Is there anything more precious than introducing your newborn for the first time?

In the aftermath of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle welcoming their second child - a daughter named Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor - the world is counting down for that all-important first family photo.

While we don't know exactly when the Sussexes will drop the first snap of Lilibet, who was born on June 4, there's no denying just how special a moment it is when the world is introduced to a royal newborn for the first time.

From the beautiful first introductions of Prince George and Princess Charlotte, to the heartwarming times Princess Diana showed Prince William and Prince Harry to the world, these stunning snaps will go down in history.

We also revisit some of our favourite Danish and British royals, including Princess Mary and Duchess Sarah when they showed us their beautiful newborns.
