(Harry and Meghan - The Duke and Duchess of Sussex)
The first programme kicking off ITV
Choice's annual Royal Season this year is Harry
& Meghan: A Royal Baby Story, which will air on Wednesday, May 22 at
20h00.
The baby boy of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
(the Duke and Duchess of Sussex) was born on May 7, 2019, and is seventh in
line for the throne of England.
In this one-hour TV special, royal experts
investigate the Duke and Duchess' relationship, as well as look at how Meghan
has been handling her first pregnancy in the public eye.
Focusing heavily on Meghan's maternity
looks, the royal correspondents - including author Katie Nichol, celebrity
journalist Ashley Pearson, Emily Andrews and more - also dissect her more
controversial, glamorous and sleeker ensembles.
As the world has become obsessed with the
royal couple, it's also apparent that tabloids and media have been taking note
of everything that the mother-to-be wears, how she acts and how she compares to
Kate Middleton.
The Duchess' estranged half-sister,
Samantha Markle, also makes an appearance and discusses Meghan's new royal
lifestyle.
"I believe that there is a jealous
streak in Meg," Samantha says of the constant comparisons between Meghan
and Kate and what they wear. "She does like to be the centre of attention.
I feel like that's a part of what is happening now."
When it comes to her estranged sister
having a nanny at their new Frogmore Cottage, Samantha says, "I think she
will definitely get a nanny. Meghan is very strong-minded, and there will
definitely be a butting of heads, but Meghan could learn and grow from that. So
if the nanny is strong enough, then she won't be left in tears."
The special also touches on how Meghan and
Harry's child will most likely stray from the traditional royal children attire
that people have seen Prince George and Princess Charlotte dressed up in.
Samantha concludes her portion by
explaining that she thinks it's important that children have a bigger sense of
their family and where they come from.
"I would like to think that this child
would have access to the best parts of granddad …and get to know that side of
the Markles," she says.
ITV Choice's Royal Season continues the
following week - on Wednesday, May 29 at 20h00 - with the 60-minute documentary
Secrets of the Royal Babies.
