Over the years, we’ve seen a range of royal pregnancy announcements, from formal to very personal.

One thing is for sure, the way royal pregnancies are announced has changed drastically over time.

With the changes in media and the way the public receives the latest news, we aren’t surprised.

Regardless of how the news is delivered, a royal pregnancy announcement is always exciting to the public.

However, the announcement wasn’t exactly exciting.

In fact, there wasn’t really much of an announcement at all.

That’s it that’s the pregnancy announcement.

No pomp and circumstance or cute pregnancy photos.

Her other pregnancy announcements were also similar in nature … very hush-hush.

Obviously, royal pregnancy announcements have changed drastically since then.

People surely suspected the queen was done having children altogether, not knowing she would have two more children.

The pregnancy with Andrew was also exciting because this was Elizabeth’s first pregnancy as Queen of England.

The nature of the announcement is, again, not extremely notable.

However, with this pregnancy, at least the public got afamily photoof the royals following the announcement.

Prince Philip’s reaction to the announcement, though, was a little lackluster.

“People want their first child very much.

They want the second almost as much …

The announcement came only a few months after the couple’s wedding in July.

This pregnancy was also a big deal because it would impact the order of the royal succession.

William was born on June 21, 1982.

That’s a given everyone loves a royal pregnancy announcement!

Since then, William and Catherine have had two more children, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

The photo is undoubtedly the most personal and special royal announcement we’ve seen to date.

The announcement from the married couple came a little over two years after their wedding.

Their second pregnancy with their daughter Lena came in 2018.

Their third pregnancy announcement was definitely the most unique.
