Happy 4th Wedding Anniversary

Wednesday 29th April, 2015

The Duke and Duchess Of Cambridge celebrate their 4th wedding anniversary today. Wouldn't it be a nice way to celebrate by welcoming a new baby into the world? 

As Catherine is 4-6 days overdue, there is speculation  that her baby will be induced over the coming days should it not arrive sooner. Uncle Prince Harry had to leave the UK to resume his stint with the Australian armed forces. Unfortunately he will not be back in London until the middle of May and will miss the birth of his new niece or nephew.

Catherine was seen leaving Buckingham Palace yesterday after collecting Prince George and his nanny from what could have been a swim in the Palace pool. 

William and his wife sent boxes of pastries and croissants to the fans waiting outside St Mary's Hospital yesterday morning. They wanted to let the crowds know they are in their thoughts. 

The wait continues......

Cute George Photo

Monday 27th April, 2015

Prince George appears in the current edition of Australian magazine Woman's Day. Little George was photographed with his nanny on an outing in London last week. 

The trend-setting royal sported green framed sunglasses and wavy strawberry-blonde locks. 

Rather than sitting in his stroller, George held nanny Maria Teresa's hand and helped her push the push-chair across the road. 

Catherine Out Shopping

A week ago The Duchess Of Cambridge was seen shopping at Zara Home in Kensington High Street, just a stones throw from Kensington Palace. 

Despite being due to have her baby any day, Catherine was polite and relaxed whilst she waited for her purchases to be wrapped. 

The Great Kate Wait continues........

Royal Baby Watch

Thursday 23rd April, 2015

The royal baby watch is in full swing. Royal fans are camped outside St Mary's Hospital to be part of the royal baby celebrations.

It is believed The Duchess' baby is due this weekend, either 25th or 26th of April. London's The Telegraph newspaper is one of the media outlets with live streaming cameras set up to capture the excitement of the birth and first glimpses of the new Cambridge prince/ss.

As with Prince George's birth it is likely that Catherine and William will arrive via a back entrance to the hospital so we will no doubt have to wait for a Kensington Palace tweet to advise that the Duchess is in fact in labour.

George Visits Middletons

Wednesday 22nd April, 2015

The Duchess of Cambridge last week spent some time with her parents Michael and Carole at their home in Bucklebury, Berkshire.

It is believed Catherine and George are now ensconced at Kensington Palace with the new baby due any time. Prince William has finished the first phase of his helicopter pilot training course for East Anglia Ambulance and will now be on paternity leave and unpaid leave until early June to enable him to undertake pre arranged royal engagements.

Baby Wait Continues

Engagement Portrait

Today is Her Majesty The Queen's 89th birthday. Wouldn't it be a nice if the Cambridge baby arrived for a double celebration?

Catherine and William celebrate their 4th
wedding anniversary on 29th so maybe the day will be extra special?

It is all guess work at the moment with bookies taking bets on date of birth, gender and names. What is known is that the baby is due any time in the next 10 days. 

Royal fans have taken up positions outside The Lindo Wing and media places have been marked out. The palace has requested that the media do not arrive for the birth until an official palace tweet has been sent. 

Catherine has been spending time at Amner Hall but is expected to travel to their Kensington Palace home closer to the birth.

George's Geography Lesson!

George, July 2014

A very cute story about Prince George has appeared on www.express.co.uk.

Excerpts appear below:

"The Royal toddler, who will be two in July, cried 'Daddy's not here' after opening the cabinet full of china to look for Prince William.
Pregnant Kate, 33, who is due to give birth to her second child later this month, told the story to an overseas travel expert at a recent event in London.
Claudia Gordon, who owns Naples Luxury Travel Advisors, was speaking to the Duchess over lunch at the Goring Hotel's 105th birthday – the west London hotel where Kate stayed on the eve of her wedding to Prince William in 2011.
"I asked her if Prince George was excited about the new prince or princess that was coming and she said yes and that he is a toddler and is talking and walking," said Ms Gordon. 

"Then she told me that his daddy, Prince William, was visiting China. "After hearing this he went to the china cabinet, opened it and proclaimed 'daddy is not here'. 
"She said they would work on his geography."

Doctors For Royal Birth

Mssrs Thorpe Beeston, Setchell and Farthing

It has been confirmed that the medical team for the birth of the new Cambridge prince/ss will be comprised of Mr Alan Farthing and Mr Guy Thorpe Beeston. 

Both gynaecologists and obstetricians were present when George was delivered by Sir Marcus Setchell in 2013.

They have again been caring for The Duchess and her unborn baby.

George's Trip To The Farm

Wednesday 15th April, 2015


Prince George was recently seen at Snettisham Park petting zoo and farm with his heavily pregnant Mum Catherine. 

Catherine, who is due to give birth to the new Cambridge prince or princess sometime this month was enjoying spending time with her firstborn at the farm not far from Anmer Hall.

George who is now 21-months-old enjoyed playing with other young children and farm animals. He was even spotted bottle feeding a piglet. 

The little prince was warmly dressed in a navy blue puffer suit.

Arrangements Outside St Mary's Hospital Underway

Police, the palace and hospital staff are this week starting to erect parking barriers and media pens outside St Mary's Hospital in Paddington. The Duchess Of Cambridge is due to give birth to her second child in the next two weeks at The Lindo Wing. 

Kensington Palace has already asked the media to stay away from the hospital until an official tweet is sent to media outlets once The Duchess is in labour. 

The Palace, on behalf of Catherine and William, has passed on thanks to wellwishers:

"They know that people are excited that Prince George will soon have a little brother or sister and it means a great deal to them that so many will be celebrating this important moment for their family,"

How The Labour And Birth Will Be Announced

Sunday 12th April, 2015

Prince George Leaving Hospital

Kensington Palace held a media briefing on Thursday to outline events surrounding the forthcoming birth of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's second child this month.

The Duchess is currently resting at the couple's country home Anmer Hall and is expected to return to London's Kensington Palace closer to the birth.

Kensington Palace will announce that Catherine has gone into labour via Twitter and then follow up on KensingtonRoyal and Instagram about two minutes later.

Before the birth of Prince George, the media camped outside St Mary's Hospital, Paddington for three weeks before his arrival. It was dubbed The Great Kate Wait. This time the media has been asked to arrive outside the hospital only when the Kensington Palace tweet is sent to the media outlets.

If the baby is born after 10pm, the media will not be advised until 8am the following day. The traditional notice on an easel will also be posted outside Buckingham Palace. Catherine and William's families along with Queen Elizabeth will be notified first.

Charles & William 1984

As with Prince George and Princes William and Harry before him, the new baby will be born in The Lindo Wing of St Mary's. This is only a five minute drive from Kensington Palace.

Prince Charles took Prince William to visit Diana, Princess of Wales when she gave birth to Prince Harry. It is not known if George will be introduced to his new brother or sister in hospital or at home in Kensington Palace.

Prince William has started his flying duties for East Anglia Ambulance. At worst, William will need to make a two hour dash in the car to reach Catherine.

Surgeon Gynaecologist to the Royal Household Alan Farthing along with obstetrician Guy Thorpe-Beeston will take care of The Duchess throughout the labour. They were part of the team under the now retired Sir Marcus Setchell who delivered Prince George.

No doubt Catherine will be glad to see the end of another difficult pregnancy and meet their new baby. 

After a few days rest and a chance for the Queen to meet the baby, the Cambridge family will return to Anmer Hall in Sandringham, Norfolk.
