40 minutes from Windsor to Westminister. The #mypalacesources people got smoked - to AND from the hospital. They had no idea.

We don’t know exactly the time of birth (do we?) but it seemed Harry was talking to the press in front of his horses very soon after the birth and indicate that mom and baby were very nearby (which is why some concluded a home birth). Wherever he was born, no paps outed them??

5.26am

So Meg left the hospital a few hours after the birth. Just like her SIL. But H&M eluded paps.
Was the place of birth known to outsiders beforehand?

Nope, but boy did they try to find out.

They would have been camped outside but there were too many hospitals to cover in addition to the Windsor entrances/exits (Meg got by them all anyway). Losers.

They wanted privacy, and they are able to get it.

If I were them, I would have registered at two+ hospitals and told them if anything leaked, they’d go with a different hospital (or if after the fact, I’d bring a damaging report regarding the staff’s inability to keep patient info private).

They can move in pretty quietly w/ covert security. It was fortunate to be in the middle of the night too.

Then get out of there fairly quickly, since my med team can come with me.

PS- that’s not new information. Kate also had princess listed. What else do you think they would put as occupation? Free loader? Banana writer? Humanitarian?

There are really only 2 hospitals he would have been born in - the Portland or St Mary's. But there's a garage entrance to the Portland which I'm sure they used and so they would have escaped paps that way. And it's v common in the UK to leave the hospital very quickly after birth. Of course she would have been able to stay for much longer if she wanted to, but they would let her out after a few hours if she wanted that. I'm a non-celeb and I left about 10 hours after my births, and it was only that long because I had to wait for all of the different medical professionals to come and see me and baby - she wouldn't have had to wait.

I hoped it was, as well.

Archie is an old Scottish name. It is not a diminutive of Archibald. The English added the -bald to the Scottish name. Try not to be provincial Americans.

He doesn't have one because he's an HRH. Because Archie isn't an HRH and isn't (yet) styled with one of Harry's subsidiary titles, Archie has the last name of Mountbatten-Windsor.

William's kids don't have last names because they are HRH Prince/ss. So they use the Cambridge title in place of a last name at school.

They do DNA testing before the certify the baby as a royal offspring. Hence the delay.

Archie is a diminutive of Archibald, an ancient Teutonic name meaning “truly brave.” Try not to be a moron.
