An Easter Baby For Harry?

As we continue our royal baby watch, there are few signs that the birth is imminent. However, should the newest royal arrive on Easter Sunday, it will be special for another reason.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth celebrates her 93rd birthday on 21st April and she is also staying in Windsor Castle, not far from Meghan and Harry who are in their new home, Frogmore Cottage.

The Queen will be attending an Easter church service at St. George's Chapel, Windsor but it is highly unlikely that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will join her. Her Majesty's birthday is marked each year by gun salutes at Midday:

41 gun salute in Hyde Park
21 gun salute in Windsor Great Park
62 gun salute at the Tower of London

Meghan and Harry's decision not to share the baby's arrival publicly has created a lot of comment in the media and public alike. Part of the joy of following the royal family is sharing special moments in their lives. It is a very fine line to tread- including the public when you choose, especially when tax payers money is used for some of those occasions. 

The public have always held a special place in their hearts for William and Harry as they are the children of the late Diana, Princess of Wales and Prince Charles. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are future monarchs and have found a lovely balance of publicly sharing occcasions in their children's lives with maintaining their privacy for most of the year.

On that note, Prince Louis of Cambridge will be celebrating his first birthday on April  23rd. We hope his parents release an updated photo of their little boy.

Happy Birthday Your Majesty!
