Amy Schumer was right: It turns out she and Duchess Meghan were indeed, "like, to the day, the same amount pregnant."
The comedian, who humorously compared their pregnancies in her March Netflix special "Growing," gave birth to a son Sunday night, mere hours before the royal welcomed hers the following morning. Actually, given the five-hour time difference, it could have been more like minutes rather than hours.
Schumer, who like Duchess Meghan is 37, announced the news Monday on Instagram with a wink toward Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan: "Our royal baby was born."
In the photo, Schumer smiles blissfully as husband Chris Fischer kissed her on the temple. She cradled her sleeping son in her arms.
Like the royals, the couple has not revealed their little prince's name yet.
The comedian had a rough pregnancy, suffering the effects of hyperemesis gravidarum (acute morning sickness) throughout the nine months. It forced her to cancel numerous shows but it also made for great Instagram posts and standup fodder.

She kept on bringing the funny right up until she headed for the delivery home, making a pit stop to pose on the Met Gala red carpet. Her "Met look this year"? A Henley shirt, cardigan and leggings.
In "Growing," Schumer commented, "I'll tell you who it's not fun to be pregnant at the same time as: Meghan Markle."
During the special, which was taped before the royal began to show, she observed, "I think we're, like, to the day, the same amount pregnant. And she's out there in six-inch heels, adorable outfits and she has like – there's been no bump. She, like, cups where the bump will be."
She added, "People see me, they're like, 'Oh, the last couple of weeks are the hardest, right? Are you crowning? I think I can see an ear.' "
Like Meghan and Harry, it was the first child for both Schumer and Fischer, a chef whom she married in a surprise February 2018 ceremony.
