While the royal couple declined to share details of their son’s birth, a British wire service obtained a copy of Archie’s birth certificate May 17. The document shows the duchess gave birth May 6 at The Portland Hospital, which is owned by Nashville, Tenn.-based HCA Healthcare.
The Portland Hospital is a private facility that often serves wealthy patients, according to CNN. A normal delivery will cost patients about $7,800, while Caesarean section costs are listed at $10,200 on the hospital’s website.
Most royals — including Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge — give birth at the Lindo Wing, a private, upscale maternity ward in London.
