In centuries past, royal births were public events designed to confirm legitimacy and continuity. 👑 Marie Antoinette's first childbirth in 1778, witnessed by courtiers and officials, served to affirm the royal line's authenticity. This practice continued well into the 20th century, as seen with Queen Marie of Romania's public birth of her heir. Such traditions underscore that, historically and today, childbirth holds deep cultural significance, connecting families to time-honored customs or new rituals alike. #RoyalHistory #BirthTraditions #EmpoweredMamas
