“Looking forward to seeing them in the next few days when things have quietened down,” he said. “I’m very pleased and glad to welcome my own brother into the sleep deprivation society that is parenting.”

Kate also noted the closeness between several of the royal children’s birthdays – Princess Charlotte on May 2, Prince Louis on April 23.

“It’s such a great time of the year to have a baby. And yes, spring’s in the air and everything so it’s pretty great,” she said. “As William said, I look forward to meeting him (the baby) and finding out what his name is going to be.

Will, 36, and Kate, 37, were dressed casually for their engagement, with Kate in a suitably nautical-themed outfit for the occasion: The stylish royal wore cropped sailor pants by L.K. Bennett, a striped Breton top and suede, square-heeled pumps. 

Kate and Wills’ reactions come one day after Prince Harry gave an interview following the news that Baby Sussex had been born.

He also revealed that the couple are yet to decide on a name for their newborn, who weighed in at 3.2kgs.

“It’s been the most amazing experience I could ever have possibly imagined.”
