What’s mysteriously missing from the official royal baby announcement

And why! - by Milly Haddrick
  • 07 May 2019

It's official! 

Following the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's announcing on their Instagram page that they had given birth to a baby boy, a framed notice of the birth was placed on a gold ceremonial easel outside Buckingham Palace - with some key things missing! 

As with the birth of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's three children, a framed bulletin was placed for fans to view outside Buckingham Palace. 

Whilst Meghan and Harry took a considerably millennial approach to their baby announcement - by posting it on social media - it is customary with all royal births to announce the news on an ornate golden easel outside the Queen's residence.

Whilst the presence of the framed announcement seemed normal, eagle-eyed fans have noticed that unlike with Wills and Kate's baby announcements, Baby Sussex announcement was missing signature's from doctors...curious no?

A notice of birth has gone on display on the forecourt of Buckingham Palace following the birth of The Duke and Duchess of Sussexes' son. It is tradition that this goes on display on a ceremonial easel for members of the public to view for approximately 24 hours. @sussexroyal

Baby Sussex is yet to be given a name, as it is custom to wait for the Queen to be informed of the name by the parents before announcing it to the public.
