Most parents aren't stalked by paparazzi. Of course its part and parcel of marrying Harry, that part I agree with, but that doesn't mean they have to open up every minute of their private lives to the public.

It may well be tradition for Royals to be photographed within minutes of getting their stitches but..that doesn't mean someone can't buck the trend, or even totally change tradition..I imagine now that one couple have done it, more will in future now they know its an option.

I don't really get what difference it makes between them announcing it the hour it happens, or saying a few days later 'we had X at 4.56am on 2 May, happy and healthy' or something. Fairly sure they will have told family, if its happened.
