In a reference to the royal baby, she announced the birth on Instagram with a picture of her little boy, alongside her husband Chris Fischer, saying: "10:55 pm last night. Our royal baby was born."
The 37-year-old comedian also revealed that she stopped off at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on her way to give birth - as organisers for the Met Gala were getting ready for the iconic event.
She said: "Met look this year. Last night on the way to the hospital."
