The royal family has a rule for just about everything. So it's no surprise that the Mountbatten-Windsors are following the Royal Pregnancy and Childbirth Protocol – one of these could prevent Prince Harry from joining Meghan Markle in the delivery room on arrival of Baby Sussex.
Birth Rules of the Royal Family
Before Prince Charles and Princess Diana welcomed Prince William into the world, it was rare (and contrary to the royal protocol) for husbands to mutilate fathers to come to join their wives in the delivery room. . In fact, Prince Philip was not present at the birth of Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace in 1948. Instead, he wandered around the palace and even played squash while waiting for the arrival of his son. first and future king.
Upon Prince William's arrival, Prince Charles and Princess Diana decide to abolish the old tradition and Prince Charles becomes one of the first modern royal men to attend the birth. Since then, other royal men – including Prince William, present at Kate Middleton's three deliveries – have joined their wives in the work and delivery room.
Given the new family tradition, Prince Harry will most likely be present at work and the arrival of his firstborn.
