Dr. Melissa Drake, the obstetrician who delivered Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s second child Lilibet, has suddenly closed her practice to focus on her health and family.

She announced the closure on Instagram, stating her leave of absence would begin on June 30, leaving many pregnant patients scrambling for new care.

Expectant mothers in the affluent Santa Barbara area were shocked by the abrupt closure, with some expressing frustration over the lack of notice.

Dr. Drake, known for empowering patients during their birth experiences, received widespread praise for her approach, with many calling her a significant loss to the community.

Despite requests for more details, Dr. Drake did not elaborate on her decision but emphasized the importance of patient autonomy in OB/GYN care.
