This is how Meghan will give birth

Exciting. In a month or two at the latest, the new little prince or princess will be born. Meghan has already revealed that she is due in April, and well, that's just how it is almost now.

We are optimistic, aren't we, at the beginning of February. But the fact remains that the baby won't be in the belly for much longer. And so Meghan will go into labor:

Whether it will be a boy or a girl is still a big secret. Whether they know it themselves is also a surprise. Meghan may not give birth in the same hospital as her sister-in-law Kate. Kate has given birth three times in her own wing at St. Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, but Meghan wants to go for Frimley Park Hospital, as it is a bit closer to where they live. But she could still switch if she wants to and go for the hospital that is already known to the royals. The staff at both private hospitals have been advised not to take time off early April. So it is certain that she will choose one of those two.

And what she is also considering doing is enlisting the help of a doula – a kind of coach who guides you through your labor breathing and talking. They not only give you practical advice but also help you with the emotional load that comes up. Meghan is quite fond of yoga and mindfulness, so that's why she thinks she will have a lot of support here at this most exciting moment in her life.

Well, and then that much-discussed name. Victoria is the favorite if it's a girl and James for a boy. However, Diana is often mentioned for a girl as well – a tribute to her late grandmother. Other options for girls are Grace or Alice. For boys, Frederik, Philip, and Arthur are also suggested. It seems that our lovely Meg is not having twins, because, as British media report: Kensington Palace would have really announced that on the day they said Meghan was pregnant. They wouldn't have kept it a secret if it were twins, because that's not necessary according to protocol, so it is almost certain that she is not giving birth to two babies at the same time. But you never know for sure, of course. What is arranged is that Meghan's mother, Doria, is nearby when her first grandchild is born.

And then when the little prince or princess is finally here... Well, then the official photo moment inevitably follows. Poor Kate had to pose outside the hospital just a day after giving birth – in quite a chic outfit. Heels are just not necessary yet, but whether you feel like styling your hair and putting on makeup after just giving birth... Meghan and Harry will also show their baby to the outside world fairly quickly after the birth. The press must wait outside, they absolutely cannot come into the hospital to take photos. Just imagine having such paparazzi at your bedside... And when will the Queen meet the baby? Arrangements have also been made about that. The queen will probably come for a visit within a day or two. This will be her eighth great-grandchild.

And then that title. Harry and Meghan are the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. But only a man can pass these titles from man to man, so if they have a daughter, the girl will be called ‘Lady’, and not ‘Duchess’. It's quite a hassle, giving birth as a royal. But yes, you are ultimately bringing a British heir to the throne into the world, so it makes sense that the whole world is following along. And that there are a lot of rules. Anyway... Go for it, Meghan.
