Traditionally, royal births were done at home and required major medical interventions. Queen Victoria gave birth while medicated with ether, and Queen Elizabeth II reportedly opted for twilight birth, but Diana broke royal tradition by choosing a hospital delivery.
In June 1982, she gave birth to Prince William at St. Mary's in London, becoming the first British royal to give birth in a hospital. Two years later, Prince Harry was born in the same hospital, as were William's children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
