The
royal
Duchess
of
Cambridge
is
all
set
to
deliver
next
week
and
the
preparations
have
been
started
ahead
of
the
due
date.
Kate
Middleton
is
pregnant
with
the
second
child
and
has
chosen
the
Lindo
Wing
of
St
Mary's
Hospital
in
London
for
the
second
time.
It
is
the
same
hospital
where
her
first
child
and
second
direct
heir
to
the
throne,
Prince
George
was
delivered
on
July
22nd,
2013.
In
fact,
Kate
Middleton's
husband,
Prince
William
was
also
born
at
the
Lindo
on
June
21st
1982
(followed
later
by
his
brother,
Prince
Harry).
The
Duchess
of
Cambridge
will
get
a
10
per
cent
‘loyalty'
discount
for
giving
birth
a
second
time
in
Lindo
Wing's
eye-watering
fees,
thanks
to
a
discount
for
returning
mothers.
As
it
is
the
delivery
of
the
Duchess
of
Cambridge,
the
security
has
been
tightened
and
signs
have
been
put
on
roads
near
the
hospital.
The
parking
restriction
notices
were
erected
outside
the
hospital
yesterday,
emblazoned
with
the
words
‘Special
Event'.
The
sign
boards
will
run
from
15th
to
30th
April,
which
means
that
Kensington
Palace
clearly
anticipate
the
Duchess
to
have
given
birth
by
then.
At
her
last
appearance
during
second
pregnancy
last
month,
Kate
said
at
the
Brookhill
Children's
Centre
in
East
London
to
a
volunteer,
"I'm
due
mid-April
to
the
end
of
April.
Not
long
to
go
now."
In
order
to
avoid
media
and
photographers,
the
Palace
will
allow
no
press
near
the
Lindo
Wing
until
Kate
Middleton
is
admitted.
Kate
will
be
attended
by
a
team
of
experts
led
by
Guy
Thorpe-Beeston,
who
is
surgeon-gynaecologist
to
the
household.
