LONDON:
When Prince William and his wife Kate emerge from hospital cradling Britain’s new royal baby for the cameras, the picture will be on the front of newspapers worldwide. But don’t expect many photographs after that.
The second in line to the throne and his wife have fought hard for the right to bring up their family in private, despite being one of the most famous couples in the world.
Their first child, Prince George, is approaching his second birthday but has only appeared in public a few times — outside the hospital when he was born in 2013, at his christening and on a tour of Australia and New Zealand last year.
The media are generally prepared to accept such scarce appearances by George and the new baby expected this month.
