Meghan Markle and Prince Harry royal baby birth arrival will be kept private, Kensington Palace confirms
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will first celebrate privately as a family according to Kensington Palace
MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry will keep the birth of their first born private until they have had an opportunity to celebrate as a family.
Kensington Palace announced today that the royal couple, who are expected to welcome their first child together this month, have made the 'personal decision' to avoid the public eye.
In a statement the palace said: "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very grateful for the goodwill they have received from people throughout the United Kingdom and around the world as they prepare to welcome their baby.
"Their Royal Highnesses have taken a personal decision to keep the plans around the arrival of their baby private.
"The Duke and Duchess look forward to sharing the exciting news with everyone once they have had an opportunity to celebrate privately as a new family."
It comes just days after it was reported that Meghan has royally snubbed the Queen's doctors in the lead up to the birth of her first child, as she doesn't want the "men in suits" to deliver her baby.
The Sun revealed that the Duchess of Sussex is expected to break a four-decade royal tradition by shunning the Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital in London.
Royal Correspondent Emily Andrews reported that the mum-to-be wants a more private, normal birth and to bond with her baby without the pressure of looking picture perfect.
“The birth of Baby Sussex will be a global event.
“If there is no pose outside the hospital the couple, on this most personal of occasions, they will be sure to send photos to the millions awaiting them.
“It’s worth remembering they are a celebrity power couple and we know how significant they are in the royal family.”
