The news of a baby makes people think about how they will raise their child. For instance, you probably kept some of the same rules your parents made you follow. Nevertheless, you might also establish new ones depending on the changes going on in the world. However, bringing a new baby into the world doesn’t stop with names and rules. This can be double (or more) for the royal family.
While some traditions you might decide to bring into your family’s home, others are passed down from generation to generation. It’s something that every family does, including the royal family. However, many of the baby traditions the royal family follows are ones that you had no idea even existed – until now. Check out these unique traditions right here.

35. Gender Isn’t Announced
One of the first questions most couples have when they hear they’re going to have a baby is when they will find out the gender. For many people, the announcement of gender has become a big celebration. You may have waited to hear the gender announcement in the past while waiting for William and Kate’s baby but never heard until the baby arrived.
While most thought this was because they decided not to find out the gender until the baby’s big arrival, it’s really because, as royals, they aren’t allowed to announce the gender. It’s a tradition for the royal family that continued, even after sonograms became popular during the mid-1900s. Of course, this all changed when Harry and Meghan announced they were having a baby girl after moving to Los Angeles and backing away from royal duties.
