Duchess Kate to Attend Prince Harry’s Wedding Less Than a Month After Giving Birth
As the world eagerly awaits the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on May 19th, all eyes will be on the guests attending the ceremony.
One guest in particular, the Duchess of Cambridge, is expected to make an appearance less than a month after giving birth to her third child.
Despite being in the postpartum phase, Duchess Kate is expected to look every inch a princess at the wedding.
However, many are questioning why the wedding had to fall so close to the royal birth.
Some argue that this is just part of the obligation that comes with being a member of the royal family; putting duty before self.
However, others believe that Kate should have been given more time to recover.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle got engaged after Kate announced her pregnancy, so it begs the question, couldn't they have chosen a date in June or July instead?
According to experts, there were several considerations that went into choosing May 19th as the wedding date.
The first was concern over Prince Philip's health.
Prince Harry wanted his 96-year-old grandfather to be at his wedding, and with his retirement, the wedding had to happen quickly.
The second consideration was the eagerness of the bride and groom.
Harry and Meghan have become the white-hot centre of royal attention, and pushing the date any longer would only prolong the public's hunger for the spectacle of a royal wedding.
Finally, June was out of the question due to the Queen's official birthday celebration, which is an elaborate state occasion.
Later in the summer, she traditionally departs for Balmoral.
Some things are sacrosanct.
Despite the close timing of the wedding and the birth, experts say that Harry and William and their spouses are a team.
They would have surely discussed this before settling on a date.
There is no pressure on Kate to do anything at the wedding other than show up.
Harry and Meghan just want Kate to be able to enjoy the day and not worry about anything.
It's a kind gesture, but with two children participating in the ceremony and a baby off in the wings, a bit of worry on the part of the Duchess of Cambridge is all but guaranteed.
In conclusion, while some may question the timing of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding, it's clear that there were several factors that went into choosing May 19th as the date.
Despite the challenges, Duchess Kate is expected to attend the wedding and look every inch a princess.
It's a testament to her strength and dedication to her duty as a member of the royal family.
