Between 1948 and 1964, Queen Elizabeth II became pregnant four times. She gave birth to King Charles III, Princess Anne, and Princes Andrew and Edward. Know that all of Elizabeth’s pregnancies were never announced, nor exposed to the public as they are done today.

In 1948, according to The New York Times, the palace issued the following statement: “Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth will not be making public engagements after the end of June.” Five months later, she gave birth to Charles, now King.

It was said that the queen herself considered the word pregnancy “vulgar” at the time. Instead, she asked people to refer to pregnant women as saying they were “in the family way.”
