Prince Harry, has given birth the royal baby and it's a baby boy, Buckingham Palace said in a statement. "Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex was safely delivered of a son at 0526hrs," the palace said "The baby weighs 7lbs 3oz. The Duke of Sussex was present for the birth."

The child is seventh in line to the British throne, though the birth is set to grab headlines across the globe. There has long been a fascination with the British royal family, particularly in the United States, and William, Kate, Harry and Meghan are regularly greeted by large crowds and feted like film stars.
