Speaking to Fabulous Digital, Judi James said: “This shot shows Harry sporting a unique, ‘New dad’ smile that uses facial muscles he’s probably never used before!
“The mouth is pulled tight and his teeth are edge to edge, showing a mix of utter delight mixed with the kind of stress and anxiety that the birth might have produced.
“His cheeks are raised high and rounded to show utter pleasure and pride and his eye-smile is so powerful it’s creating bumps on his forehead.”
Judi added that Prince Harry looks “overwhelmed by happiness and excitement.”

The Sussex baby was born at 5.26am this morning and weighs 7lbs 3oz and Prince Harry revealed it was the most “amazing experience”.
The baby's sex was a surprise for the delighted couple, who chose not to find out what they were having.
The newest addition to the Windsor family is a first cousin of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, and a fourth grandchild for the Prince of Wales.
A beaming Harry said: "It's been the most amazing experience I could ever have possibly imagined.
"How any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension. But we're both absolutely thrilled.
"We're both absolutely thrilled and so grateful for all the love and support from everybody out there, it's been amazing, so we just wanted to share this with everybody."
Prince Harry said they were still thinking about names but would show off their baby to the world in the two days' time.
The Duke of Sussex, who was present for the birth, added: "I'm so incredibly proud of my wife.
"And as every father and parent would say, your baby is absolutely amazing.
"But this little thing is absolutely to-die-for so I'm absolutely over the moon."
The royal couple are currently at their new home, Frogmore Cottage, close to the Queen's Windsor Castle home.
The Duchess’s mother, Doria Ragland, who is said to be "overjoyed" by the arrival of her first grandchild, is with the royal couple at Frogmore Cottage.
