Gen -Z -parents who have lived their adult lives on social media, seem to be driving the new etiquette to follow a more secret approach when it comes to sharing 'Welcome to the World' photos -and it is one Trend followed by celebrity and non-famous parents.
You see just as likely a photo of a newborn on the social media of a friend with their faces darkened because you are a clamp of a royal arrival, or the back of their heads when they grow up.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, while previously published photos of the faces of their two young children, have archie, Five and Lilibet, three, more preferred to more hidden photos, which they showed instead of behind.

Because influencers and internet stars have their own children, the content they share online often often contains the ups and downs of their family life, sometimes called 'Sharenthood'.
