Two royal babies. Two very different ways of framing the births...

Princess Eugenie's new arrival - a baby boy now eleventh in line to the throne - is a welcome piece of good news at a difficult time. Eugenie announced the news with a post on Instagram and an official statement via Buckingham Palace. The resulting headlines expressed the usual levels of excitement and kind wishes. But there has also been a noticeable change in the way in which the birth of Eugenie's son and that of the Duchess of Sussex has been reported.

'While both royal women gave birth at the same location, there was one big difference in their approach - Eugenie made the location public,' the piece writes. 'Meghan and Harry desperately tried to keep the place of Archie's birth secret, and it was only revealed when they had to write it on his birth certificate.'

Let's look at the headlines. Type in 'Meghan Markle Portland' and scroll through the options. The Sun offers 'Inside "Meghan Markle’s £20k maternity ward" at Portland Hospital.' The Express writes: 'Meghan Markle was taken to £15k hospital: Why was Portland Hospital dash kept BIG SECRET?' The Mirror wrote: 'Inside Meghan Markle's luxury "£20k labour ward" that serves champagne and lobster.

So, why was Meghan's venue of such interest? Naturally, since Harry is higher up the line of succession than Eugenie, the public appetite for detail is greater. An increased glare seems vaguely reasonable: we have been raised to care about Harry more than we care about Eugenie because he is the son of the future king.
