Nurse Alleges Prince Harry’s Laughing Gas Use During Archie’s Birth
In a surprising revelation, a nurse who was present during the birth of Archie, the son of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, has come forward with claims that Harry used an entire canister of laughing gas while Meghan was in labor.
The nurse, who prefers to remain anonymous, expressed her concerns about Harry's behavior, suggesting it reflects a lack of self-control during such a significant moment.
The use of laughing gas, or nitrous oxide, is not standard practice in the United States, where this nurse currently works, nor was it a common method utilized in the UK at the time of Archie's birth.
Her comments raise eyebrows, especially considering the implications of a father using a substance prescribed for the mother during labor.
In many hospitals, such behavior could lead to Child Protective Services being alerted about the safety of the child going home with the parent.
In his memoir, Harry candidly admits to consuming the entire canister of laughing gas, leaving none for Meghan.
The nurse described this action as troubling, questioning why a man would feel the need to resort to gas to cope with the birth of his first child.
This sentiment resonates with many who believe that a father should be present and supportive during such a life-changing experience.
Furthermore, the nurse expressed skepticism regarding the couple's narrative surrounding the birth, noting inconsistencies that make it seem more plausible that they might have been using the gas themselves while a surrogate gave birth.
Such speculation adds another layer of intrigue to the already complex story of the Sussexes' family dynamics.
Harry's behavior during the birth has also been criticized as atypical for a first-time father.
While some argue that laughing gas is rarely used in obstetric settings, the nurse's insights suggest that Harry's actions were not what one would expect from someone welcoming their first child into the world.
The timeline surrounding Archie's birth has raised questions as well.
The palace announced that Meghan had gone into labor early on May 6th, but confusion ensued when a second announcement revealed that the baby was already born at 5:26 AM.
This discrepancy left many wondering why the initial announcement implied Meghan was still in labor when, in fact, Archie had been welcomed into the world hours earlier.
Adding to the mystery, it later emerged that Meghan was not even at the hospital when the palace made its first announcement.
Harry disclosed in his memoir that just two hours after giving birth, Meghan was back home in Windsor, having made the short 50-minute drive from the hospital.
This quick departure from the hospital, which typically requires a stay of at least 24 hours for new mothers, raised eyebrows and prompted further speculation.
Royal biographers like Katie Nicholl and Robert Lacey have noted the Sussexes' secretive approach to pregnancy and childbirth, even keeping details from the royal family.
Harry confirmed in 2023 that he did not notify anyone from the hospital before the announcement was made, which may explain the palace's unusually disorganized communications regarding the birth.
After months of speculation and rumors suggesting that Meghan might have faked her pregnancy, the royal birth unfolded in secrecy, with no witnesses present.
To this day, the identities of the medical professionals who assisted during Archie's birth remain undisclosed, adding to the air of mystery surrounding the event.
The only known witness to Archie's birth is Prince Harry himself, which only deepens the intrigue.
As public interest continues to swirl around the Sussexes, this latest revelation from the anonymous nurse has reignited discussions about their choices and the circumstances of their family's beginnings.
