LONDON (Newsradio 1020 KDKA/ AP) - A beaming Prince Harry says he's 'just over the moon' after birth of his first child.

Prince Harry announced Monday that Meghan has given birth to a baby boy.

They are still thinking of names for their newborn boy.

The couple decided not to find out about the sex of the child before the birth.

The child will be eligible for dual British-U.S. citizenship if Meghan and Harry want to go through the application process.

The new prince is seventh in line for the British throne and is Queen Elizabeth II's eighth great-grandchild.

It is the first child for Harry and Meghan, who married a year ago. Harry spoke before cameras on Monday afternoon.

The duchess is a 37-year-old retired American actress formerly known as Meghan Markle. The 34-year-old prince is the son of Prince Charles — next in line for the throne — and Princess Diana, who died in a Paris car crash in 1997.

Harry has long spoken of his desire to start a family.
