"The Duchess’s mother, Doria Ragland, who is overjoyed by the arrival of her first grandchild, is with Their Royal Highnesses at Frogmore Cottage."

Meanwhile, in his first interview after the birth of his son, Prince Harry has been quoted as saying, "It’s been the most amazing experience I can ever possibly imagine.”
