"Both my wife and I are overjoyed at the arrival of my first grandchild," said Britain's Prince Charles in an official statement released today, July 23, 2013.
The Prince of Wales' daughter-in-law Duchess Catherine gave birth to a boy, her first child with Prince William, earlier today (July 22 in London); and the doting grandfather and Duchess Camilla were ecstatic to welcome the latest addition to the royal family.
"It is an incredibly special moment for William and Catherine and we are so thrilled for them on the birth of their baby boy.
"Grandparenthood is a unique moment in anyone's life, as countless kind people have told me in recent months, so I am enormously proud and happy to be a grandfather for the first time and we are eagerly looking forward to seeing the baby in the near future."
