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.

In that case, step down from public life, stop using your royal title to raise your own profile, go and buy a house somewhere and then they won't have to stick to royal protocol. Simples!
