Meghan Markle and Prince Harry welcomed a royal baby boy into the family on May 5.
In doing so, the couple has broken royal tradition - they skipped the Lindo Wing photo-op, in which they would have posed outside of the hospital after the baby's birth. Instead, they celebrated privately and introduced him two days later in a photo-op at Windsor Castle.
But that's not surprising, considering that Harry and Meghan have continuously broken royal protocol since their dating days. Like other millennials, they're changing the way marriage looks compared to previous generations - they're just doing it in a more high-profile way that influences the monarchy.
Millennials are waiting longer to get married, INSIDER's Kim Renfro reported - Harry and Meghan were 33 and 36, respectively, when they wed. But by adding untraditional elements to their wedding and displaying affection in public, among other protocol-breaking actions, they've have taken things a few steps further.
Below, see how the royal couple has broken royal traditions.
