UNLOCKING THE MYSTERY
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.
According to Haper’s Bazaar, instead of officially saying that the then-princess was pregnant, Buckingham Palace simply communicated that she would “interrupt her royal duties for a short time”.

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. At that time, Elizabeth is also not photographed with her newborn children. Babies were simply introduced a week after birth.
But what would be the reason for all this? According to publications that have speculated on the subject for years, at that time, pregnancy was considered taboo. 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.”
