Kate Middleton baby due date nears: baby daughter or son to arrive on April 25

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, as well as the world, are getting ready to meet royal baby no. 2. Kate Middleton is rumored to be giving birth by April 25. 

The duchess announced in the past months that Prince George's little sibling will be coming out sometime between mid- and late April. The royal couple were told that April 25 will be the day, according to The Independent

With less than a month away until the said due date, the 33-year-old mom has started her maternity leave and is getting ready for the arrival of the palace's new bundle of joy. According to the report, it is likely that she will give birth at St. Mary's Hospital in London once again, which is the same hospital Prince George was born in. 

Knowing that she will soon be a mother of two, the duchess has reportedly enlisted the help of her parents into taking care of Prince George and the new baby. This time around, it will be Carole and Michael Middleton who will be moving into the palace to offer babysitting duties to their grandchildren. 

Prince William is reportedly more than happy to welcome his parents-in-law into their Norfolk home.

An inside source said, "William is very happy to sit back and let Carole take up the reins. She is ensuring that Anmer runs like clockwork." 

Kate also made her last public appearance with Prince William at the Stephen Lawrence Center before going on maternity leave from her royal duties. Unsurprisingly, she looked blooming and lovely. And more importantly, the royal couple looked very much in love and happy after being together for four years now. 

According to The Independent, the duchess is now ready to spend more time with Prince George before the baby comes out. With a new baby in tow, her attention will soon be divided between the two kids.
