Watch the full documentary on CBC Gem now.
Prince Harry ripped up the royal rule book by marrying Meghan Markle – and it wasn't long before the media speculated when news of a new royal baby would be announced. Now the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have welcomed their first child.
Secrets of the Royal Babies tells the extraordinary tales of royal births, motherhood and infancy that have paved the way to this day and asks what Meghan and Harry might expect from this next stage of their lives.
Featuring interviews with historians, royal experts and insiders, the documentary explores unusual royal birthing traditions, how to cope with the domestic politics of life with a royal nanny and to how to juggle mothering with royal duties.
Secrets of the Royal Babies visits the Norland College nanny school in Bath, which is the go-to place for royal childcare, and Glamis Castle in Scotland, where young Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret could escape the glare of the media and formality of the Royal Court. The documentary also asks how Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex can learn from royal mothers before her - from Queen Victoria through to Princess Diana and the most recent royal mom, the Duchess of Cambridge.
