The Royal Baby watch is starting to pick up once again, as Kate Middleton goes through the final stretch of her pregnancy with her second child with Prince William.
Reports claim that the new royal baby will arrive on April 25 at St. Mary's Hospital in London, where her first child Prince George was also born back in 2013. However, there are reports claiming that the Duchess of Cambridge may give birth outside of London. According to Mirror UK, the pregnant royal is currently staying with her parents in their estate in Bucklebury, England.
Does this mean that she wants her child to be the first royal family member to be born outside London in 85 years?
The Daily Mail reported that both the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading and Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn, Norfolk have been put on stand-by in case the 33-year-old duchess goes into labor near the areas.
Since Kate is currently visiting her parents' home, she is only 12 miles away from the Reading hospital. Still, she can choose to stay in the Anmer Hall country home in Norfolk that she shares with her husband, which is near the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Kate can also choose to return to Kensington Palace before she gives birth, which is just a couple of miles away from St. Mary's Hospital.
Aside from the location where the duchess will give birth to her second child, there are rumors claiming that Prince William may not be by her side when she goes into labor. The Express UK reported that the Duke of Cambridge may be in the middle of a royal duty if their baby arrives on Saturday.
Based on the report, Prince William will be accompanying his grandparents, Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh, to commemorate the 100th year of the ill-fated Gallipolo landings in Turkey at the Cenotaph in London on Saturday.
