The Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared a beautiful snippet of their pregnancy with the public.

Traditionally, the due date and gender of a royal baby are shielded from the public until the day they are born.

The same privacy rules apply to sharing ultrasound images,Prince Harry and Meghan broadcast their sonogram with the world via their Netflix docuseries.

In episode four of the six-part chronicle following the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s complex royal journey, an ultrasound scan image captured during Meghan’s pregnancy.

The reason why the royal family prefers to keep their baby scans private has never been explicitly revealed by Buckingham Palace, though it does fall in line with the palace’s general privacy rules surrounding personal medical information.
