What an incredibly special surprise the grassroots led #globalsussexbabyshower was last Sunday! The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are immensely grateful for the outpouring of love and support in anticipation of the birth of their first child. In lieu of sending gifts, the couple have long planned to encourage members of the public to make donations to select charities for children and parents in need. If you already made a donation, the couple send you their greatest thanks. If you are thinking about it, they ask that you kindly consider the following organisations they’ve selected, which we will highlight here over the next few days: @thelunchboxfund @littlevillagehq @wellchild @baby2baby The Duke and Duchess remain appreciative for your warm wishes and kindness during this especially happy time in their lives! Thank you for sharing the love ❤️

Breaking from royal tradition

When Harry’s sister-in-law Kate Middleton gave birth she posed just hours afterwards outside the private Lindo Wing at St. Mary’s Hospital in London.

However, Harry and Meghan will break with tradition and will instead host a ‘photo call’ at Windsor Castle, as they reportedly that announcing the birth straight away with pictures of the Duchess and baby was too much like a “goldfish bowl”.
