Royal Birth

Buckingham Palace have announced media plans for the Duke & Duchess of Sussex’s baby. Once #Meghan is in labour, we will be told (like #kate) but the couple will keep where private & won’t be appearing “on the hospital steps” afterwards. There will be a photo op once they’re home

Although this seems very different to what has gone before, ACTUALLY the only difference is where all the media will stand (the Long Walk)! We’ll be told once #Meghan has gone into labour and then when #BabySussex is born, and there will be a picture but just not immediately!

Through most of what Emily Andrews is saying is not mentioned in the announcement itself.

Simon McCoy will be devastated.

Ita something different to biexit.

This is all excellent news... I wish them well.

What's the betting at least one newspaper openly states what any sources have told them anyway and publishes anyway. Relations between elements of the media and The Duke and Duchess are pretty poor.

You beat me to it.

So pleased we won't get the Kay Burley car-crash continuous lives from outside the Lindo Wing.

They will probably put her outside Windsor castle for days just to get more viewers in.

Private ambulance with police escort seen driving through Windsor. #justsaying

Of course for the rest of us here in pleb-land, the sight of a private ambulance is normally 'bad' news !

Oh my... Kate will be hoping Meghan doesn't give birth tonight - if she does then the baby will share Princess Charlotte's birthday!

In fact the teams covering the Local Elections Tonight/Tomorrow will be hoping this doesn't happen!
