The circumstances of both births have elements of mystery (unneccesarily so?). It was announced by the Sussexes that she had gone into labor with Archie when, in fact, she had already been delivered. Later, in an interview Harry commented that babies change so much in two weeks when the baby was only days old, and this certainly piqued interest, as did the husband of the OB/GYN claimed as the attending physician spoke to the media and said this wasn't so.
The OB/GYN who delivered Lilibet suddenly closed up shop, leaving women who were near-term without a doctor. This is certainly "interesting" because her husband is a fertility specialist. About Lilibet's birth certificate, I guess in California, you can put anything you please on a birth certificate, and so rather than his first and last name, Harry is listed by his title.

Disclaimer: Many people believe this birth certificate is a fake because there was no way under California law for the
Sun or
TMZ to obtain an authorized copy:

So there has always been great speculation surrounding the births of both children. It's obvious that for whatever reason(s), Markle wore a moonbump while pregnant (or "pregnant") with Archie. Some of the moonbump photos and gifs are hilarious, I do have to say. Both children are in the Line of Succession, and UK law requires both babies to have been born "of the body." If a surrogate were used, the surrogate is listed as the mother on the birth certificate.
Not up to me to criticize British laws, only to point out that if Meghan Markle had ever meant for a single second to "hit the ground running" (when before the wedding, she was already securing trademarks and domains and etc.), she could have been such a powerful voice for changing this law.
Meanwhile, this is all very entertaining, especially with all the purported Invictus teaser for next year in Vancouver this week, which has been little more than another "Harry and Meghan show."
