Prince William and Kate Middleton are officially welcoming Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to the parenting club, a day after the birth of their new royal nephew. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge spoke out about Baby Sussex on Tuesday while launching the King's Cup Regatta in Greenwich.

Prince William said he's "absolutely thrilled" for his younger brother, and he even joked about the lack of sleep.

Will said, "I'm very pleased and glad to welcome my own brother into the sleep deprivation society that is parenting." He also confirmed that they haven't met Harry and Meghan's baby yet, and said that they're "looking forward to seeing them in the next few days when things have quietened down."

Kate revealed that not even they know the name yet! She said, "As William said, we look forward to meeting him and finding out what his name is going to be. So it's really exciting for both of them and we wish them all the best. These next few weeks are always a bit daunting the first time around so we wish them all the best."

She added that it's a special time of year for the whole family, "with Louis and Charlotte just having had their birthdays."

Prince Harry gushed about his wife and newborn son just hours after he was born on Monday.

The new dad spoke to reporters outside Windsor Castle on Monday, saying, "It's brilliant. I'm absolutely thrilled. We're really grateful for all the love and support shown to us ... As every father and parent will ever say, you know, your baby is absolutely amazing, but this little thing is absolutely to die for, so I'm just over the moon."

Harry added, "It was amazing, absolutely incredible, and, as I said, I'm so incredibly proud of my wife. How any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension."

The new parents have released few details about the birth, and haven't even revealed where he was born.

Although it's been reported that Meghan was secretly rushed to a hospital in London late Sunday night after ditching her home birth plan, nothing is official. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex  stated last month that they would be keeping the details of their baby's birth much more private than Will and Kate did with births of their three children. 

The palace stated, "Their Royal Highnesses have taken a personal decision to keep the plans around the arrival of their baby private. The Duke and Duchess look forward to sharing the exciting news with everyone once they have had an opportunity to celebrate privately as a new family."

Honestly, we thought Will and Kate would know more!

Of course, maybe they do know more, but are waiting on Harry and Meghan to reveal the details of their son's birth. They seem genuinely happy for Harry and Meghan, and they're probably just giving them time to bond as a new family before dropping in for a visit. After all, they know better than anyone what it's like to have a new royal baby and the chaos that surrounds it. Visiting Windsor now would only add to the media circus, so it's nice they're giving them some private time before anything else.
