In a recent revelation from a new book, it has been alleged that Meghan Markle strategically misled the public about the birth of her son, Archie, in an attempt to avoid excessive media scrutiny.
The book claims that amidst a frenzy of media attention, Meghan was determined to keep the birth of Archie private, leading to Buckingham Palace issuing a statement only after the birth had already taken place.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed their first child, Archie, at Portland Hospital in London on May 6, 2019.
According to royal author Valentine Lowe, there were several conflicts between the Sussexes and the media leading up to Archie's birth.
The book, “Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown,” which is set to be released on October 6 and serialized in The Times, sheds light on the behind-the-scenes drama.
The departure of the Sussexes' private secretary, Sam Cohen, was marked by tension and frustration.
Sources revealed that working for Harry and Meghan felt like dealing with teenagers, pushing Cohen to her limits.
The constant battles on behalf of the couple took a toll on her mental health, leading to her eventual departure.
Cohen was replaced by Fiona McIlwom just before Archie's birth, with hopes of providing support to Meghan as she navigated challenges as an American living in the UK.
Meghan's determination to avoid the traditional royal birth experience became evident as she sought to shield Archie from the media spotlight.
Despite the palace announcing her labor, Meghan had already given birth hours before the official announcement.
The book highlights Meghan's desire to maintain privacy and control over the narrative surrounding Archie's birth.
Following Archie's birth, tensions within the royal family escalated as Harry contemplated surprising the Queen with a visit to discuss their decision to step back from their royal duties.
In January 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced their intention to relocate to the US, citing dissatisfaction with their royal roles and strained relationships within the family.
The dynamics within the royal family further strained as Harry reportedly considered a surprise visit to the Queen to address the fallout from their decision.
The book suggests that Harry's frustration with the situation was palpable, leading to contemplation of drastic actions to resolve the conflict.
Despite the turmoil, Harry and Meghan remained present and supportive during the Queen's final moments.
In a poignant statement on their Archwell website, Harry expressed gratitude for the moments shared with the Queen and acknowledged her enduring legacy.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's reunion with other members of the royal family, including Prince William and Kate, marked a significant step towards reconciliation amidst ongoing tensions.
As the royal family navigates through challenging times, unity and solidarity have become paramount.
The decision to include the Sussexes in public appearances reflects a shared commitment to honoring the Queen's legacy and fostering familial bonds.
Despite past conflicts and disagreements, the royal family continues to come together in times of loss and remembrance.
The revelations from the new book shed light on the complexities and intricacies of royal life, highlighting the personal struggles and decisions that shape the family dynamics.
Queen Elizabeth II's legacy and the future of the crown remain central themes in the ongoing narrative of the royal family, as they navigate through transitions and challenges.
