Це сталось! У Меган Маркл та принца Гаррі родився первісток (так, синочок!)

6 травня 2019 року герцоги Сассекські повідомили довгоочікувану для шанувальників британської королівської сім’ї новину: вони вперше стали батьками. Протягом вагітності Меган будь-яка інформацію про майбутнє малюка ретельно приховувалася, тому фанати з нетерпінням чекали офіційних новин.

І ось нарешті  рано-вранці на світ з’явився первісток принца Гаррі і Меган Маркл! Всупереч очікуванням букмекерів, у пари народився хлопчик. Прес-служба повідомляє, що мама і дитина в хорошому стані.

Just one week ago, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex asked that you kindly consider supporting various organisations around the world in lieu of sending gifts for the upcoming arrival of their first born. Not only did many of you lend your support, you took action. Their Royal Highnesses wanted you to know the impact of your support – the direct effect your donation, energy, and action made! YOU chose to be part of the collective good, and you have made a real difference. Whether a $5 donation, £1000 contribution, offering to volunteer, or spreading the word – you’ve played your part. And on behalf of The Duke and Duchess (and Baby Sussex), we thank you so much. YOUR IMPACT: @thelunchboxfund will now be able to provide a minimum of 100,000 additional hot nutritionally fortified meals to children in dire need across South Africa @littlevillagehq received donations from all over the world (from UAE to Hong Kong and the US), they’ve increased their monthly donors, had a surge in volunteer applications, and re-energized their hard working team of 200+ staff and volunteers @wellchild can now provide 300+ additional hours of specialist care by a Well Child Nurse for a child with serious health needs, allowing families to stay together at home vs in hospital @Baby2Baby have received over 5,000 products to disperse to children in need, including cribs, books, backpacks, diapers and have received monetary donations from around the globe – from Guadalajara to Italy. You made this happen. Thank you.

Про народження крихітки ми дізналися не відразу, адже Меган і Гаррі, як звичайні батьки, хотіли побути з синочком наодинці без підвищеної уваги преси і шанувальників.

А ось про ім’я дитини поки нічого не відомо. Серед чоловічих імен у букмекерів в фаворитах: Артур, Едвард і Джеймс. А ось передбачуваними іменами для дівчинки були Діана (в честь мами Гаррі), Грейс і Еліс.

The Duke of Sussex has proudly been patron of UK based organization Well Child since 2007. Over 100,000 children and young people are living with serious illness or exceptional health needs across the UK. Many spend months, even years in hospital vs at home because there is no support enabling them to leave. Well Child’s vision is for every child and young person living with serious health needs to have the best chance to thrive properly supported at home with their families. Both the Duke and Duchess attended the Well Child Awards in the winter of 2018, supporting the incredible families and children who benefit from the Well Child programs. For those who have inquired, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex ask that you consider supporting @wellchild and three other select charities in lieu of sending baby gifts for their upcoming arrival. Thank you for the support and kindness! Photos via: @wellchild #worldhealthday

Багато хто сподівався, що малюк з’явиться на Великдень, в цей раз свято збіглося з днем народження Єлизавети II.

Дитина стала сьомим в черзі на трон після принца Чарльза, принца Вільяма, принца Джорджа, принца Луї і свого батька принца Гаррі. Судячи з цього, можна зробити висновки про те, який титул носитиме хлопчик.

Син герцогів Сассекському не буде принцом, так як король Георг V в 1917 році видав указ, згідно з яким титул принца або принцеси можуть носити тільки діти королеви (або короля), діти сина чинного монарха і старший син старшого сина принца Уельського.

What an incredibly special surprise the grassroots led #globalsussexbabyshower was last Sunday! The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are immensely grateful for the outpouring of love and support in anticipation of the birth of their first child. In lieu of sending gifts, the couple have long planned to encourage members of the public to make donations to select charities for children and parents in need. If you already made a donation, the couple send you their greatest thanks. If you are thinking about it, they ask that you kindly consider the following organisations they’ve selected, which we will highlight here over the next few days: @thelunchboxfund @littlevillagehq @wellchild @baby2baby The Duke and Duchess remain appreciative for your warm wishes and kindness during this especially happy time in their lives! Thank you for sharing the love ❤️

Тобто теоретично молодші діти герцогів Кембриджських повинні були носити титул леді і лорда відповідно, але королева своїм указом дарувала їм титули принцеси і принца. Син герцога Сассекського, швидше за все, отримає титул графа Дамбартонського, а якби народилася дівчинка, вона була б леді Маунтбеттен-Віндзор.

Today marks the 70th anniversary of the modern Commonwealth – a family of 53 countries working together to promote democracy, protect human rights, regenerate the environment, and focus not on what makes us different – but rather what we have in ‘common.’ What unites us versus what divides us. Representing nearly one third of the world’s population, 60% of whom are under the age of 30, the Commonwealth also serves as a champion for youth empowerment, which is a key focus of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Her Majesty The Queen serves as patron of the @queens_commonwealth_trust, which Their Royal Highnesses proudly serve as President and Vice-President of. The Duke is also Commonwealth Youth Ambassador. Through The Duke and Duchess’ Commonwealth travels, they have worked with and supported young leaders on mobilizing youth engagement, and working towards a more unified future that spearheads progress, sustainability, optimism, and taking action. With that said, Mozambique, a member state of the Commonwealth, is currently enduring Cyclone Kenneth, the most destructive natural disaster the northern coast has ever experienced. On the heels of Cyclone Idai (where over 1000 people lost their lives) this cyclone will leave the people of Mozambique victim to catastrophic flooding, food insecurity, displacement, and obliteration of their homes and villages.

Гаррі у своєму першому інтерв’ю після народження синочка не стримував емоцій: “Це неймовірний досвід, який я коли-небудь міг собі уявити. Як жінки роблять це…  Це за межею мого розуміння.

Ми обидва неймовірно щасливі і вдячні всім, хто нас підтримував! Ми вже думаємо з приводу імені. Малюк народився пізніше терміну, так що у нас був час подумати про це, але все ж це наступний крок. З вами ми побачимося, думаю, в найближчі два дні, як і планувалося, всією сім’єю. Кожен зможе побачити нашого малюка”, – каже Гаррі в ролику.

У нас немає сумнівів, так це в тому, що з Меган і Гаррі вийдуть відмінні батьки. Вітаємо молоде подружжя з народження синочка! Раніше ми писали, що генетики прикинули, як будуть виглядати діти герцогів Сассекських.
