A real baby who has arrived surrounded by riddles

A radiant Prince Henry announced yesterday that he and his wife Meghan had a healthy child. Henry said that he was "Incredibly proud" of his wife, the Duchess of Susbad. The baby He weighed 3.26 pounds. The infant, who is now seventh in succession to the British throne, still has no name.

The prince said that he was delighted with the birth of his first child and added that They will share more details in the coming days. Yesterday, he spoke in front of the television cameras.

The 37-year-old Duchess of Susbad was an actress known as Meghan Markle before joining the British Royal Family and Henry did not announce the baby's birthplace. However, it is known that they abandoned the London Hospital where the prince, his older brother William and his three children were born with his wife Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge.

Here are some key points about the child.

Can he be king?

The baby is seventh in the line of succession to the throne, so It is very unlikely that he will become a British monarch.

The current heir is the prince Carlos, the 70 year old son of Queen Elizabeth II. He is followed by his son Guillermo and the three little children.

Will he be a prince?

Depends on the queen's decisionAlthough Henry and Meghan may also have an opinion. A decree issued by King George V in 1917 limits the number of major royal titles so that the son of Henry and Meghan would be known as "Lord", instead of Prince.

But the queen has the power to intervene, as she did when William and Catherine started having children. He decreed that all his sons and daughters would be princes and princesses. I could do the same for the children of Henry and Meghan. But the Queen's opinion about it has not been made public. It is also possible that Henry and Meghan decide that they do not want this special designation for the baby, in order to give him a normal education.

How will he call?

Kingship members often take the time to name their babies. In announcing the birth of Prince Henry, he declared that the couple has not decided on a name yet.

Will it be American?

Meghan is American, but authorities said at the time of his engagement with Henry that he was considering eventually being nationalized British, a process that may take several years.

She and Henry could decide to apply for US citizenship for their baby, so that the child can have a dual nationality, British and American.

When will the photo be?

Henry complained of the intrusive coverage of the British press on royal issues and he and Meghan have eased expectations regarding the type of information that will be published on the baby.

The couple said that They would not ask their newborns immediately a few hours after their arrival, as did William and Catherine with their children. They said it will take several days before showing the baby to the world.
