Buckingham Palace has released the birth certificate of Prince Harry and Meghan’s baby which shows he wasn’t born at Frogmore Cottage.

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, gave birth to son, Archie, at the private Portland Hospital in Westminster and not at Frogmore Cottage as she had reportedly hoped for.

The birth certificate also listed Meghan’s job as “Princess of the United Kingdom”. That is because she is married to Prince Harry so technically she is “Her Royal Highness, Princess Harry of Wales”.

As Meghan was reportedly a week overdue, she was forced to have Archie in a hospital.

Portland is not just any hospital. Parents are said to receive a “celebration meal” of champagne, lobster and foie gras after the delivery.

The cost for giving birth at the hospital also comes with a royal price tag and can cost between 15,000 to 20,000 pounds ($A28,000-$A37,000).

It has been a popular spot for celebrity mums in London to give birth.

It was there that Prince Harry announced that he was a father.

“I’m very excited to announce that Meghan and myself had a baby boy earlier this morning, a very healthy boy. Mother and baby are doing incredibly well. It’s been the most amazing experience I could ever have possibly imagined,” he said.

“How any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension, but we’re both absolutely thrilled and so grateful to all the love and support from everybody out there. It’s been amazing, so we just wanted to share this with everybody.”
