The British royal family’s official Instagram account also shared the news alongside the same photo of the new family of three, alongside a caption reading in part, “The couple have been touched by the well wishes they have received on the birth of their first child, and are delighted to share this first photograph as a family.”

On Feb. 9, it was announced that Eugenie had given birth to a son at the Portland Hospital in London. According to a statement from the royal family, he was delivered at 8:55 a.m. and weighed 8 pounds, 1 ounce at the time.

Eugenie shared the happy news on her Instagram the same day, posting a black-and-white photo of her son’s hand curled around one of her fingers. The new mom simply captioned the photo with three blue heart emoji and two exclamation points.
