A newborn baby in Cairo, Egypt, has captured the attention of millions across social media platforms after being photographed in an remarkably relaxed and unique posture shortly after birth.
The infant was captured lying calmly on a hospital surface with both hands placed behind his head and his right leg crossed over his left. The unusually unbothered posture led observers to comment that the child looked as though he was lounging on a palace throne rather than in a clinic setting.
Dr. Islam Eldeh, a prominent Egyptian pediatrician, shared the photographs and video of the newborn from his clinic. Touched by the baby’s calm demeanor, Dr. Eldeh dubbed the comfortable posture as the “royal pose.”
The video quickly went viral following its upload, drawing millions of views and amused comments from internet users around the world. Many commentators jokingly noted that the infant’s comfortable and carefree position reflects an innate royal personality from birth.
