Prince Harry is getting his very first dose of fatherhood!

Despite his lack of sleep, Harry, 34, seemed over the moon as he happily answered questions from reporters after his son's birth on May 6.
“I’ve had about two hours of sleep,” the Duke of Sussex reportedly told ITV off-camera.
The next day, Harry's older brother, Prince William wished the new dad good luck and jokingly welcomed him into "the sleep deprivation society that is parenting."
