Kate Middleton goes into labor: The royal baby will be due any moment

OHMYGOSSIP — Kate Middleton is about to become a mommy! The British Royal has gone into labor and checked into hospital! Prince William is with his wife at the private Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, west London, where he himself was born in 1982.

Palace officials chose to make the announcement that Kate has gone into labour public in an attempt to balance her “dignity” with the fact that social media makes it almost impossible to keep her baby’s imminent arrival a secret.

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

“The Duchess travelled by car from Kensington Palace to the Lindo Wing with The Duke of Cambridge.

The couple’s child will become third in the line of succession, displacing Prince Harry to fourth and the Duke of York to fifth.

As a result of recent, long-anticipated changes 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.

If she is a girl she will, one day, become Queen, just as a boy will become King.

A source told Us Weekly that the couple “may take some time” to select the moniker for their future monarch.

Kate and William both returned to London from Anglesey last Friday.

“Kate is making sure she’s done as much as possible for the new house before the baby is born,” a Middleton family source said. “Naturally, she’s a little nervous!”
