Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Explain Why They Didn't Do Traditional Photo Call with Newborn Son Archie, Sparking Backlash

If you remember, back in May of 2019, Meghan Markle gave birth to her and Prince Harry’s first child, Archie, who is now three years old.

Traditionally, Kate Middleton, and Princess Diana before her, took photos with their newborn babies on the hospital steps just hours after their births.

Meghan and Harry ended up presenting Archie to the world two days after his birth.

“There was already the pressure of the picture with Archie on the steps, and ‘Are they gonna do that, are they not?’ … But I had been really worried going into that labor because I’m older and I didn’t know if I’d have to have a C-section. And I had a very long-standing relationship with my doctor and that’s who I trusted with my pregnancy,” Meghan shared. Meghan gave birth at a completely different hospital than Kate Middleton did (the Lindo Wing of St. Mary’s Hospital.)

“And [the palace] said, ‘Right, but she’s at Portland Hospital and the steps are at this hospital.’ I said, ‘OK, we could do a photo call in front of Portland Hospital.’ And they said, ‘It’s impossible. We couldn’t barricade these streets off, and it would create a threat for the emergency room entrance, because that’s where you would have to do this picture,’” she added. “We said, ‘OK, what’s the hybrid? Can we give them more time at the castle?’ And everything in turn was like, ‘Yes. Yes, great. Oh, yes.’ At no point did someone go, ‘Absolutely not.’”

“The amount of abuse that we got, especially [Meghan], but both of us, for not wanting to serve our child up on a silver platter, was incredible,” Harry added.
