Royal baby: Meghan Markle gives birth to son
Meghan Markle is a new mom!
The 37-year-old duchess of Sussex welcomed her first child, a baby boy, with husband Prince Harry on Monday, according to a post on the couple's official Instagram account.
"We are pleased to announce that Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed their firstborn child in the early morning on May 6th, 2019. Their Royal Highnesses' son weighs 7lbs. 3 oz," the palace said.
"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," the palace added. "More details will be shared in the forthcoming days."
Buckingham Palace had confirmed Monday Markle went into labor with Harry by her side. The new baby is Queen Elizabeth II's eighth great-grandchild and seventh in line to the throne.
Markle and Harry married in May 2018 and announced Markle's pregnancy in October.
"Their Royal Highnesses have appreciated all of the support they have received from people around the world since their wedding in May and are delighted to be able to share this happy news with the public," the royal family said on Twitter at the time.
Following the news, Markle and Harry confirmed plans in March to establish a separate court from Harry's brother, Prince William, and his wife, Kate Middleton. Markle and Harry moved from Kensington Palace to Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor grounds.
"This long-planned move will ensure that permanent support arrangements for The Duke and Duchess's work are in place as they start their family," the palace said.
Markle and Harry said in April they planned to keep the royal birth private. The couple applauded fans for their generosity the same month after asking for charitable donations instead of baby gifts.
"Not only did many of you lend your support, you took action," the palace said. "YOU chose to be part of the collective good, and you have made a real difference."
'Spider-Man: Far From Home': Tom Holland meets Jake Gyllenhaal in new trailer (WARNING - AVENGERS: ENDGAME SPOILER!!!)
 Tom Holland's Peter Parker is having a hard time juggling his personal life with this superhero one in the latest trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Home.
The clip, released on Monday, features Peter grappling with the death of his mentor, Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), following the events of Avengers: Endgame.
The young hero, who is feeling pressure to fill in the gap left behind by Iron Man, goes on a school trip to Europe with his friends Ned (Jacob Batalon) and MJ (Zendaya). Peter is then quickly recruited by Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) for a new mission that involves taking down a group of elemental creatures.
Peter meets Quentin Beck, also known as Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal) on the mission, a man from an alternate universe earth who has superpowers of his own.
Mysterio begins to give Peter advice on being a superhero after the high schooler explains how he wants a break from saving the world and wants to tell MJ how he feels about her.
"You may not be ready, but this is my responsibility. Saving the world requires sacrifice. Sometimes people die," Mysterio says.
Spider-Man: Far From Home, from director Jon Watts, is set to arrive in theaters on July 5. Cobie Smulders stars as Nick Fury's partner Maria Hill, Marisa Tomei stars as Aunt May and Jon Favreau stars as Iron Man's friend and bodyguard Happy Hogan.
LOOSE LIPS:
 "I smoke weed, but I don't consider that a danger to my health. I don't like edibles. Too slow and you don't know where it's going. You could end up having to go to bed for three days. I don't do anything wildly dangerous anymore. I wasn't ever attracted to the acid. I like to have a good time, but I don't want to lose my mind."
