Royal Drama Unfolds: Prince William Unimpressed by Harry and Meghan’s Birth Announcement

Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, was reportedly less than impressed by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's handling of the birth announcement for their son Archie, as revealed by a royal author.

The couple's attempt to keep the birth a secret was met with disapproval from William, who viewed their actions as prima donna behavior.

Archie made his entrance into the world on May 6, 2019, at the prestigious Portland Hospital in London, a location frequented by many members of the royal family for generations, including Princess Beatrice and the Cambridge's own three children.

In a departure from royal tradition, the news of Meghan going into labor broke around 2 pm through a report by Sky News, rather than the customary announcement by the palace.

This unconventional approach did not sit well with Prince William, leading to a delay of eight days before he and Kate visited the new parents and their baby, according to reports from Birmingham Live.

Renowned royal author Robert Lacey delves into William's perspective in his latest book, “Battle of the Brothers,” shedding light on the Duke of Cambridge's discontent with Harry and Meghan's efforts to conceal Archie's birth.

The official announcement of Archie's arrival came with the revelation of his full name: Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.

Following the birth, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex introduced their newborn to Queen Elizabeth II, marking a significant moment at Windsor Castle.

The presence of the Duke of Edinburgh and Meghan's mother added to the joyous occasion, as Archie made his debut in the public eye later that month.

Meghan expressed her delight at motherhood, describing the experience as magical and praising her son's calm demeanor, while Prince Harry humorously pondered where such tranquility originated from.

Meanwhile, tensions within the royal family surfaced during the Thanksgiving service for the Queen's Jubilee at St Paul's Cathedral, where Prince William and Kate Middleton appeared to distance themselves from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

The event, commemorating Queen Elizabeth's 70-year reign, marked a rare gathering of the Cambridges and Sussexes since the couple's step back from royal duties in 2020.

As per reports, the interactions between the two couples were notably frosty, with Prince William and Kate seemingly avoiding direct contact with Harry and Meghan.

The reunion of the royal brothers at the Jubilee event hinted at underlying rifts within the family, as Prince Harry and Meghan's return to the UK for the first time since their departure, known as Megxit, drew attention.

Despite prior meetings with the Queen and their daughter Lilibet, the Sussexes have yet to be publicly seen alongside the monarch.

Notably, Queen Elizabeth had to withdraw from the Friday service due to discomfort, adding a somber note to an already tense gathering at St Paul's Cathedral.
