Princess Beatrice‘s pal Alice Naylor-Leyland leaves friends surprised after announcing that she and her husband have had a child using a surrogate mother.
What She Said
She said in her announcement, ‘I’m aware it was greedy to have this burning desire to complete our family.
‘But due to too many complications, setbacks, miscarriages and then being told I was no longer able to carry, we decided to venture down the world of surrogacy.’
Sharing a photograph online of the newborn baby‘s foot with a pink tag, Alice, 38, thanks the unnamed surrogate mother.
‘Without the kindness and courage of our dear surrogate and the brilliance of modern science using our own embryo, we would not be here.
‘While commercial surrogacy is commonplace in the USA, it is only legal in Britain if the mother is not paid, barring ‘reasonable’ expenses.
Alice, 38, adds: ‘It’s been a bonkers journey but now we’ve arrived, I can’t wait to enjoy every minute.’

What is your opinion on surrogacy?!
Earlier this month, the Vatican declared that surrogacy was a ‘grave threat’ to human dignity and explains the decree put it on par with abortion and euthanasia as practices that violate God’s plan for human life.
