Meghan Markle to shun London hospital famed for royal births: The Sun
LONDON - Meghan Markle has broken a four-decade tradition by shunning the London hospital where many royal babies, including her husband Britain's Prince Harry, were born, The Sun newspaper reported.
Meghan and Harry, who married last year, are expecting their first child this spring.
But the former actress has opted not to give birth at the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital, favoured by British royalty since 1977, the newspaper said, citing an unidentified source.
Princess Diana gave birth to Harry at St Mary's in 1984 and Kate, the wife of Harry's elder brother William, gave birth to all three of her children, George, Charlotte and Louis, there.
Meghan, 37, has opted for a maternity hospital closer to their new home in the ancient town of Windsor, The Sun said under the headline "Meghan snubs Kate & Di hospital."
"The child will not be born at the Lindo," the newspaper quoted the source as saying.
