Amidst the excitement surrounding the birth of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s son, Archie, questions have emerged regarding the details surrounding his arrival.
Contrary to earlier reports, it has now been revealed that Meghan did not give birth at the Portland Hospital, as initially claimed.
This revelation has sparked speculation and raised concerns about the legitimacy of both Archie’s birth and his younger sister Lily’s recent arrival.
Initially, Meghan had expressed her desire to follow in the footsteps of the Queen by opting for a midwife-led birth at Frogmore Cottage, their new home in Berkshire.
She aimed to avoid the intrusive nature of a hospital setting, often referred to as a “goldfish bowl.”
However, given the royal family’s resources, many wondered why Meghan did not choose a private room for the birth.
Furthermore, Meghan seemed reluctant to adhere to the tradition of standing outside the hospital hours after giving birth, presenting the newborn to photographers.
It is worth noting that the public’s substantial financial contribution towards the couple’s extravagant wedding might have fueled their interest in such moments.
Contrary to expectations, Meghan did not follow Princess Diana’s footsteps by giving birth at the private Lindow Wing of St Mary’s Hospital, where she could have been photographed on its iconic steps.
Instead, Meghan opted for the Portland Hospital, an American-run private facility known for its high-end birthing packages starting from £15,000.
This choice came as a surprise, as it deviated from Diana’s approach.
However, the plot thickens when considering the claims made by nurses from Meghan’s OB-GYN’s office.
According to them, geriatric mothers, like Meghan, are typically required to stay in the hospital for a minimum of 12 hours after giving birth.
Yet, Meghan and Harry allegedly left the hospital after only two hours.
Meghan justified this decision by stating that they didn’t want to hinder emergency room access, despite the fact that the Portland Hospital does not have an ER.
Further doubts were cast on Meghan’s birthing story when a royal expert contacted the Portland Hospital.
The hospital confirmed that there had been no birth on the date provided by the Markles as Archie’s birthday.
Additionally, claims made by Gary Mother, who supposedly assisted during Archie’s birth and provided support via telephone during Lily’s birth, were debunked by the hospital, which stated that the doctor had no affiliations with their facility.
These discrepancies have led some to question the authenticity of both births.
Some argue that Harry bears responsibility for any doubts surrounding the legitimacy of the children’s arrivals due to his choices and actions.
Moreover, upon closer examination, it becomes apparent that the wording used in various statements allows for the possibility of a surrogate birth.
The deliberate use of active and passive voice, coupled with carefully crafted sentence structures, never explicitly confirms that Meghan gave birth to Archie.
Adding to the intrigue, Harry’s reticence to share personal anecdotes about Meghan’s pregnancy journey raises eyebrows.
While he readily discusses other aspects of their lives, such as Prince William’s son’s fashion choices, he remains silent on his own experiences and excitement as an expectant father.
Additionally, Meghan’s shifting narrative regarding her reluctance to pose outside the hospital for photographs further fuels speculation.
In her interview with Oprah, she claimed that they were never asked, insinuating that the royal family deliberately excluded them.
This contradicts earlier reports and adds to the air of deception.
It is worth noting that Meghan has kept her children out of the public eye for an extended period, leading to speculation that she is waiting for the perfect moment to introduce them and capitalize on their celebrity status.
