Meghan breaks from royal tradition ‘by hiring own birthing team’

The Duchess of Sussex has appointed her own delivery team to oversee the birth of her first child, it has been claimed.

In a break from royal tradition, Meghan has reportedly opted not to use Royal House gynaecologists because she does not want "men in suits" supervising her birth.

According to The Mail on Sunday, the 37-year-old duchess has appointed an "unnamed female doctor" to lead the team instead of Alan Farthing and Guy Thorpe-Beeston.

The two gynaecologists attended the arrival of all three of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's children.

It is understood there will definitely be a role for the Queen's doctors in the birth, but it might not be a prominent one.
