Prince Harry and wife Meghan Markle have introduced their baby boy to the world in a photo call at Windsor Castle.

The family of three's first public appearance comes two days after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed their son, who was born on Monday morning.

The doting dad, 34, carried their newborn in the official photos, with Baby Sussex --whose name they are yet to announce -- snuggly wrapped in a white blanket and beanie.

Prince Harry was dressed in a complementary style to his son, in a light grey suit with a white shirt underneath.

And new mum, Meghan, was dressed in a matching white outfit as well - a trench coat-style sleeveless dress by British designer Grace Wales Bonner and nude Manolo Blahnik heels.

"It's magic, it's pretty amazing. I have the two best guys in the world, so I'm really happy," the new mum beamed.

They also thanked everyone for the flurry of well-wishes, saying they are: "So incredibly grateful for the warm wishes and support they’ve received from everyone around the world, since welcoming their son two days ago."

The interview was the first time Meghan has been seen in almost six weeks.

The proud dad held an impromptu press conference in Windsor on Monday, telling reporters about the "amazing experience" of being by Meghan's side for the birth.

"How any woman does, what they do, is beyond comprehension," Harry said.

"As every father and parent will ever say your baby is absolutely amazing, but this little thing is absolutely to-die-for."

The Duke also said he and Meghan were yet to decide on a name at the time, adding that the baby's overdue arrival had given them plenty of time to mull over the decision.
