14 DAY TRIAL // Some time ago, the Palace said that Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, and Prince William, would be welcoming their first child in mid-July. As the entire world is waiting for the arrival of the royal baby, a new report suggests Kate is now spending some time at her parents’ home.
Though the Palace did not offer an exact date for the birth, many took “mid-July” to mean precisely July 14 – or July 15, at the most.
Consequently, journalists from all over the world are camped outside the Lindo Wing of St Mary’s hospital in Paddington, where Kate will be giving birth.
As anticipation is rising there, she has actually traveled to her family’s home in Berkshire to spend the last days of the pregnancy, Hello! Magazine writes.
“Police cars are parked outside the Middleton's home, ready to take Kate, 31, the 50 mile journey to London when the time comes,” the publication writes, citing other reports in the British media.
In other words, the “mid-July” due date could actually be later than initially believed.
“Despite speculation that Kate's royal baby was due on 13 July, Prince William went ahead with his plans to play in a charity polo match suggesting there was still time before the baby is expected to be born,” Hello! says.
“The Duke of Cambridge was said to be torn between attending the match or not, which raises thousands of pounds for charities the young royal supports, but in the end he decided to play, according to an insider source,” the same media outlet adds.
Moreover, the Middletons attended the Queen’s Coronation Festival on Thursday which, again, fueled rumors that the baby wasn’t expected for another while, even though the Duchess was not there.
“The attendance of the Middletons suggested that Kate's due date is not as close as originally thought and Kate herself was reportedly keen to attend the event, before eventually deciding against it,” the celebrity magazine further says.
