William and Kate currently have the help of a nanny, Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo, among others.

William is also expected to take paternity leave to bond with the newborn and help Kate, as he did after the births of George and Charlotte.

Maternal care in the U.K. is also different from that in the U.S., according to Ashton.

“They put a lot of the focus on the mom, where we put a lot of the focus on the baby,” she said. “There is incredible support and it is standardized care. So they do it the same exact way, like a military submarine, every single time.”

There is dedicated support for women, after birth.

“They use midwives over 50 percent of the time so the mother is really supported,\" Ashton added, \"not just during pregnancy and delivery, but postpartum.”
