STORYLINE:
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge say they are thrilled with the arrival of the new royal baby and look forward to meeting him in the coming days.
Proud father the Duke of Sussex has been welcomed to the "sleep deprivation society that is parenting" by his older brother the Duke of Cambridge.

William celebrated the latest addition to the royal family with the quip, and also said he was "absolutely thrilled" about the birth of Harry and Meghan's first child.

Speaking outside the Cutty Sark in Greenwich, south-east London, ahead of an engagement on Tuesday afternoon, William was asked how he felt and replied: "Obviously thrilled, absolutely thrilled, and obviously looking forward to seeing them in the next few days when things have quietened down.

"I'm very pleased and glad to welcome my own brother into the sleep deprivation society that is parenting."

                Baby Sussex, who has yet to be named, arrived at 5.26am on Monday, weighing 7lb 3oz, and is thought to have been born at the couple's Frogmore Cottage home near Windsor Castle.

But there are some reports claiming the baby was delivered in a London hospital.

Asked if he had any pearls of wisdom for his younger brother, as a father of three, William laughed and said: "Plenty of advice, plenty of advice, but no, I wish him all the best and I hope the next few days they can settle down and enjoy having a newborn in their family and the joys that come with that."

The Duchess of Cambridge added: "It's such a special time, obviously with Louis and Charlotte just having had their birthdays it's such a great time of year to have a baby, spring is in the air."

Kate went on to reveal they have not had the chance to see Harry and Meghan's newborn yet and had no clues about his name.

She said: "As William said, we're looking forward to meeting him and finding out what his name's going to be so it's really exciting for both of them and we wish them all the best.

"These next few weeks are always a bit daunting the first time round so we wish them all the best."
