Why Meghan Markle, Prince Harry’s Baby’s Photocall Was Better Than Prince William, Kate Middleton

The birth of a royal baby is always an exciting event, but when Meghan Markle and Prince Harry gave the world a glimpse of their baby boy, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, their unique approach received more praise than Prince William and Kate Middleton’s past baby photocalls.

Although Meghan and Harry’s decision to hold some details about Archie from the public upon his birth received some backlash, when the newborn finally made his public debut, most people were pleased with the result.

During a chat with Yahoo’s The Royal Box, Royal Biographer Andrew Morton revealed the couple’s decision to skip the traditional baby photo call outside of the hospital, made Meghan and Harry appear “more regal.”

“It played out very well. They controlled the narrative, they controlled the photocall. We’ve had far more pictures than we would have had if it had just been outside of the hospital because we’ve had that lovely picture of the Queen and Doria Ragland,” he explained.

Morton revealed the photos depicted a modern monarchy and blended family. “In a funny kind of way, it’s been kind of more regal than previous photo calls,” the biographer said.

While William and Kate’s past photo calls have only allowed the press to capture pictures of the couple outside of the hospital following their children’s births, Harry and Meghan’s photos appear to be more sentimental.

"The backdrop of St. George’s Hall in Windsor, where they did the photocall, but we’ve seen images release on Instagram – the favored channel of communication of Harry and Meghan,” Morton stated.

“We also had that groundbreaking photo of the Queen with Meghan’s mother - really, a celebration of this new multiethnic Royal Family. This is about a new age of social media engagement.”

Meghan and Prince Harry continue to use their social media pages to appeal to fans and on Sunday, the couple shared never before seen pictures in celebration of their one year wedding anniversary.
