The Duchess of Cambridge is in hospital to have her second baby. Latest reports say Catherine who is Prince William’s wife is in early stages of labour.
Kensington Palace confirmed she was admitted to the private Lindo Wing of St Mary’s hospital, west London, in the early hours of Saturday.
The Duchess and her husband, Prince William, do not know whether they are having a boy or a girl. The child will be the Queen’s fifth great-grandchild and the fourth in line to the throne.
Overseeing the birth will be a medical team led by Guy Thorpe-Beeston, surgeon-gynaecologist to the royal household. Alan Farthing, surgeon gynaecologist to the Queen, will assist. Both medics were present at the birth of the Cambridges’ first child, Prince George, in July 2013, the UK Guardian reports.
The Kensington Palace statement read: “Her royal highness the Duchess of Cambridge was admitted at 0600hrs to St Mary’s hospital, Paddington, London and is in the early stages of labour.
“The Duchess travelled by car from Kensington Palace to the Lindo Wing at St Mary’s hospital with the Duke of Cambridge.”
The birth will be announced publicly only after the Queen and other close family members have been informed. Aides are then expected to make public the sex and weight of the child, as well as the time of the birth. Details will given via official Twitter accounts before a more formal announcement is later placed on an easel outside Buckingham Palace.
There had been stories all through last week that Kate was well past her due date and may be hormonally induced.
