The Queen Giving Birth in 1964, 'ROYAL BLOOD' Birth Undisturbed Part 5 (Contains Birth FX)

In Part 5 of Birth Undisturbed, we meet one of the most recognised figures in the world today, Queen Elizabeth II, all whose children were born at home. The Queen quietly broke more than one major Royal birthing tradition, making her last birth in 1964 unique. Historically for any birth of any potential heir to the throne, the room would be crowded with spectators which nearly crushed Marie Antoinette to death in 1778. The Queen was the first to bring all observation to an end with the birth of Prince Charles in 1948. For her last child Prince Edward in 1964, she also chose to forego the drugs of her first 3 births, and have husband Prince Philip by her side in the room familiar to her, the Belgian Suite of Buckingham Palace. The image poses a timely question. In April 2018 a third Royal baby is expected, and rumour has circulated that Prince William and Kate Middleton are strongly considering a Palace homebirth that would restore the tradition after half a century. *Features content (news and blog articles, YouTube, TV) each credited to original source.
