Michelle Keegan and her husband Mark Wright welcomed a beautiful baby girl into the world recently.
The couple announced the happy news on Instagram on Wednesday, March 12 and revealed their baby girl was born last week.
It’s been reported that Michelle gave birth to her bundle of joy at one of the top maternity hospitals in Europe.
But what other famous faces have given birth there? And how much does it cost? Here, we’re taking a look inside the hospital.
Michelle Keegan had baby at top maternity hospital
Michelle gave birth last week at London’s Portland Hospital, it has been claimed.
The actress has since been resting at home for the past six days in Essex.
“Michelle and Mark are in that beautiful newborn bubble and are besotted with Palma,” a source told The Sun.
And it turns out the private maternity hospital – which is one of the best in Europe – where Michelle gave birth, is no stranger to looking after famous faces.
Who else has given birth there?
In 2021, Princess Eugenie gave birth to a baby boy in the same hospital she was born in more than 30 years ago.
While Spice Girl Victoria Beckham welcomed son Brooklyn in 1999 at the London’s Portland Hospital. And Meghan Markle too, welcomed son Archie in 2019.
More recently, Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague gave birth to her baby daughter Bambi in January 2023.

The hospital’s official website also lists what it offers to patients.
There are “five fully equipped labour and delivery rooms” – and all of them have en-suite bathrooms “for the privacy and comfort of you and your birth partner”.
Each room is equipped with birthing balls and mats too, and parents wanting music can use the Bluetooth speakers that are available.
What’s more, there’s also an oil diffuser “for you to bring your choice of scent if you wish.”
As well as all that, there’s the necessary safety monitoring equipment.
And for after the birth, the hospital offers amenities such as TV, WIFI, in-house telephone and 24/7 room service.
The new parents can even reportedly tuck into a fancy meal that boasts the likes of lobster, oysters and champagne, as MailOnline reports.
It’s also been claimed the mothers are given luxury ‘goodie bags’ when they leave.

How much does it cost?
As for how much mums-to-be need to fork out, they are looking at between £7,995 and £9,300 for a consultant-led maternity care package.
But for a midwife-led maternity care package, it’ll set you back between £11,000 and £12,568.
And that’s not all… Every night spent in the hospital after giving birth, can cost up to £3,340 for a top suite.
So in total, the bill can end up well into the tens of thousands….
