The Duke of Sussex has been making headlines across the globe while promoting his memoir, Spare and detailing some explosive moments from his life in the British royal family. But now he has shared intimate moments from the delivery of his two children with wife, Meghan Markle.
In 2019, the Duchess of Sussex delivered her first child Archie – who is now three years old – at The Portland Hospital in London.
When pregnant with Archie, Meghan was 10 days past her due date already.

Given it was his first child, Harry became extremely nervous and used the entirety of the laughing gas brought in for his wife. However, he used so much of it, the hospital had to bring in another bottle.

However, the memoir detailed that there had been a complication while delivering Archie as he was “tangled.”
Despite the organized chaos of Archie’s birth, Prince Harry confessed Lilibet’s delivery two years later in June 2021 was more a calmer environment.
“What bliss, we said, not having to worry about timing, protocols, journalists at the front gate,” the young prince said.
Prince Harry noted the doctor guided him on how to deliver Lilibet into the world after revealing his wish to be the first thing his daughter saw.
After being overwhelmed with emotion after meeting his second child for the first time, he handed Lilibet to her mother for skin-to-skin contact.
