Does the royal baby look like Meghan Markle or Prince Harry? 'We're still trying to figure that out!'

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are eagerly waiting to see which of his parents' features their newborn baby will develop.

Meghan Markle, Prince Harry and their son made their first appearance as a family of three on Wednesday, May 8, two days after welcoming their firstborn. The baby, whose name has not yet been released, slept through the excitement as Meghan and Harry made their first comments about parenthood.

The couple isn't yet sure whether Baby Sussex looks more like mom or dad: "We're still trying to figure that out," the duchess said.

"His looks are changing every single day, so who knows," the duke added, later joking, "He's already got a bit of facial hair as well."

Prince Harry obliged when a reporter asked him to show more of the baby's face, but he remained mostly covered by a swaddled blanket and knit cap -- meaning we still don't know if there's any sign of Harry's signature red hair.

Baby Sussex is the first multiracial and half-American member of the royal family. He's seventh in line for the throne. (His dad is sixth.) Meghan and Harry have become symbolic of the monarchy's entrance into modernity -- a shift that the Duke's late mother, Princess Diana, would certainly be proud of.

The Duchess' mother, Doria Ragland, is spending time with the couple as more members of the royal family get to meet their new relative.

"We just bumped into the Duke [Prince Philip] as we were walking by, which was so nice," Meghan sad. "So it will be a nice moment to introduce the baby to more family, and my mom is with us as well. So it has been a really -- here we go!"
