On Wednesday morning, the world was formally introduced to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's new arrival. This sweet photograph was taken at St George's Hall, Windsor Castle and is definitely one for the royal baby album. Their interview, the first as a family-of-three, came just two days after they welcomed their son into the world. "It's magic, it's pretty amazing," shared Meghan, adding: "I have the two best guys in the world so I'm really happy." Speaking about his first couple of days as a father, Harry explained: "It's great. Parenting is amazing. It's only been two and a half days, three days, but we're just so thrilled to have our own little bundle of joy and be able to spend some precious times with him as he slowly, slowly starts to grow up." Following Harry and Meghan's first interview with their royal baby, HELLO! have decided that now is the perfect time to gather some of the sweetest formal pictures of other royal tots. From the Queen's christening to Prince William's baptism, here are some of our favourite snaps…
