Luxembourg's royal family shared the first photos of its newest addition on Wednesday. The Grand-Ducal Court posted a sweet black and white image of baby Prince Charles laying in his mother Hereditary Grand Duchess Stephanie's arms, as his father, Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume of Luxembourg, proudly looks over his newborn son and wife.
In the second photo, the royal tot snoozes contently on a furry blanket, wearing a pale blue playsuit from Harrods and in the third snap, his cute outfit is revealed to have a teddy bear logo on it. A fourth picture captures him once again asleep in Stephanie's arms, as she holds her son's tiny hand.

On Sunday afternoon, Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume made a video statement about his new arrival, which was posted to the royal family's official website. The new father said: "Today is a wonderful day for my wife and for myself and probably the most incredible day we will have because to be able to greet a child that comes into one's life is the most magical thing… this experience that we are living today, we are able to share also with our country people and with Luxembourg as a country."

He went on: "We are delighted to do so in a time that has been a bit more difficult especially for families who have been separated for a few months, which in the next weeks are going to be able to see each other again. A birth is a message of hope, it is a blessing. This is what we are so happy to be able to share with Luxembourg, but also over the borders with all the different countries."
