The Hospital
History has it that members of the royal family preferred giving birth at home. Did you know that Queen Elizabeth II went into labor in Buckingham Palace? Yes, all four times! Princess Diana did not follow suit when she opted to go to St. Mary’s Hospital and give birth to her sons there.
Hospital Over Home
The Duchess of Cambridge followed Princess Diana when it came to this aspect, and all three of her children were born in a hospital. Decades earlier, it was normal to give birth at home, whereas now it is much more common even for the rich and famous to go to hospitals.
