Baby Wait Continues

Apart from an announcement that Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex are expecting a baby in the northern spring and Meghan sporting a large baby bump, we have been given no other information from their Household about Baby Sussex.


Meghan hinted that late April/ early May is when the baby is due but the royal family tend to give later dates to prevent prolonged interest in the new baby. The bump has been on the large size for dates from quite early on. Some in the media have speculated that twins are on the way, but Meghan and Harry have always referred to "baby" not "babies".

Unlike other royal babies in recent times, the media and public have been given no details about the hospital where the birth will take place or medical staff involved. 

Alan Farthing (pictured right) and Guy Thorpe-Beestin are the royal consultant gynaecologists who have been present for the Duchess of Cambridge's three births and cared for her during her difficult pregnancies. Royal tradition dictates that the Queen's consultants be present for royal births so we can only assume that they will be in the room even if not assisting the Duchess of Sussex.

Sweden's royal prince and princesses release a baby photo to the media after they discretely leave the hospital. Danish royals, like the British, present the newborn/s to the media and public as they leave the hospital. Even Prince Edward and wife Sophie presented their children on the way home from hospital. But Meghan and Harry seem to do things their own way so how the baby's arrival is announced we do not know.

So lots of speculation and conjecture. And we wait.....
