00:00 Meghan would keep anyone from finding out anything.
00:02 She said that she gave birth, but at least everyone knows that part is fake.
00:07 But the surrogate wouldn't have been tested at the time. An inside source revealed in the days leading up to Prince Harry's wife Meghan giving birth,
00:14 the couple were done to learn a DNA test using amniotic fluid routinely performed on royal babies.
00:21 Since the birth of Archie and Lilibet, there have been many fishy and mysterious details.
00:27 However, the royal family was able to hide those secrets by sealing all documents while Meghan paid to silence any witnesses.
00:33 The royal family didn't want to mess up the institution with Meghan's scam, so they kept it a secret.
00:39 But Meghan used that as an excuse so that the children could be in the line of succession.
00:43 Sources reported that Archie was born from a surrogate mother while Lilibet is a borrowed kid.
00:49 However, recently top lawyers explained everything you need to know about surrogacy and peerages.
00:55 Sarah Williams, legal director at Payne Hicks Beach and Edward Bennett, barrister at Harecourt Chambers, offer their insight.
01:02 If you hold a peerage or a baronessy, yes.
01:08 While in the last half a century of family law has seen reforms designed to remove barriers to inheritance or status based on illegitimacy,
01:17 gender, adoption, donor conception or being carried by a surrogate, these reforms have mostly excluded succession to titles.
01:25 The disparity is even more striking for a child born via a gestational surrogate,
01:31 where even when a married opposite gender commissioning couple use their own sperm and egg,
01:36 the act of carrying and giving birth to the child by a surrogate breaks the chain of succession.
01:40 This is a long time fact and a source for the claims that Archie and Lilibet are from surrogates,
01:46 then they don't have a claim to the line of succession.
01:48 And it gets even more complicated as a source close to the Royal Insider spread rumours that Prince Harry wants to remarry the surrogate who gave birth to Archie after he divorces Meghan.
01:59 It's because Harry wants to keep Archie in the royal line.
02:02 According to UK law, if you use a surrogate, they'll be the child's legal parent at birth.
02:08 If the surrogate is married or in a civil partnership, their spouse or civil partner will be the child's second parent at birth,
02:15 unless they didn't give their permission.
02:17 Now Archie's biological mother is single, so it's a good chance for Harry.
02:22 Harry would have to apply in the UK for legal parenthood.
02:25 Line of succession aside, if the surrogate was single at the time, it's pretty routine.
02:31 Harry married her and they're Archie's biological parents.
02:34 Meghan can't use the kid to blackmail the royal family anymore.
02:38 Rules on surrogacy and legitimacy also vary by country.
02:42 Ergo, Britain's laws would be completely different than that of the US.
02:46 Meghan likely just assumed all countries adopt the same laws as the United States without doing any research,
02:52 and this could be why she may have allegedly used a surrogate.
02:55 In the US, there's no difference between surrogate children of that type and biological children,
03:00 but in the UK, surrogates must be adopted, and that automatically disqualified them from the line of succession.
03:07 The irony of all of this is that for someone whose ability to get pregnant
03:11 talk less of carrying naturally a pregnancy to terms and have a vaginal birth, as professed as in doubt,
03:17 her tenacious hold onto the royal titles, which she inferred meant little to her, is absolutely ridiculous.
03:24 Lady C alluded to this last week.
03:26 There's no scenario that Meghan can win on this because of the lies that she perpetuated.
