‘The Duchess and baby are both healthy and well, and the couple thank members of the public for their shared excitement and support during this very special time in their lives. More details will be shared in the forthcoming days.’

But it wasn’t the arrival that the public found the most touching, but instead the sweet nod to Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana.
