Royal Family News – Prince Harry And Meghan Markle’s Secret Delivery Plans

Apart from being a well-reputed hospital, one of the many perks of the Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital is that it is just a short drive away from the Sussexes’ multi-million dollar mansion in Montecito, California.
According to PEOPLE, a source revealed that the couple “looked at several hospitals before they settled on the Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. Meghan loves that it’s female-founded.”

Dr. Melissa Drake was in charge of Meghan’s care, with Dr. Gowri Motha, who helped oversee the care during the birth of Archie in London’s Portland Hospital, providing remote support from the U.K.

The facility provides a state-of-the-art childbirth center that offers a family-centered, individualized approach to birth. (In addition to a menu to order room service).

“Security and privacy were also priorities,” the source added. “They had a big security team that the hospital needed to accommodate.”

The couple spoke about the discomfort they felt when introducing their son Archie to the world just days after his birth in 2019 in the U.K. This time around, having stepped down from their roles as senior royals, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle now have the choice to introduce their child to the world whenever and however they like, with no pressure for a public press conference.

“Meghan and Harry are both very thankful for how smoothly things went,” the source further added. “They could enjoy the birth in peace.”

Meghan Markle And Prince Harry’s 20-Week Paid Parental Leave

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced shortly after the birth of their daughter that they’ll be taking a five-month paid parental leave, as per the norm for Archewell Foundation’s workers. Reportedly, they want to take the time off in order to focus on their family.

Their ongoing projects are nowhere on the back burner, as Harry’s upcoming docuseries with Netflix that captures the spirit of the Invictus Games and Meghan’s first children’s book, The Bench, which was inspired by a poem she’d previously written on Father’s Day for Harry after they’d welcomed Archie, are still progressing.

The source continued, adding that “Meghan and Harry are taking time off to focus on their family. They want to have a long summer break together as a family.”  Keep checking Royal Family news on Celebrating The Soaps for more Meghan Markle updates.
