Catherine, Princess of Wales, is renowned for her steadfast commitment to upholding royal protocols, particularly when it comes to maintaining confidentiality.
Kate Middleton's adherence to royal protocol extends to matters of her health, as well as significant events like childbirth.
During her pregnancies, Kate faced the challenge of hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of morning sickness that required hospitalization. Despite her struggles, she abided by strict royal protocols that dictated discretion, even withholding the news from her own mother until specific protocols were followed.
One such protocol mandates that the birth of a future monarch must be kept secret until the current monarch, in this case, Queen Elizabeth II, is informed. As detailed in a report by OK! magazine, Prince William adhered to this protocol by informing his grandmother about the birth of their first child, Prince George, before sharing the news with the public.
After receiving the necessary clearance, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge presented their newborn son to the world in a carefully orchestrated photocall, marking the official introduction of the future King to the public eye.
Kate's unwavering commitment to upholding these protocols underscores her dedication to her role within the royal family and the traditions that accompany it.
