A disguised announcement was made by the Royal Palace…
In 1948, during her pregnancy, the Buckingham Palace announced: “Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth will undertake no public engagements after the end of June.” King Charles III was born on November 14, 1948.

Queen hated the word ‘pregnancy’
As per reports, the Queen considered the word ‘pregnancy’ as vulgar. Instead of using the word itself, she asked people to use it as ‘in the family way’, an old-fashioned phrase.
It was until December, the baby King Charles III was not clicked. As per The Sun, the Queen was 22 when she was pregnant with her first child. She was in labour pain for 22 hours. Citing reports, the media outlet says that Prince Philip was absent from the birth and was playing squash at the time his son arrived.
