Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, are bucking the tradition of royal baby photo calls. MaxFosterCNN explains why:
London Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, was introduced to the world, cradled in Princess Diana's arms, at a photo call on the steps of the Lindo Wing, the private maternity ward at London's St. Mary's Hospital, just days after his birth in September 1984.
As Harry prepares to become a father himself, however, he and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, don't plan to expose their newborn son or daughter to the glare of the world's press in the same way. Harry and Meghan have broken with modern convention by choosing to keep all details of the new arrival private. We don't even know where the birth will be, whether at hospital or at home.
How Harry and Meghan may break from royal baby traditions 02:15Perhaps Meghan is following royal custom in her own way by deciding to keep the birth out of public view. Home births, which by their nature are more private, were once the norm in the royal family. As Arbiter explained,"the Queen's four children were born at home -- Charles at Clarence House Anne, Andrew and Edward at Buckingham Palace. Princess Margaret's two children were born at home.
