THE Queen is said to hate the word ‘pregnant’ - because she thinks it’s too vulgar and doesn’t like it being used around her.

The monarch instead prefers people to refer to women who are expecting as being ‘in the family way’ - and that’s how she describes anyone who’s pregnant.

The old-fashioned saying was common a few decades ago, but has since fallen out of use.

But the Queen, 94, still favours some traditional aspects of life, and so continues to use the phrase. 

The Queen’s dislike of the word pregnant was revealed by Us Weekly, who quoted a palace source saying she finds the term ‘vulgar’.

It’s not the only royal rules surrounding babies, as there’s a specific process to follow whenever there’s a royal birth.

Before social media, births were announced at the gates of Buckingham Palace, when a royal aide would rush from the hospital - under police escort - to the palace with a note. 

After the Queen and senior members of the royal family were notified, an ornate easel would be placed in the ground, revealing the time of birth, and gender of the baby.

The wording is very specific, and states that all new mothers “are safely delivered of” their sons or daughters.

When Kate Middleton, The Duchess of Cambridge, gave birth to Prince George in 2013, the notice was quickly put up at the palace. 

It said: “Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge was safely delivered of a son at 1101 hrs. The baby weighs 8lbs 7oz. 

"The Duke of Cambridge was present for the birth. Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well.”
