With the Duchess of Sussex just mere weeks away from giving birth, the world is abuzz as they await any news of the impending arrival. The big question is: how will the royal couple announce the birth, and who will be the first to know?
Longstanding protocol dictates that the head of the monarchy, who is Queen Elizabeth, will be the first to be notified. According to reports, she was the first to know when Meghan fell pregnant. So too when Meghan goes into labour, she will be first to be given the news.
The British couple have also now launched their own official Instagram account. Unveiling their own profile on the photo sharing app, @sussexroyal already received over 200 000 followers within the first hour.
