American talk show icon, Oprah Winfrey, a close friend of the couple and guest at their wedding, recently defended their decision to keep the birth details private. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Winfrey expressed her admiration for Meghan’s strength in standing up for her beliefs. “To be able to stand up and say this is what I really want for my baby and my family and I’m going to do it a different way when it’s been done that way for a thousand years – I’m just so proud of her,” she stated.
This decision breaks with royal tradition, as both Kate Middleton and Princess Diana participated in the customary photo call shortly after the births of their children. However, Meghan and Harry’s choice resonates with many who support their desire for a more private and modern approach to royal life.
