When it comes to the royal family, there are still strict rules and protocols that they follow. And these even forbid people from gatekeeping events to restrict people from public displays of affection. However, it is bizarre how Kate Middleton had to hide the birth of her child from her own parents.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have clearly defied the royal rules many-a-times unlike Kate Middleton and Prince William. The latter seems to conform more to their traditions. Some royal norms have turned out to be controversial at times. Here’s all about why Princess Catherine couldn’t tell the birth of her child at the moment to her parents.
Kate Middleton Had To Wait To Tell Her Parents The Birth Of Prince George
Kate Middleton and Prince William had their first child Prince George in 2013. Growing up the eldest child appeared in many public events, and learned the royal norms. However, he was under restrictions of the royal protocols from the time of his birth. This stopped Princess Catherine from letting her parents, Carole and Michael Middleton know the birth of her son.
According to the protocols, as per Express, when a new monarch is born, it should be the current monarch who gets to know first, before anyone else. Thus Kate Middleton had to let Queen Elizabeth know the news first. The Duchess of Cambridge probably had to hold back the news from her parents till word came back from the queen. Since not the old times, this should have taken only minutes. In addition, Kate Middleton’s mother should have accompanied her daughter to the delivery room.

Kate Middleton Breaking Royal Norms
Things must have been different when Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis were born. Though Queen Elizabeth II would have been among the first to know, there isn’t any law that prohibits the Duchess of Cambridge from telling the news to her parents. On the other hand, when it comes to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, they have a life free of the norms and restrictions.
Kate Middleton doesn’t always hold tight to the royal norms. She has broken a couple of royal rules for her children. Keeping just a part-time nanny for her three kids to not sending them to boarding schools are a few among those. She also ran a barefoot race at her kids’ school just like Princess Diana.
