Meghan Markle has reportedly snubbed Queen Elizabeth II’s doctors for her baby’s birth due to a shocking reason.

Charlotte Wace and Valerie Elliot, journalists for the Daily Mail, said that the Duchess of Sussex doesn’t want men in suits to oversee the birth of her first child so she decided to refuse the Queen’s suggestion.

The journalists also said that Markle hired her own delivery team, which will be led by an unnamed female doctor. Markle also rejected the help of royal household gynecologists Alan Farthing and Guy Thorpe-Beeston, who are specialists in high-risk births and delivered all three of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s children.

But despite Markle’s recent snub, it is believed that she cannot completely exclude the Queen’s doctors from her upcoming delivery. They will be on standby and will be asked to step in and take over in case something bad happens.

“Meghan said she doesn’t want the men in suits. She was adamant that she wanted her own people… It did leave a few of us a little baffled,” one source said.

Another source said that Markle’s decision to snub the Queen and her doctors was quite surprising because they are the best of the best.

“And when it comes down to it, their role would actually be very limited in the birth itself, assuming all goes to plan,” the source said.

The journalists also claimed that meetings regarding where Markle will give birth and the type of birthing plan she wants will be held before the day comes that she actually welcomes her first child.

But one source said that Markle should be entitled to do whatever she wants to do and to hire whoever she wants to hire because ultimately, she is the one who will give birth and it is her and Prince Harry’s baby.

During a previous engagement, Markle said that she could give birth at the end of the month.
