The Hidden Explanation Behind Queen Elizabeth II's Unseen Pregnancy Photos

Queen Elizabeth II was never photographed while pregnant with her four children due to royal protocol and societal taboos at the time. It was considered indecent to publish photographs of pregnant women in the monarchy, so Buckingham Palace would announce that the Queen was pausing her royal duties without specifying the details until after the child was born. This practice ensured that no sneaky photographs could be taken during the later stages of pregnancy when the baby bump would become more prominent.
