Prince Harry and Meghan will not release baby Archie's birth certificate for privacy reasons

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have chosen to keep the birth certificate of their first child private and will not release the document publicly.

The certificate will be submitted to a local registrar, as per normal practice, but will not be made available by the palace, reports The Telegraph.

The certificate would list where Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was born, putting an end to speculation about whether Meghan had her much-desired home birth or whether she was taken to hospital.

It would also reveal the doctors who delivered the seventh-in-line to the British throne.

But in a move in line with Prince Harry and Meghan's views on privacy the document will be kept out of historic record.

'My son was asked to sit out NAPLAN'

My son with autism has successfully completed NAPLAN previously when he was in Year 3.

He was in an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) support unit at the time so they put measures in place for all their students - extra time, a quiet environment, the ability to complete it online and verbal explanations of all tasks.

He did really well in everything except language, and I was so very proud.

This year he is in Year 5 so is facing NAPLAN again, but this time he is in a mainstream class at a mainstream school.

So far, our experience at the school has been amazing. They can't do enough to support my little boy.

But about a month ago, ahead of NAPLAN, I was contacted and asked if I wanted him to sit out the exam.
