Meghan Markle mom for the second time: why did she choose to give birth in Santa Barbara hospital
This Friday, June 4, Meghan Markle gave birth to a baby girl at the Santa Barbara hospital in Los Angeles. While everyone thought Prince Harry's wife was going to give birth at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, the celebrity hospital, the couple surprised more than one. But why this choice?
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have become parents once again. Indeed, Archie's mother gave birth to a little girl on June 4. It was only two days later that the news was finally officially communicated on the Archewell Foundation website: "Lili was born on Friday June 4 at 11:40 am thanks to the care of doctors and staff at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, Calif. She weighs 7 lbs, 11 oz [equivalent to 3.48 kg].
Both mother and child are in good health and are making it home. " Meghan Markle did give birth at Santa Barbara Hospital in Los Angeles, as some observers believed the mother would give birth to her child at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, which is the stars' favorite hospital, which is located more than 140 km from home.
A hospital with high performance
For comparison, the Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital is much closer as it is only a 10-minute drive from the home of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. And it must be said that this medical complex gives birth to nearly 2,500 newborns every year. In addition to having very good statistics, each room has a Wi-Fi connection. The hospital's website also indicates that pregnant women can order their meals from a menu made according to their wishes as well as snacks adapted to their desires.
Each delivery room has a reclining chair, rocking chair and sofa, in addition to the birth bed. Something to reassure Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. As a reminder, Archie was born in Portland Hospital in London. Conversely, since Lili was born on American soil, she automatically obtains American but also British citizenship, thanks to the citizenship of Prince Harry. A little girl, between two countries.
