Meghan Markle 'felt sorry' for sister-in-law Kate after she posed for photos in high heels and dress just hours after giving birth, claims friend

  • The Duchess of Sussex is expected to give birth in the next few days  
  • The 37-year-old does not want the fuss of having to wear make up and high heels
  • Prince Harry and Meghan have chosen not to use the Lindo Wing, favoured by royals 

The Duchess of Sussex is said to have 'felt sorry' for sister-in-law Kate Middleton after she posed for photos looking fresh-faced outside the Lindo Wing.

Meghan Markle is expected to give birth to her first child in the coming days and will snub the traditional photo call outside the royal's favourite maternity ward.

Friends have said this may be because the 37-year-old does not want the fuss of having to put on a show and dress up just hours after giving birth.

Speaking to The Post the source said the perfectly polished look had put Meghan off the much sought after photo shoot following the birth, especially after Kate Middleton had emerged looking immaculate following the birth of Prince Louis.

Meghan and Harry have previously released a statement informing members of the public that they would be doing things their way, when it comes to raising their first child.

It read: 'Their Royal Highnesses have taken a personal decision to keep the plans around the arrival of their baby private.

'The Duke and Duchess look forward to sharing the exciting news with everyone once they have had an opportunity to celebrate privately as a new family.'

It is thought that the couple could introduce the new arrival on their very own 'SussexRoyal' Instagram page.

The account currently has over four million followers.

According to royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams, the birth of Baby Sussex will be a global event.

Speaking to The Sun he said: 'There will be a huge demand for photos and it may well be no coincidence that they have just opened an Instagram account.

'If there is no pose outside the hospital the couple, on this most personal of occasions, will be sure to send photos to the millions awaiting them.

'It's worth remembering they are a celebrity power couple and we know how significant they are in the royal family.'

After four decades of royals using the Lindo Wing as the favoured maternity ward of choice, Meghan and Harry are set to opt out and could use a maternity unit close to their Windsor home.

Most recently, Kate used the famed maternity ward in 2018 with Prince Louis and prior to that had also given birth to Charlotte in 2015 and George in 2013.

But royal tradition goes back much further than the Duchess of Cambridge.

The Lindo Wing was also used for the birth of William in 1982 and Harry in 1984. This is while in 1977 the Princess Royal had Peter Phillips there, followed by daughter Zara in 1981.
