Kate To Give Birth At Same Hospital As Diana

The Duchess of Cambridge will give birth at the same hospital wing where Diana, Princess of Wales, had Princes William and Harry.

Sky News has also learned that Kate is expected to have a natural birth at the private suites of the Lindo Wing in St Mary's Hospital, Paddington, next month.

Despite months of speculation, she and Prince William have chosen not to find out the gender of their first child in advance of its arrival.

While Kate's exact due date remains a closely-guarded secret, Kensington Palace says Prince William intends to be by his wife's side during labour, despite being on duty in Anglesey in the run up to the Duchess' due date.

Details have also emerged about the medical team set to be alongside the Duchess once she is admitted to hospital.

The Queen's former gynaecologist, Marcus Setchell, will deliver the baby.

Mr Setchell, who delivered the Countess of Wessex's two children, also assisted Kate after last year being admitted to hospital suffering from acute morning sickness.

Assisting Mr Setchell will be the Queen's current gynaecologist Alan Farthing, the former fiancé of murdered TV presenter Jill Dando.

Having undergone extensive refurbishment and now comprising 17 en-suite rooms, the Lindo Wing boasts on its website it is a "dedicated facility which provides modern, world-class consultant-led care in one of the UK's leading teaching hospitals".

At a cost of well in excess of £5,000 for the first night, the Duchess is expected to take up one of the suites equipped with satellite television, radio, a fridge and a choice of newspaper brought to the room each morning.

"We offer a comprehensive wine list should you wish to enjoy a glass of champagne and toast your baby's arrival," the website adds.

Kensington Palace told Sky News: "This will be a deeply private moment. But the couple recognises that this is also a moment for national celebration."

It has also become clear how the announcement will be made upon the birth of the future monarch who will become third in line to the throne.

Taking precedence over new media such as Twitter, the first indication Kate has given birth will be when a bulletin or 'notice of birth' is publicly transferred from the Paddington hospital by car to Buckingham Palace.

The notice, signed by key medical staff, will confirm the time of birth, weight and gender of the couple's baby, and will be placed by a footman on an easel on the Palace forecourt in public view.

The easel is understood to be the same as that used for the announcement of Prince William's birth in 1982.

But the bulletin will be transferred from the hospital only once key members of the Royal family, including the Queen, and the Middleton family have been notified about the good news.

But birth announcement plans will likely be adapted should the Duchess of Cambridge be admitted to hospital late in the evening or during the night.

Kensington Palace says it is unclear at this stage when the name of William and Kate's baby will be announced.

In the case of Prince Harry, it was on the day he was born, but it took a few days before the name 'William' came to light.

After pausing for photographs as a family for the first time on the steps of the Lindo Wing once Kate is discharged, it is understood Prince William will take the statutory two weeks paternity leave before returning to work as a search and rescue pilot.

The length of maternity leave for the Duchess is thought to be a personal and private matter for the couple.
