Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, celebrated the arrival of their firstborn, Prince Archie Harrison, on May 6th, 2019.

The joyous news was confirmed by Harry himself, who eagerly shared with the media that he and Meghan were blessed with a healthy baby boy early that morning.

However, the couple’s handling of the announcement raised eyebrows and left many perplexed.

It wasn’t until two days later that the public caught a glimpse of baby Archie when the Sussexes made an appearance at Windsor Castle.

This marked a stark contrast to their previous behavior, which had been described as a game of cat and mouse by royal commentator Simon Viger.

He noted the couple’s peculiar decision to withhold certain details, leaving the press and the world in the dark.

Viger, speaking in the recent documentary “Harry and Meghan: What’s Next,” which aired on April 8th, shed light on the situation.

He revealed, “What was really strange was that we, the press, the world, were lied to about when their baby was actually born.

We didn’t know where it was born.

We were told that Meghan had gone into labor and then there was a baby.

And to have this game of cat and mouse with the media, and I believe their own officials, about where the baby was being born was rather odd.”

Rumors circulated that the palace initially issued a statement stating that Archie was born via surrogate, but the announcement was swiftly taken down.

Lady Colin Campbell claimed that in the early hours of the morning, an announcement from Kensington Palace confirmed the surrogate birth.

However, it was later dismissed as a typographical error.

The official explanation was that the palace’s website had been hacked, but the announcement had already been widely screenshot and shared worldwide.

The original announcement stated, “This is a public announcement, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex used the services of a surrogate.

We apologize for any inconvenience.”

Notably, the lowercase “we” in the second sentence was the typographical error Lady C referred to.

The apology for the inconvenience stemmed from Harry and Meghan misleading the palace about the timing of Meghan’s labor.

This caused confusion as they informed the press that she was in the process of giving birth, only to later reveal that they had already returned home.

The first announcement mentioned that Markle went into labor in the early hours of the morning, but it failed to specify the exact time or whether she was still in labor when the announcement was made.

The second announcement clarified that she had given birth to a son at 5:26 am.

However, it was revealed that the statement confirming her labor was sent more than eight hours after she had already delivered the baby.

Both announcements contained grammatical errors, with the labor announcement referring to Markle as “Her Royal Highnesses.”

The wording of the birth announcement also raised eyebrows.

A press release sent to Insider read, “The Duchess of Sussex has been delivered of a son,” instead of the more conventional “The Duchess of Sussex has delivered a son.”

These inconsistencies and errors added to the confusion surrounding the highly anticipated arrival of baby Archie.

While the world celebrated the birth of Prince Archie Harrison, the controversy and confusion surrounding the announcement left many scratching their heads.

The royal couple’s decision to withhold information and the subsequent typographical errors in the announcements further fueled speculation and skepticism.
