Traditionally, when a member of the British royal family is born, they are introduced a few days after birth, when they leave the hospital where they were born. So it was when Princes William, Harry, George, Charlotte and Louis were born. However, when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were due to have their first child, there was speculation about what would happen.

The British press speculated that the Sussexes have refused to show their son and are about to set their time. Finally, what happened was a confusion between the Buckingham Palace statement and what Harry and Meghan said about the time of birth, and that the baby was born at a Portland hospital, thus denying what was said that the birth was supposed to take place in Frogmore Cottage. .

In the documentary series, Harry and Meghan reminisced about those moments before Archie’s birth and what was planned for the presentation: “There was a lot of pressure to take pictures with Archie on the stairs. I was worried about giving birth because I was older and don’t know if she will need a c-section,” the Duchess of Sussex explained.

“I knew my doctor for a long time, and she carried my pregnancy, but they told me:“ She is in a hospital in Portland. And the stairs are here (in St. Mary’s Hospital). pictures in front of my hospital.” They said, “Impossible. We couldn’t block off those streets and that would be a threat to the entrance to the emergency room because we would be taking photos there,” said Megan, who answered her from the institute. “What solution? Will we give more time in the Castle? And it was like, “Yeah, great, of course.” Not once has anyone said no. And the session has arrived.

In this session, which took place a couple of days after the birth of Archie, who was born on May 6, 2019, it was possible to take pictures of the baby with his parents, who also answered some questions for several minutes. They did it their own way, as it was believed, but this was not known until the words of Meghan Markle that she did not hesitate to pose in front of the stairs. The fact is that she wanted to give birth in a hospital, where she was treated by a doctor who carried her pregnancy.

“What they were taught, especially you, for not wanting to serve our son in a silver flag. That was incredible. As soon as Archie was born, the media and networks took on a life of their own. Someone posted a photo of a couple with a chimpanzee, and at the top was written: “The royal child leaves the hospital,” Harry recalled with horror.

I was there, I was there for a month, even though, well, they’ve already taken both of them out of some sort of privacy. It was almost as if he were not her child, but the Institution’s. She said, “No, that’s my baby.” I was there when he first entered the house. She was a tiny baby, she just became a grandmother,” Meghan Markle’s mother commented. The Duchess of Sussex was delighted that her mother spent the month: “And it was great to have her around. But after that, there was no one to help Archie and me.”

It was then that nanny Lorren Khumalo arrived: “The protocol was gone and I felt very comfortable. It was the parents involved, they went out to bathe the child. In the morning, when he woke up, they were the first to enter. They were with a child, she fed him. Then I took care of myself, went for a walk with him, ”she said. “She took care not only of Archie, but also of us,” Meghan Markle added gratefully.
