Harry and Meghan: royal romance crowned by birth of son

The arrival this week of their first child -- a boy shown off to the public on Wednesday -- crowns the whirlwind love story of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, coming less than three years since they first met.

When the couple first met, she was 34 and a divorcee of three years; he 31 with a few foundered relationships and his 10-year army career
