Princess Eugenie under pressure for baby photo

Queen granddaughter Princess Eugenie, 30, and her husband Jack Brooksbank, 34, became parents for the first time on February 9th. They introduced their son, whose name is still a secret, to the public on Instagram. Eugenie also posted a black and white photo on her account showing the baby's hand. The five little fingers are held in the hands of the princess and her husband. A photo that can be found in abundance on social networks. Especially celebrities who want to protect their child's privacy use this "photo light" method. Such a presentation is unusual for a royal. Phil Dampier, who has written a number of books about the royal family, is therefore critical of the picture.

Print for female royals after childbirth

What is inconceivable for many women is a reality for high-ranking female members of the British royal family: when they become mothers, the public expects photos of the newborn. The pictures then go around the world from England. But why is that so? Well, the British support the royal family with taxpayers money for official expenses. Sometimes the boundaries are blurred: If a royal marries and the police have to be called in, this too is paid for out of taxpayers' money. In return, the people expect to be able to participate in certain milestones in the life of the royals.

Request to Princess Eugenie

Speaking to The Telegraph, Royal expert Phil Dampier said: "Eugenie had a pretty lavish wedding, so the public probably has the right to see real pictures of her baby instead of an Instagram picture of her fingers. It's difficult to find one Finding a balance when a royal couple is looking for both publicity and privacy. "

Whether Princess Eugenie will give in to public pressure and still show a "real" photo of her baby – wait and see.
