He might have only just made his entrance into the big wide world, but Baby Sussex is already at the centre of some incredible generosity, with his first gifts capturing international attention for a very important reason.

In an unprecedented moment, it has been revealed that none other than New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has shared an amazing gift for Baby Sussex – and we couldn’t think of anything more perfect!

Reported by Morning Report on Radio New Zealand on Tuesday, it was confirmed that Jacinda had gifted a donation to charity Little Sprouts NZ, which prepares boxes of essential living items for families who need them.

She also donated 10 trees to the Trees that Count programme, which plants native trees in New Zealand.

Ardern said the gift was on behalf of all New Zealanders, explaining: “I hope New Zealanders think those are nice gifts on their behalf.”

With Meghan’s passion for social change and environmental awareness, we couldn’t think of a better gift!
