Meet the world's newest royal baby

The Luxembourg royal family has welcomed a new prince, Charles Jean Philippe Joseph Marie Guillaume who is second in line to the throne. 

The precious royal baby has been born to Crown Prince Guillaume and Princess Stephanie.

On Sunday morning, a statement was released informing the public of the arrival of Prince Charles. 

The pair are also tipped to take over the Grand Duchy to celebrate the 21 canon shots that are fired from Fort Thuengen in Luxembourg city. 

Prime Minister Xavier Bettel congratulated Prince Guillaume and Princess Stephanie, whose child joins a long list of other royal cousins; Noah, Gabriel, Amalia and Liam. 

"The child weighs 3.19kg and is 50cm,” an announcement from the royal website revealed.

"The Crown Princess and her child are both doing well.

"The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess look forward to introducing him to the people of Luxembourg.”

Guillaume, 38, will more than likely be the seventh ruler in the Luxembourg branch of the Nassau-Weilburg dynasty. 

36-year-old Stephanie comes from one of the oldest noble families in Belgium and became a Luxembourg royal upon their marriage in 2012.

Grand Duke Henri has ruled Luxembourg since 2000.
