It’s been a bit dry lately on the royal baby news front, hasn’t it?
Since The Duke and Duchess of Sussex Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced they’re expecting their first child during their royal tour of Australia in October, 2018, we haven’t heard much more about the royal baby.
This leaves us with much time before the reported March/April due date to speculate as to all the details of the Duchess’ pregnancy.
Where and when? Boy or girl? Water bath birth or epidural? So many details to consider.
The most obvious question being asked after it was confirmed Prince Harry and Meghan will be moving out of London’s Kensington Palace and into Frogmore Cottage in Windsor is, where will Meghan give birth?

There’s been speculation the 37-year-old won’t be welcoming her first child in the Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital in London like her sister-in-law the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton did with all three of her children.
One option that semi fits in with Meghan’s super health and wellness conscious lifestyle is a home birth. If this were to happen, it’d likely take place at the royal couple’s new residence, Frogmore Cottage.
A second, and more likely, option would see Meghan and Harry rushing to a hospital closer to their new digs in Windsor. As pointed out by Vanity Fair and Daily Mail, Frimley Park Hospital fits the bill.

"Wherever Prince Harry and Meghan decide to welcome their baby, the fact they have the option to do it at all is thanks to Princess Diana. If not for Princess Diana insisting on having her first baby in hospital rather than at home, who knows if working royals would still be giving birth in their royal residences?"
Nope. Peter Phillips was born at St Mary's in 1977, and Zara Phillips in 1981. Diana didn't set any trend.
Prince Edward is the Queen’s third son, not her second. Charles, then Andrew, then Edward.
