Baby Sussex mystery: where was Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's son actually born?


UPDATED MAY 7, 2019 10:01 AM EDT

While Kate Middleton gave birth to all three of her children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis – at the Lindo Wing in London, presenting the newborns sometimes just hours after their arrivals, the birth of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's son on May 6 is surrounded by mystery. While statement following the baby's birth, which stated that the Duchess' mother, Doria Ragland was "with Their Royal Highnesses" at their Frogmore Cottage home, allowed press to infer the baby had arrived via a home birth, it is now being reported that Baby Sussex came into the world at a local hospital.

The Daily Mail reports that the royal couple's security team secretly took Meghan and Harry from Frogmore House in Windsor to a London hospital, where they stayed overnight until their son was born at 5:26am. Buckingham Palace has declined to confirm or deny the news, saying only: "Details of the birth are private." While Prince Harry confirmed in his emotional post-baby interview on Monday in Windsor that the baby was "overdue" on its arrival, it is unknown if Meghan was induced for the birth.

We'll also be finding out the name of the little one! Prince Harry said the pair are "still thinking about names" for their son. "The baby was a little bit overdue so we've had a little bit of time to think about it. That's the next bit."
