Royal Baby...Today???

The Duchess of Cambridge was admitted to St Mary's Hospital in the early hours of the morning in the UK, or around 3pm (AEST).

"The Duchess of Cambridge has been admitted this morning to St. Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, London in the early stages of labour,” a royal spokesman said.

She was rushed to the west London hospital by car around 6am local time and was accompanied by her husband Prince William.

The Duchess was admitted to a private wing of the hospital as the media pack that has been hovering around the royal couple for weeks entered a frenzy.

Middleton was due to give birth in mid-July so the baby appear to have come around a week early.

The couple have said they are unaware of the gender of their baby, who will become third in-line to inherit the throne currently occupied by the child's grandmother Queen Elizabeth II.

After a recent change in the law, the baby will also be made an HRH (His or Her Royal Highness) and given the title Prince or Princess of Cambridge.

The baby does not necessarily need to have a surname — but if William and Kate want it to have one, they can choose between Mountbatten-Windsor, Wales and Cambridge.

The last time a serving monarch had the chance to meet a great grandchild born in direct succession to the crown was almost 120 years ago.
