Archie’s Birth: The Secret Obsession of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry
The birth of Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, the first child of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, was a secret that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were obsessed with protecting.
According to a Royal Specialist, both parents were concerned with keeping the specifics of Archie's birth a secret.
Little more than a year after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex wed at Windsor in 2018, Archie Harrison, who is now three, was born.
The Duchess of Sussex, 41, allegedly felt the entire procedure was brutal and did not want to be involved in the media frenzy around the birth of her first baby.
Meghan originally didn't even want to have the baby in a hospital, but according to Ms Schofield, Meghan had expressed interest in having a home birth but was told there could be too many issues as it was a geriatric pregnancy, which is a pregnancy in a woman older than 35.
The Prince of Wales, 40, allegedly found it difficult to comprehend why the couple would deviate from royal protocol, which involves a set of customs that members of the royal family usually adhere to when having a child.

She claimed that Kate, Princess of Wales' third child, Prince William, was so upset with the situation that it took them days to come to meet the kid.
According to Ms Schofield, the palace saw this as one of the first signs of the Sussexes distancing themselves from the firm.
In her latest book, The New Royals.
Queen Elizabeth's Legacy and the Future of the Crown, Royal Authority Katie Nicholl, asserts further that the Duke of Sussex was reputed to be almost obsessively concerned with diverting media attention away from his firstborn.
One source claimed that Harry was almost morbidly concerned with keeping the details of Archie's birth a secret.
According to Ms Nicholl, who described the Duke as a royal who always loved out-foxing the media, there was a gap in time between the Duchess' delivery and the declaration that Meghan was in labour.
Even before the palace press office had officially announced the Duchess was in labour, she wrote, he and Meghan were happy to be safely delivering their son in London's private Portland Hospital.
When Archie was born, both mother and son were doing really well, according to Prince Harry at the time, who added that he and Meghan were extremely pleased with the news.
The young Archie was then estimated to weigh 7lbs 3oz by Buckingham Palace.
The Duke of Sussex said of seeing the birth, “This is absolutely my first birth.
It was great, absolutely amazing and I'm so very proud of my wife, as I stated.”
When Kate and William welcomed their three children, many royals posed for pictures with the infant on the hospital stairs, including the Princess of Wales.
However, two days after his birth, at a photo call at Windsor Castle, the general public saw its first look of Archie.
“It's magic,” Meghan told reporters.
“I'm extremely thrilled since I have the two best guys in the world.
He has the kindest disposition.
It has been a great couple of days since he has just been the dream.”
Prince William Learning Welsh
As the air reads the Welsh word for tea, Prince William admits he is studying the language.
During the early years of their marriage, Prince William and Kate, Princess of Wales, spent a lot of time in Wales.
As he wraps up his first trip to the country since being crowned Prince of Wales, Prince William has stated that he is now learning Welsh.
The heir to the throne claimed to be familiar with the Welsh word for tea, pained, already.
The Prince of Wales spoke about his efforts to learn the language on Tuesday when he spoke to Reverend Stephen Bunting in Swansea.
The Reverend then remarked that the Prince was shown signs of genuine devotion to the nation.
We already know that William and Kate like Wales, but having them here has been incredible and, in my opinion, is a precursor to their dedication to the country.
The fact that they spoke to everyone, young and old, astounded us and demonstrates how fully dedicated they are to their duties as Prince and Princess of Wales.
The Future of the Title “Prince of Wales”
But since King Charles became monarch, discussion about the destiny of the title Prince of Wales has intensified.
More than 35,000 people have signed a petition asking for the title to be abolished, which is described on the page as an insult to Wales and a symbol of historical tyranny.
The new Prince and Princess of Wales will approach their new roles in the way that they have tackled their past activities, in their own way, according to a royal source.
Accordingly, they will work to increase the trust and esteem of the people of Wales, which would necessitate a shortened or skipped investiture event.
In 1969, when Charles was 20 years old, he was sworn in as Prince of Wales.
The ceremony, which was held at Cairnarfon Castle, sparked protests and even bomb plots.
A majority of Britons support Prince William assuming the title, according to a recent YouGov survey released on Monday, but much less favour an extravagant ceremony modelled by the one held in 1969.
The couple is approaching their new positions with humility and great respect, according to a statement from Kensington Palace.
The statement said, the Prince and Princess look forward to celebrating Wales' strong history, customs, and a bright future.
They will strive to match the great contributions made in the past by members of the Royal Family.
