Kensington Palace issues rare comment over Meghan and Harry's baby

Kensington Palace have issued a rare comment about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal baby.

Reports claim that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex plan to raise their baby in a “gender fluid” manner.

The initial claim was made by royal author Katie Nicholl, who revealed Harry and Meghan plan to not impose gender stereotypes on their bub.

Nicholl wrote in Vanity Fair that a royal source revealed all.

“Her exact word was fluid. She said they plan to raise their child with a fluid approach to gender and they won’t be imposing any stereotypes.”

Nicholl added: “Exactly what the Duchess might have meant when using the word 'fluid' is unclear, and there are multiple possible interpretations.”

"If things are wrong and there is a lack of justice, and there is an inequality, then someone needs to say something." - The Duchess of Sussex has become Vice-President of The @Queens_Commonwealth_Trust, of which Her Majesty The Queen is Patron, and The Duke of Sussex is President. In her new role, The Duchess will highlight the Trust's partnerships with young people across the Commonwealth, and in particular its work supporting women and girls. In celebration of International Women's Day, Her Royal Highness joined a special panel discussion of female thought-leaders and activists convened by The Queen's Commonwealth Trust, to discuss a range of issues affecting women today. #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2019 #QCT #QCTxIWD

Kensington Palace have since rubbished reports, with a press spokesperson saying: “This story is totally false”.

On New Idea’s Royals podcast, royal correspondent Angela Mollard shared her thoughts on the Palace’s denial.

“Interestingly, the Palace made a rare decision to come out and say this was ‘totally false’.

“[It is] interesting that they chose to do this.”

Her Host Rebecca Hyde agreed: “They rarely comment.”

Mollard added: “They don’t want controversy around the baby, they want this to be a protected thing.”

“[It is] very interesting that the Palace would come out and comment – the times they’ve commented on Meghan recently have been when Harry came out when they were first together and said  ‘leave her alone’.”

Their Royal Highnesses see more of the vibrant Moroccan culture - joining a cooking demonstration with Chef Moha and children, who were cooking traditional dishes. Many of the children are from underprivileged backgrounds, and are part of a scheme to help open up the restaurant industry to young people. Children were also making Cherine Mallah's Moroccan Pancakes from 'Together: Our Community Cookbook' - the charity cookbook, supported by The Duchess, which celebrates the power of cooking to bring communities together. #RoyalVisitMorocco #CookTogether. 📷image 2 PA / image 1 +3 @kensingtonroyal

Prince Harry issued a statement during the very early days of his relationship with Meghan that said:"Prince Harry is worried about Ms Markle’s safety."

Mollard continued: “Then secondly when Thomas Markle Snr announced that he wouldn’t be coming to the wedding and they put out the comment that ‘Meghan has always cared for her father'.

“So, they don’t really – only things where it’s really important to Meghan.”
