The Duchess of Cambridge is in early stages of labour and has been admitted to hospital, where she is accompanied by her husband Prince William.

Kensington Palace confirmed Kate Middleton was admitted to the Lindo Wing at St Mary’s hospital earlier this morning [Monday 23 April], west London, where she previously gave birth to her two older children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will announce the birth of their third child on a website dedicated to the royal baby.

The Metropolitan Police installed barriers marking out accredited press positions from which photographers will be able to take the first shots of the newborn royal baby.

The birth of a royal baby is traditionally announced on an easel outside of Buckingham Palace. However, when Prince George and Princess Charlotte were born the news was also announced publicly via a tweet, and in 2018 the tweet from Kensington Royal will be accompanied by an update on a special page on the royal family website – www.royal.uk/baby.
