The Duke of Cambridge considered their efforts to keep the birth a secret as prima donna behavior.

On May 6, 2019, Archie was born at the Portland Hospital in London, a place where many royals, including Princess Beatrice and the Cambridge children, have been born.

However, unlike previous royal births, the news of Meghan going into labor was reported by Sky News around 2 pm, deviating from tradition where the household usually makes the announcement.

This departure from protocol and William’s alleged disapproval is said to be the reason why he and Kate waited eight days before visiting the couple and their newborn.

Royal author Robert Lacey, in his book “Battle of the Brothers,” revealed William’s view on the matter.

He wrote, “William did not think too highly of Harry and Meghan’s prima donna maneuvers to conceal the birth of their son in May 2019.”

Lacey further explained that the delay in William and Kate’s visit confirmed this impression.

The couple later announced the name of their first-born child, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, and shared the news that they had introduced him to Queen Elizabeth II, the Duke of Edinburgh, and Meghan’s mother at Windsor Castle.

Archie made his first public appearance in May of that year, and Meghan expressed her joy, saying, “It’s magic, it’s pretty amazing.

I have the two best guys in the world, so I’m really happy.”

Harry added humorously, “I don’t know who he gets that from,” referring to Archie’s calm temperament.

In other news, Prince William and Kate Middleton seemingly gave Prince Harry and Meghan Markle the cold shoulder during Friday’s Thanksgiving service for the Queen’s Jubilee at St Paul’s Cathedral.

This marked the first time the Cambridges and Sussexes were seen together at an event since the Commonwealth Day service in 2020, just before Harry and Meghan stepped away from royal duties.

As per People magazine, when William and Kate passed by Harry and Meghan’s pew on their way to their seats, they kept their eyes forward, and Harry also avoided direct eye contact with his brother.

Harry and Meghan returned to the UK for the Queen’s Jubilee, their first visit as a family since stepping back from their royal roles.

Although it has been reported that they have already met with the Queen and introduced her to their daughter Lilibet, they have yet to be seen publicly with her.

The Queen, however, withdrew from Friday’s service due to discomfort she experienced the day before.
