The Duke of Edinburgh keeps some perspective

While Meghan and Harry prepare for the arrival of Baby Sussex the Duke’s grandad is keeping things relaxed.

The Duke of Edinburgh was spotted heading out on a carriage ride in the grounds of Windsor Castle this morning, presumably satisfying a need for speed in a way he hasn’t been able to since his now infamous car crash.

How long will we have to wait for Baby Sussex?
The Duchess of Sussex can expect to spend around 12 to 18 hours in active labour, according to an antenatal expert.

On average, first babies take between a day to a day-and-a-half to arrive, but some come much quicker or take even longer.

As if giving birth wasn't tricky enough...
If giving birth wasn’t difficult enough already, bare in mind the numerous royal traditions Meghan has to adhere to.

For example, the Queen has to be the first to know.

When any child is born in the royal family, the Queen must be the first to know before the official announcement.

It’s reported that Prince William rang his grandmother on an encrypted phone when Prince George was born.

This means that rather than calling their parents or best pals first, Prince Harry will have to get on the phone to his nan immediately.

How it will be announced

While most of the prenatal news is delivered electronically, Baby Sussex’s arrival will be announced to the public the old fashion way.

Town crier Tony Appleton, who announced the birth of Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis after the Kate gave birth, will announce the news.

While he won’t be able to announce the birth outside the hospital as normal, chances are he will announce it somewhere...

If he does, he’ll be dressed in full uniform and ringing his bell.

It’s a medieval tradition which began because people couldn’t read or write.
