His Majesty Must Obey – Discover The British Monarchy’s Rules For King Charles
A Baby’s First Official Unveiling Must Occur After Their Christening
Another longstanding rule that members of the British royal family follow is keeping the gender of a new child secret until after the christening. First, the monarch hears of the birth; then, the palace posts an official statement to designated websites and media outlets.
Following a public announcement of the baby’s name, the christening ceremony is a few months later. So the official unveiling will only occur after this last step, and the public will see the baby’s pictures.
