The world held its breath, eagerly awaiting the first glimpse of the newest member of the British royal family. After two days of anticipation, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, emerged from Windsor Castle, cradling their newborn son.
Unlike previous royal baby reveals, traditionally staged outside the hospital steps amidst cheering crowds and a frenzy of camera flashes, this introduction was noticeably different. Opting for a more private and intimate setting, Harry and Meghan chose the serene backdrop of Windsor Castle, a reflection of their modern approach to royal life.
