Place Of Birth

Unlike every other member in the Royal Family, Meghan Markle did not give birth at the Lindo Wing at St Mary’s Hospital. This was a decision that the married couple made following a breach in security when Kate Middleton gave birth there most recently.

Their family home, Frogmore Cottage, recently had a whopping £3 million spent on renovations and rumor has it, that Meghan’s dream was to give birth there with Harry, her mother and a midwife by her side. However, that didn’t happen.

To The Hospital

Meghan was later transferred to The Portland Hospital, where she stayed in a £20,000 maternity ward, where they help parents celebrate with a lobster celebration and rooms cost £2,000 a night. Other celebs such as Victoria Beckham have also given birth here.

Champagne as and when you want is also available as well as a four-poster cot for the baby. Some suggested that Meghan would give birth at Frimley Park Hospital, and Portland couldn’t be further away in terms of luxury. There is also a five-star nursery for the new mums and children and hotel suites for the families.

Announcement

When Harry attended a press call on May 6 2019 to announce the news, he was beaming with excitement and love. Everybody could see it that the Prince could barely stand still and ultimately looked like he wanted nothing more than to run back to his new family.

However, the announcement was far from traditional. The news of Meghan being in labor actually came after the baby had already been born. According to the official announcement, the baby was born at 5:26 am UK time, yet it wasn’t announced until 2 pm UK time.

What Harry Said

During the press call, Harry said the following, “It’s been the most amazing experience I could ever have possibly imagined. How any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension. But we’re both absolutely thrilled.”

“We’re both absolutely thrilled and so grateful for all the love and support from everybody out there, it’s been amazing, so we just wanted to share this with everybody.”
