Yet another big reveal now that Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor's birth certificate has been registered by the proud papa himself, Prince Harry! Meghan Markle and the Prince's firstborn child, born Monday, May 6, 2019 at 5:26 AM GMT, was actually delivered at The Portland Hospital in London, contrary to previous speculations that 37-year-old Meghan gave birth to little Archie at home.

The reveal also confirms that the Duke and Duchess did not welcome their child at St. Mary’s Hospital like Kate Middleton and Princess Diana.

Archie’s 'reveal' comes in the heels of Prince Charles' first visit of the royal baby at Frogmore Cottage. The Duke and Duchess of Cornwall met their new grandson for the first time on May 16.
