Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, he laughed: 'It was a little irritating, because that kid really is stealing my thunder! This was my day! I was sharing it already with Orson Welles and Sigmund Freud!'

George admitted he is thrilled for the parents - whose star-studded Windsor Castle wedding he and Amal attended last May - and gushed that they are 'a lovely couple'.

He said: 'I'm very happy. They're a lovely couple, so it's very exciting.'

George admitted that he doesn't feel it's his place to give Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan any parenting tips and made a joke about his age.

He said: 'I don't give advice, I'm 58. 'At 58 you just go, "Ugggh". I just walk with a walker everywhere I go.'

Meanwhile, it's believed the 37-year-old former actress and the flame-haired prince will share the first photograph of their son on Wednesday as well as announce the name they have chosen for him.

The birth was officially announced in the forecourt of Buckingham Palace, in keeping with tradition.

The typewritten note - which was in a gold frame - simply stated: 'The Queen and the Royal Family are delighted at the news that Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex was safely delivered of a son at 05.26am today.

Happy days! George is speculated to become Prince Harry and Meghan's first born son's potential godfather after sharing the same birthday

Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well.' Shortly after the couple confirmed their son had been born via Instagram, Harry, 34, spoke with reporters and hailed the birth as an 'amazing experience.'

George is speculated to become Prince Harry and Meghan's first born son's potential godfather after sharing the same birthday.

His long-time friend and business partner Rande Gerber, who is married to supermodel Cindy Crawford, wished the Ocean's Eleven star a great day as he posted a fun snap of the pair.

Game Of Thrones: What Dracarys Means And Why Missandei Says It In Episode 4, Season 8 - GameSpot

We're nearing the end of Game of Thrones. Season 8 has just two episodes left, which means the show as a whole is two episodes away from officially begin done. This past Sunday night brought Episode 4, and after tensions ran high (both political and bedroom related), we're fast approaching the penultimate moment in the battle for the Iron Throne. After a fairly quiet period, Episode 4 had a tense conclusion, and one word may have defined what happens next as one last big battle looms. Spoiler warning: The events of Episode 4 are described below.

In the final moments of Episode 4, Missandei is precariously stood beside Cersei having been taken prisoner when Euron's fleet launches an ambush. Dany watches on as Tyrion attempts to negotiate for her life and Cersei's surrender. Unfortunately, his diplomacy fails and Cersei turns to Missandei and tells her to share any final words. Missandei looks to her queen below and declares "dracarys."

The word translates to "Dragonfire" in High Valyrian; it is the same word Dany uses to signal her dragons to fire upon her enemies. In this case, the word is a final utterance of allegiance and support to her queen, knowing full well it will be her last. It's not a far stretch to assume Missandei's last word may also be a call for Dany to destroy Cersei in the same way as she has the rest of her enemies.

The word also has some significance to the relationship between Missandei and Dany. The two first met when Missandei was still a slave who served as an interpreter to slave-trader Kraznys mo Nakloz of Astapor. Dany ultimately frees Missandei by ordering the enslaved Unsullied to turn on the slave-traders of Astapor. In the fray of the uprising, Dany turns to Kraznys and calmly says "dracarys." Upon hearing the instruction, her dragon Drogon breathes a ball of fire onto the slave-trader and reduces him to ashes. Missandei's choice of her final word is almost certainly a callback to this moment and Dany's impact on her life.

Or, you know, take it from the woman herself. After the episode aired, Nathalie Emmanuel, who portrays Missandei, tweeted, "Dracarys." She followed this up with her own personal translation, "Burn the bish."

Aka “Burn the bish” 😂🤣

This was not a good episode for the dragons or Dany, as Rhaegal can attest. (It was also one with a notable gaffe, as a coffee cup made it into a shot at Winterfell--HBO has now even acknowledged it and digitally removed it from the episode.)

No Home Birth for Meghan Markle -- Palace Confirms She Was Driven to the Hospital in Secret to Deliver Baby Sussex - The Cheat Sheet

Unless you live on a deserted island with zero access to wifi, then you’ve no doubt heard by now that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle welcomed a son on Monday, May 6. Prince Harry made an appearance outside Frogmore Cottage and excitedly updated reporters on the birth, his happiness, and the strength of all women, inspiring a chorus of “Awwwws!” from the audience. One thing he didn’t mention? The place where the birth took place.

Considering the new dad wouldn’t want to leave his wife’s side, the location of the announcement led royal fans to question if Meghan Markle did experience a home birth like she wanted. But Buckingham Palace just confirmed that in truth, the Duchess of Sussex snuck away to give birth in a hospital and even the top royal officials didn’t know about it.

Baby Sussex was probably overdue

Meghan Markle’s actual due date is still a mystery to most people, but since people believe she was expecting to give birth in late April or early May, they think the baby arrived late. If that’s true, there’s a possibility she was induced.

While many doctors will allow pregnant women to remain pregnant two weeks past their due dates, Meghan Markle’s age probably played a factor in how late she could be. It’s likely that she was closely monitored for the entire pregnancy. Any indication of distress for the baby would result in induction to preserve the health of the unborn child.

No one knew Meghan Markle was being taken to the hospital

Daily Mail correspondent Rebecca English explained that even senior royals weren’t made aware that Meghan Markle was heading to the hospital sometime Sunday evening. While we still don’t know which hospital baby boy Sussex was born in, royal insiders are betting it’s nearby Portland Hospital, which is also where Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie were delivered.

Prince Harry and Doria Ragland, Meghan Markle’s mom, went with her to the hospital. But other than those close family members, no one knew about the secret hospital visit until after the Duchess of Sussex was already there.

It came as no surprise that Prince Harry announced the baby’s birth solo since the couple already explained that they’d be skipping the iconic post-birth photo call on the hospital steps. Prince William and Kate Middleton take a different route, appearing for photos on the steps of the Lindo Wing mere hours after the birth for each of their children. Princess Diana did the same for both her sons.

But Prince Harry and Meghan Markle already explained that they weren’t planning to follow this tradition and would instead take time to “celebrate privately as a family” before releasing photos. Royal fans were nervous that they wouldn’t know about the birth at all, however that turned out to be inaccurate.

Now everyone is patiently awaiting the pictures of the newborn royal baby plus an announcement on the name. We can’t wait to see his precious little face!

Prince William, Kate Middleton share sweet message for Meghan Markle, Prince Harry's royal baby - Fox News

What royal feud? Prince William and Kate Middleton sent a sweet message to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle after the birth of their son on Monday.

Reposting the birth announcement from the @SussexRoyal Instagram account, Prince William and Duchess Kate wrote from their @KensingtonRoyal account, "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted with the news of the birth of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's son today, and look forward to meeting the latest addition to the family."

The kind words came after months of reported royal in-fighting among the couples.

PRINCE HARRY BEAMS WITH PRIDE AFTER WELCOMING SON WITH MEGHAN MARKLE

Insiders claimed that Prince William, 36, expressed concerns about how fast Prince Harry, 34, and now-Duchess Meghan, 37, moved in their relationship when they first began dating.

Prince Harry reportedly took the brotherly advice personally, leading to tension between the couples.

"William wanted to make sure that Harry was making the right decision,” royal expert Katie Nicholl previously told Fox News. “And I think what was intended as well-meaning, brotherly concern and a bit of advice went down quite badly with Harry, who felt that William wasn’t being as supportive as he might’ve been. So there has certainly been tensions between the brothers.”

WHEN WILL MEGHAN MARKLE AND PRINCE HARRY RELEASE A PHOTO OF THE ROYAL BABY?

Royal expert Nick Bullen told Fox News Monday that he believes the birth of Baby Sussex will help mend any royal rift that remains.

“William and Harry, we know the press reports and it is true, they’re not getting along at the moment,” explained Bullen. “But I believe that will resort itself. The move from Kensington Palace to Windsor puts a little distance between the two households. And that will begin to repair the story. And from what I’m being told, Kate Middleton and Meghan actually get on OK. It isn’t about a battle between duchesses. It is much more about the boys. I think hopefully these two mothers will be able to bond more over their children. And I think babies are often a great way to bring families close together.”

Meghan Markle will quickly return to work after giving birth, is 'enjoying' media attention, says royal expert - Fox News

Meghan Markle will likely head back to work sooner than we think after giving birth to her first child.

The former American actress and Britain’s Prince Harry welcomed a baby boy early Monday morning. A rep from Buckingham Palace said it is up to the couple when will the public learn of the newborn’s name or see his first photo.

WHO WILL BE GODPARENTS TO MEGHAN MARKLE'S ROYAL BABY?

"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. 3oz.," the couple announced via Instagram.

"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. More details will be shared in the forthcoming days," the statement said.

But one other birthday Markle won’t miss is that of Queen Elizabeth II. The reigning monarch, 93, celebrates two birthdays each year — her actual birthday on April 21 and her official birthday, which is usually observed the second Saturday in June.

While Elizabeth usually spends her actual birthday privately, she is joined by other members of the royal family on her official birthday for the high-profiled Trooping the Colour parade, as well as a public appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.

WHAT WILL MEGHAN MARKLE, PRINCE HARRY NAME THEIR SON?

“She will be back in time for Queen Elizabeth’s birthday, which is only weeks away,” royal filmmaker Nick Bullen told Fox News. “It was also announced she is going to be taking a very short maternity leave because she wants to get back to her charity work as quickly as possible. She’s aware of the media attention she possesses and she’s not afraid to use it.”

Bullen is an executive producer who has been making programs about the British royal family for nearly 20 years and has worked closely with Harry and William’s father, Prince Charles, for eight. Bullen has recently released two new films on True Royalty TV titled "Meghan Markle: Inside the Wardrobe of a Princess" and "Meghan Markle: Inside the Home of a Princess," documenting how the former "Suits" star has made her mark since officially becoming a member of the British royal family.

Bullen said that unlike her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana of Wales, Markle isn’t overwhelmed by the growing media spectacle surrounding her life. In fact, she’s embracing it as part of her new role.

“My understanding from people who know her well and work with her, she’s handling it very well,” Bullen shared. “She knew what she was marrying into. This is not a girl who was unaware of the power of the press. I think unlike a 19-year-old Lady Diana Spencer from all those years ago, who was overwhelmed with the attention, Meghan knew what she was getting into. I think it was possibly bigger than what she realized, but my understanding from people who knew her years ago and people who are working with her now, she’s handling it very well. In fact, she’s enjoying it. This is what she thrives on.”

MEGHAN MARKLE WELCOMES FIRST CHILD: IT'S A BOY!

Bullen said Markle has become so welcoming of the press because it allows her to promote her charities on a global scale. Since becoming an official member of the British royal family, the former “Suits” star has become a patron of four royal organizations, with of her roles taking over from Elizabeth.

In January of this year, Kensington Palace announced Markle will serve as the patron for the National Theatre, as well as the Association of Commonwealth Universities, the Mayhew (animal welfare) and Smart Works, which empowers women and helps them find work.

“I’m told she and Harry have got some big key messages that they want to get out there,” said Bullen. “And the only way to get them out there is using the world’s press to their attention. As much as Harry is pretty anti-press, I think Meghan is enjoying it and ready to harness it. She wants to use it to promote brand Sussex.”

Bullen shared that the one challenge Markle may face is for her husband to embrace the media as much as she has.

“Harry’s real beef is with the British press,” he explained. “He felt they treated his mother badly. He also believes the British press treated him badly while he was growing up as a teenager in the public eye. I think Harry will not particularly want to work with the British press, but he will work with the foreign press and in particular, the American press. It’s no surprise that his next big TV project is with Oprah Winfrey and Apple. I think you will see him more on the global stage, not so much the domestic stage.”

“I think Harry has to become more welcoming of the press,” Bullen continued. “Because you know what? It ain’t going away. He needs to work with it. I think Meghan will hopefully encourage him in that direction… I think they will start working much more with the international press. They will definitely use social media in a much bigger way.”

Still, Bullen pointed out Markle and Harry will use the power they have over the press on their own terms. The couple recently left Kensington Palace for Frogmore Cottage on Elizabeth’s estate. The move will separate the duo from Harry’s older brother Prince William and his wife, Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton. And the move, he insisted, is not a surprising one.

“Harry and Meghan will want to use their home as a really private sanctuary,” he explained. “Meghan’s mind frame is, ‘Let’s get out. Let’s do what we can for Sussex, for Britain and for the causes that we believe in. But when we go home, we are absolutely private.’ That’s why Frogmore, their new home, is perfect for them…. Nobody can get near it. It is surrounded by a big wall. Kensington Palace is pretty open and accessible to people. But Frogmore is private. And I think that’s what Meghan loves. She loves the idea of retreating and hiding away from the world when she can.”

WILL ROYAL BABY END FEUD?

Harry and Markle's royal bundle of joy, born at 5:26 a.m., is seventh in line for the British throne and is Queen Elizabeth II's eighth great-grandchild. Harry is the younger son of Prince Charles, the next in line to the throne.

A beaming Harry told reporters at Windsor Castle on Monday that both mom and baby are doing well.

"I'm very excited to announce that Meghan and myself had a baby boy early this morning, a very healthy boy," the new dad shared. "Mother and baby are doing incredibly well. It's been the most amazing experience I could ever possibly imagine. How any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension but we're both absolutely thrilled and so grateful to all the lovely support."
