In his memoirs, Prince Harry goes into great detail about the births of his two children. He tells how he got high on nitrous oxide at Archie’s to calm his nerves.
In his memoirs “Spare”, Prince Harry, 38, not only talks about daughter Lilibet’s birth on June 4, 2021, in which he was significantly involved, he also reveals details about son Archie’s birth.
Prince Harry opens up about Archie’s birth
In his book, Harry reports that when Archie was born on May 6, 2029, he ate chicken in London’s Portland Hospital and was intoxicated with laughing gas.
According to the “Daily Mail”, he describes how Duchess Meghan, 41, “jumped on a giant purple ball” during labor, then got into the bathtub and listened to music. Harry, meanwhile, lit the room with electric candles and placed a photo of his late mother, Princess Diana, on a table in the delivery room. To calm his nerves, he then took laughing gas, i.e. nitrous oxide, which was actually intended for Meghan.
‘Meg was so calm. I was calm too. But I saw two ways to improve my rest. First: Nando’s chicken (brought by our bodyguards). Second: A canister of nitrous oxide next to Meg’s bed. I took several slow, penetrating thrusts. Meg, bouncing on a giant purple ball, a time-tested way of giving nature a nudge, laughed and rolled her eyes. I took several jabs and now I was jumping too.”
Duchess Meghan gave birth to a healthy boy
It’s just stupid that a nurse then came and wanted to administer laughing gas to Meghan for the pain, but this was already used up. “I could see the thought slowly dawning. How nice, the husband has used up everything. ‘Sorry,’ I said sheepishly.”
The seemingly jovial mood quickly changed, however, when doctors entered the delivery room and decided to give his wife an epidural. “The anesthetist rushed in. The music stopped, the lights went on. Wow. The atmosphere changed.” In the end everything turned out well and Archie was born healthy.
When Lili was born, Harry was apparently a bit more experienced: “This time I didn’t touch the nitrous oxide (because there wasn’t any).”
