Meghan Markle’s mom recently revealed the shocking story behind the birth of Archie Harrison, shedding new light on the circumstances surrounding the royal baby’s arrival. Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was born on May 6, 2019, at the prestigious Portland Hospital in London, the same hospital where Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie were born. Unlike traditional royal births, Meghan and Harry chose a more modern, private approach, announcing Archie's birth themselves on their Sussex Royal Instagram account with a simple statement: "It's a boy!"

The announcement was somewhat unconventional and marked by confusion, with Buckingham Palace releasing two statements on the same day with slightly different timelines for Meghan’s labor and the birth. After Archie's arrival, the couple moved quickly, taking their son home to Frogmore Cottage within hours, emphasizing their desire for intimate family moments rather than public spectacle.
Prince Harry gave a heartfelt first interview after the birth, expressing overwhelming pride in Meghan and Archie. However, the rollout of information sparked rumors and controversies, including inconsistencies about the labor announcement and birth time, leading to accusations that the birth was "stage-managed" to fit a particular narrative.
Details from Archie's birth certificate, made public weeks after his birth, confirmed the delivery time and place but also raised further questions due to unusual edits, like the removal of Meghan’s personal name in favor of a royal title, sparking theories about attempts to control the family’s public image.
Meghan’s mother emphasizes that despite the scrutiny and rumors, the birth was a joyful and transformative moment for the family, marking the beginning of a new chapter as Meghan and Harry transitioned from royal duties to building a life focused on their family and philanthropic ventures.
