How Meghan went to hospital, delivered Archie and returned to Frogmore Cottage within two hours – without causing any suspicion

‘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.’

Fortunately, the nurse saw the humour in the situation and replaced the canister for Meghan.
The duchess settled into the bath, immersing herself in the calming sounds of Deva Premal’s Sanskrit mantras, which had been remixed into hymns.
Harry set the ambiance by arranging electric candles – the same ones he had used during his proposal to Meghan – around the room.
Among the items in her overnight bag was a framed photograph of Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana.
He noted in his memoir that this touching tribute was Meghan’s idea.

Despite Meghan’s efforts to breathe through the discomfort, the intensity became overwhelming and she ultimately had to receive two epidurals.
‘The anaesthetist hurried in. Off went the music, on went the lights,’ Harry writes.
