SECRETS OF THE ROYAL BABIES: MEGHAN AND HARRY, 9PM, ITV

‘ROYALS are only private in the womb,’ observed a governess of our current Queen, and it’s even more true in the era of the Duchess of Sussex’s unborn baby — as the mere existence of this programme makes clear. It imagines how Meghan and Harry might choose to raise their baby, and wonders if William might offer his younger brother any words of parenting advice. Inevitably, there’s a lot of speculation, but it also places such topics as Meghan’s potential holistic birth in context. Queen Victoria gave birth to two of her children using chloroform as pain relief, a controversial decision that blazed a trail for women.
