Meghan Markle and Prince Harry want their child(ren) to enjoy the simple life!
The expectant parents have apparently grown tired of the spotlight as they gear up for the birth of their first child, and “are very keen to live their lives quietly” as they continue to grow their family, according to an Us Weekly source.
Observers note that the Suits alum already appears to be breaking from royal tradition in the weeks leading up to the birth of the royal baby. Earlier this year, it was reported that Meg was not planning on giving birth at the private Lindo Wing of St. Mary’s Hospital in London — where Princess Anne, Princess Diana, and Kate MIddleton have given birth to all their children.

Insiders say the couple will probably choose a hospital closer to their new country home of Frogmore Cottage — perhaps the Frimley Park Hospital in Surrey, where Sophie, Countess of Wessex, had her two children.
But Meg and Harry’s personal Brexit — we’ll call it a Meg-xit — isn’t stopping there. The Us source claims that they don’t even plan on giving their baby an official royal title, adding:
“They’ll live a quiet life.”
Wow. Sounds like they’re over that royal life for good!
The new claims aren’t very surprising, seeing as Meg has been struggling with the archaic demands and traditions that her in-laws have upheld for centuries over the past few months.
Back in February, the 37-year-old was said to have gotten heat from her hubby’s side of the family just because she wanted to throw herself a baby shower in New York City. A source told Us at the time:
“Meghan is still struggling with the press in London. She was made aware that Kensington Palace and the royal family, that’s not the way they do it with a big, flashy baby shower like the one she had in NYC.”
On top of that, the Duchess of Sussex has reportedly had issues with following other royal rules, like what pants she’s allowed to wear and being vocal about her political opinions. (Let’s not forget about her rumored feud with her sister in law.)
Despite the never-ending drama, the actress is said to be focusing on “calm and positive energy around the birth,” according to a second Us source — and staying calm and positive is probably a lot easier for her knowing she’ll be able to raise her children far, far away from Kensington Palace.
Royal contributor Omid Scobie previously noted that the Duke and Duchess want to “bring up children who know the values of normal things in life,” telling the outlet:
“Meghan will take her kids on a subway. They’ll have chores, and jobs one day. They won’t be spoiled.”
It’s unclear how Harry feels about breaking from his family, but we’re sure he’s taken a “happy wife, happy life” approach.
