Why Meghan Markle probably won’t give birth in the same hospital as Kate

Her time as a member of the royal family has been defined by her willingness to break tradition, and it looks like Meghan Markle isn't about to change that.

The Duchess of Sussex is believed to be in the third trimester of her pregnancy and fans are eager for any details about the newest royal arrival. All we know for sure is that the baby is due in the spring - but it's thought that Meghan and Prince Harry may not be following in Prince William and Kate Middleton's footsteps when it comes to their choice of maternity hospital. Kate gave birth to each of her three kids in the exclusive Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital in London. William and Harry were born there themselves but Meghan is likely to choose deliver somewhere outside of the capital altogether. Hello! reports that she could opt for Frimley Park Hospital in Surrey. With their move to Windsor, it'll be a lot easier for the couple to get to than central London when Meghan goes into labour. The hospital's maternity unit has also hosted royal births in the past. Prince Edward (Harry's uncle) and his wife Countess Sophie welcomed their children Lady Louise Windsor (15) and James, Viscount Severn (11) there. Nothing is set in stone, though - it was reported in November that Meghan has also been considering a home birth.
