Last week, the Royal Family celebrated the arrival of their newest member as Princess Eugene welcomed her baby boy, Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank.
Following a long-standing tradition, Ernest was born in the opulent surroundings of London’s prestigious Portland Hospital, where both his mother and older brother August were also brought into the world.
Weighing 7lbs 1oz, Ernest made his debut alongside his 2-year-old brother August, as Princess Eugene proudly shared a snapshot of her two sons with the world.
The details of Eugene’s birthing experience quickly emerged, revealing the exclusive support she and Ernest received at the luxurious Portland Hospital.
Renowned for its top-notch amenities, the Portland Hospital offers mothers a pampering experience akin to a five-star hotel, complete with gourmet meals prepared on-site and round-the-clock fine dining services.
A close friend of Princess Eugene confirmed the high-quality care provided by the hospital staff, commending their dedication to ensuring a seamless delivery process over the years.
Situated in Westminster, the Portland Hospital boasts a rich history of catering to royal births, having served Princess Eugene’s own mother, Sarah Ferguson, during her pregnancy in 1990.
Notably, even Meghan Markle and Prince Harry chose the Portland Hospital for the birth of their son, Prince Archie, in 2019.
However, a surprising revelation came to light when Princess Eugene’s friend inquired about other notable patrons of the hospital’s premium services.
To their astonishment, Meghan and Harry were notably absent from the list, prompting confusion among the staff who evaded the question.
Given Meghan’s extravagant baby shower at the Mark Hotel Grand Penthouse suite, which reportedly cost a staggering $430,000, the absence of her utilizing the premium services at the Portland Hospital raised eyebrows.
The Portland Hospital’s allure lies not only in its luxurious accommodations but also in its comprehensive range of services, with stays ranging from £7,000 to £500,000.
On average, expectant mothers can anticipate a bill around £30,000 for their delivery experience, inclusive of consultant-led and midwife-led care.
Moreover, the hospital stands out for being the sole private facility with an on-site neonatal intensive care unit, ensuring the highest standards of medical attention for newborns.
The intrigue surrounding Archie’s birth traces back to Meghan Markle’s enigmatic pregnancy journey, characterized by fluctuating baby bump appearances that fueled speculation.
While rumors of surrogacy persist, the focus shifts to the location of Archie’s birth – was it at home or the hospital?
Initial reports suggested a home birth for Meghan, yet the birth certificate points to the Portland Hospital as the actual site of delivery.
In the book “Finding Freedom,” co-authored by Omid Scobie, allusions are made to a female doctor, a midwife, and a husband who purportedly denied his wife’s involvement in Archie’s birth.
Adding to the mystery, a 2021 article by The Express hinted that Meghan had indeed intended for a hospital birth, raising questions about the conflicting narratives surrounding Archie’s arrival.
