Former first lady Michelle Obama congratulated Meghan Markle and Prince Harry on the birth of their first child Monday.
“Barack and I are so thrilled for both of you and can’t wait to meet him,” Obama tweeted in response to the royal family announcing the birth of the baby boy.

The couple has not yet chosen a name for their newborn, Prince Harry told reporters Monday morning.
Obama and the duchess privately met last year to discuss their passion for advocating for women’s issues, the education of young girls, and raising children.
Obama told Good Housekeeping in December her “biggest” advice to the duchess “would be to take some time and don’t be in a hurry to do anything.”
“What I’d say is that there’s so much opportunity to do good with a platform like that — and I think Meghan can maximize her impact for others, as well her own happiness, if she’s doing something that resonates with her personally,” Obama said.
