According to Bower, tensions behind palace walls were far more intense than the public ever realized during the days leading up to Archie’s arrival in 2019. He alleged that disagreements over privacy, media access, and royal protocol created significant friction between Harry, palace officials, and even members of the Royal Family. While many details remain disputed, Bower claimed the situation became so chaotic that emotions were running “at boiling point.”
The author suggested that Harry became increasingly frustrated with what he believed was excessive media intrusion and pressure from royal traditions. Determined to protect his family, the Duke reportedly pushed back against standard royal procedures surrounding royal births, including hospital photo calls and public announcements. At the time, the unusual handling of Archie’s birth sparked widespread speculation online, with critics and supporters fiercely divided.
Social media quickly exploded following Bower’s remarks, with hashtags related to Archie and Harry trending within hours. Some users defended the Duke, arguing he was simply trying to shield his wife and newborn son from relentless attention. Others accused the Sussexes of creating unnecessary secrecy that fueled public suspicion.
Royal experts have pointed out that Harry’s strained relationship with the British press was already deeply rooted long before Archie’s birth. Many believe the experience became a turning point that further widened the divide between the Sussexes and the monarchy. The couple’s eventual departure from royal duties in 2020 only intensified public curiosity about what truly happened behind closed doors.
