(L & R) Prince Harry spending time with his daughter, Lilibet.<\/p>\n
June 8 2025, Published 12:52 p.m. ET<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Prince Harry once shared what it was like to witness the birth of his daughter, Princess Lilibet, in 2021. After stepping down from their royal duties in 2020, Harry and Meghan Markle moved to the US <\/a>and found welcoming their second child much easier as things were calmer around them. However, inside the delivery room, things were scary for Harry when his daughter\u2019s head was crowning. The Duke couldn’t keep calm, as he worried his daughter was \u2018choking\u2019.<\/p>\n Article continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/p>\n According to People magazine<\/a>, in his explosive memoir, Spare, Harry offered a play-by-play of his daughter\u2019s birth. While Markle was in labor, the Prince hoped to be the first person his daughter could see when she was born, and so he went the extra mile in helping deliver Lilibet. He wrote, \u201cI went and stood beside the doctor. We both crouched, as if about to pray. The doctor called out, ‘The head is crowning.’ Crowning, I thought. Incredible,\u201d hinting at the double meaning behind crowning. The father-of-two shared, \u201cThe skin was blue. I worried the baby wasn\u2019t getting enough air. Is she choking? I looked at Meg. One more push, my love! We’re so close.\u201d<\/p>\n Article continues below advertisement<\/p>\n Harry revealed how, after the last push, he pulled his daughter out as per the doctor\u2019s instructions. He wrote, \u201cA scream, then a moment of pure liquid silence\u2026There was only this intense present, and then the doctor turned to me and shouted, ‘Now!’\u201d Recalling how he put his hands under the womb to pull Lilibet out, Harry wrote, \u201cGently, but firmly, as I\u2019d seen in films, I pulled our precious daughter from that world into this.\u201d After her birth, the Duke claimed he had promised Lilibet he would keep her safe. He also shared that the birthing experience was different from that of his son Prince Archie\u2019s <\/a>in 2019, when the Sussexes were working royals. The couple had to abide by several royal protocols.<\/p>\n Article continues below advertisement<\/p>\n Recently, on June 4, as Lilibet celebrated her 4th birthday, the Duchess of Sussex<\/a> shared a rare hospital video which featured her and Harry dancing to induce labor. Earlier, Harry, too, had spilled in his memoir how he and his wife had In-N-Out and fajitas, followed by their \u2018Baby Mama\u2019 dance. The Prince wrote, \u201cWe ate and ate and then did the Baby Mama dance around the hospital room,\u201d adding there was \u2018nothing but joy and love\u2019 in the room. <\/p>\n Article continues below advertisement<\/p>\n On the occasion of Lilibet\u2019s recent birthday, Markle penned: \u201cFour years ago today, this also happened. Both of our children were a week past their due dates\u2026 so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn\u2019t work, there was only one thing left to do!\u201d The video, which went viral, has left the internet divided<\/a>. While some praised the Sussexes for enjoying Lilibet’s birth, others slammed Markle for posting such a private moment on social media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Source: Instagram | @meghan (L & R) Prince Harry spending time with his daughter, Lilibet.
