Baby Sussex won’t be just like any other kid in the royal family. As Prince Harry and Meghan Markle prepare for the royal baby’s coming, the couple has revealed that they plan to give Baby Sussex a legitimate shot at living a normal life. Here are five ways Prince Harry and Meghan Markle plan to raise Baby Sussex differently from their royal cousins.

1. Prince Harry and Meghan will shield Baby Sussex from all the media attention

Unlike Kate Middleton and Prince William’s children, who have grown up accustomed to paparazzi, Prince Harry and Meghan want their child to escape the goldfish bowl of royal life. In fact, after Meghan gives birth, their small family will move to Windsor Castle’s Frogmore Cottage to raise their child. Located about 25 miles outside of London and standing on 35 acres of secluded land, the cottage offers an idyllic setting for Baby Sussex to grow up in a normal environment, away from the public eye.

2. The royal couple will not impose any stereotypes when it comes to Baby Sussex’s gender

With Meghan’s due date just around the corner, the royal couple has already set up a nursery for Baby Sussex at the Frogmore cottage. Interestingly, they have arranged everything in gender-neutral shades. According to a source, the couple wants to raise their child with a fluid approach to gender. This kind of upbringing is a far cry from Prince William and Kate’s children, whose lives are governed by royalty-approved choices.

3. Prince Harry and Meghan intend to forego the traditional nanny

While Prince William and Kate turned to a nanny after giving birth to Prince George, Prince Harry and Meghan intend to skip professional help when Baby Sussex arrives. Instead, they will turn to Meghan’s mom, Doria Ragland, for help. The royal couple wants Doria, who is a social worker, to be on hand in helping them with Baby Sussex. In fact, they have already included a bedroom for her in their renovation plans.

4. Baby Sussex won’t have a royal title

Unlike 5-year-old Prince George, 3-year-old Princess Charlotte and 11-month-old Prince Louis, Baby Sussex won’t have a royal title and will therefore not be in line for the royal throne. Baby Sussex will be more like cousin Zara Tindall, who has all the freedom to follow her own pursuits without being bound by all those royal protocols.

5. Prince Harry and Meghan want a school that’s far less British for Baby Sussex

The royal couple has agreed that they want a more diverse education for their child. This means that Baby Sussex will attend a school that offers an American curriculum. This is because Meghan, who was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, wants their child to be fully aware of the American heritage.
