When Prince Harry informed Prince William that Meghan Markle was expecting their first child, Prince William had only four words to say in response.
When the Duke and Duchess of Sussex learned in 2018 that they were going to become parents, they were overjoyed and filled with joy. At the wedding of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, which took place in October of that year, the couple made the decision to publicly share their joyous news to the Royal Family.
Prince Harry said that he told his brother about the event while they were both present at the banquet held at St. George's Hall in Windsor. This information was included in the memoir that Prince Harry titled "Spare." "We were in a big room, suits of armor on the walls. Strange room, strange moment,” the Duke of Sussex penned.
According to Prince Harry, when Prince William was informed of his news, he grinned and said only four words: "We must tell Kate." In addition, the Duke of Sussex provided specifics of the reaction of the Princess of Wales, stating that she was ecstatic at hearing the news, The Mirror reported.
“She also gave a big smile and hearty congratulations. They both reacted exactly as I hoped - as I'd wished," Prince Harry said of Princess Kate. On the occasion of the wedding, Meghan and Harry disclosed their pregnancy to King Charles.
It was reported by the Duke of Sussex that the king was "delighted" upon learning the news. "Just before a drink reception for the bride and groom, we cornered Pa in his study. He was delighted to learn that he was going to be a grandfather for a fourth time; his wide smile warmed me," Prince Harry wrote.
Meghan gave birth to Prince Archie on May 6, 2019 at the Portland Hospital, London, as per Hello Magazine. Princess Lilibet, who was born on June 4, 2021 at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in California, is the second child that the Sussexes have welcomed into their family following the birth of their first child.
In his memoir, Prince Harry disclosed that he was extremely anxious in the days leading up to the birth of his first kid. He also wrote about the birth of his first child. As a means of gathering his composure, Prince Harry made the decision to experiment with the laughing gas that was intended for his bride. Harry, on the other hand, was compelled to apologize for unintentionally utilizing the full canister of laughing gas as Meghan's labour started.
"When her contractions began to quicken, and deepen, a nurse came and tried to give some laughing gas to Meg. There was none left. The nurse looked at the tank, looked at me, and I could see the thought slowly dawning: Gracious, the husband's had it all. Sorry, I said meekly,” Prince Harry wrote.
