The new baby will become 5th-in-line to the throne, pushing Prince Harry back further in the line of succession.
It is understood that the Duke and Duchess do not know the gender of the baby preferring to keep it a surprise. However, bookmakers make a baby girl the favourite with the name Mary topping the names list.
The Lindo Wing at St Mary’s Hospital in London has overseen private births for generations of families since 1937. Princes William, Harry and George were all born at the Paddington hospital as were Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall.
There has been speculation that the Duchess would give birth at the Lindo Wing for a few weeks now after the front door and railings recently got a new lick of paint.
Kate has suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum, a form of severe morning sickness with all her pregnancies, but her births have been straightforward. After having Prince George, she left the hospital the next day, and after giving birth to Princess Charlotte, she returned to Kensington Palace just ten short hours later.
