The Most Memorable Royal Pregnancy Announcements

Now, as far as royal pregnancy announcements go, they're certainly all memorable, including Queen Elizabeth II's first pregnancy announcement with King Charles III. She was the queen, so of course, in hindsight, her first pregnancy was something to talk about. However, the announcement wasn't exactly exciting.

In fact, there wasn't really much of an announcement at all. The queen and Prince Philip were extremely vague regarding the pregnancy, which came about a year after their wedding.

At the time of her pregnancy, before being given her title as queen, Buckingham Palace released the following statement, according to a 1948 article in Life Magazine. "Her Royal Highness, Princess Elizabeth, Duchess of Edinburgh, will undertake no public engagements after the end of June." That's it -- that's the pregnancy announcement. No pomp and circumstance or cute pregnancy photos.

Her other pregnancy announcements were also similar in nature ... very hush-hush.

Obviously, royal pregnancy announcements have changed drastically since then.
