It was a double celebration as Theodore was born on his dad’s birthday.

Mrs Prince, who lives near Bicester, said: “Theodore Rafe Prince was born at 4.31am on January 22, 2021, weighing in at 9 pounds and 8 ounces.

"He was 11 days’ late and waited all night to arrive on his father’s birthday. What timing! What a present!"
