While the royal family could easily afford a private room, Meghan had her reasons. She also had reservations about standing outside for hours after the birth, displaying the child to photographers, not fully grasping that the public's interest was justified since they had funded her extravagant spectacle.
There was involvement from the late Queen's medical team, including one of the country's top gynecologists. Despite all the secrecy, Meghan was ultimately taken to the Portland Hospital, an American-run private facility where birthing packages start at £5,000.
Interestingly, Meghan opted not to follow in Princess Diana's footsteps by giving birth at the private Lindo Wing of St. Mary's Hospital and being photographed on its steps, which was a Diana-like tradition, but she had her own preferences.
However, now nurses from an OBGYN office have stated that geriatric mothers are typically kept in the hospital for a minimum of 12 hours. Harry claimed they left after just two hours, and Meghan said they didn't show Archie because they didn't want to block the ER access, even though there is no ER at the Portland Hospital. A royal expert contacted the Portland Hospital, and they confirmed that there had been no birth on the date provided by the Royals as Archie's supposed birthday.
Additionally, Gary MOA, who was said to be present for Archie's birth and provided help via telephone during Lily's birth, raises questions. The Portland Hospital confirmed that the doctor had no links to their facility.
These discrepancies have fueled concerns among the public about the legitimacy of both births, which can be attributed to Harry and Meghan. Notably, the way information is presented in Meghan's memoir, "Spare," leaves room for technical truthfulness while also being deceptive. For instance, it never explicitly states that Meghan gave birth to Archie.
Moreover, the memoir lacks typical stories about Meghan's pregnancy experience, such as feeling her baby kick for the first time or talking to her belly. While she shares little about her own excitement and expectations during her first pregnancy, Harry doesn't divulge any details about her pregnancy experience either.
Meghan also changed her story about not wanting to stand outside the hospital for photos when she told Oprah that they were never asked. This inconsistency raises questions about the narrative she has been presenting. Additionally, Meghan has kept her children hidden from the public eye for an extended period, waiting for the perfect moment to reveal them and bask in the spotlight without any distractions.
This calculated approach aligns with her desire for celebrity and limelight, which she appears to be reserving for herself, possibly until a strategic moment, such as the 2025 Canadian Invictus Games, when she might introduce her children to the public.
