Monday, 23rd April.  A new Royal baby is on the way today

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Excitement is building outside St Mary's Hospital where the Duchess of Cambridge is preparing to give birth to her third child.

Kate Middleton was driven from Kensington Palace to the private Lindo Wing, in Paddington, London, before rush-hour traffic hit the city this morning.

Her husband, Prince William, was by her side.

At 6am, the 36-year-old was in the "early stages of labour" at the exclusive maternity unit where she previously welcomed son George, four, and two-year-old daughter Charlotte.

Die-hard fans of the Royal Family are beginning to gather outside the hospital in the hope of catching a glimpse of newborn Baby Cambridge.

The royal tot will be fifth-in-line to the British throne behind his or her siblings, dad Prince William, and grandfather and heir Prince Charles.

Uncle Prince Harry, who marries US former actress Meghan Markle next month, will fall to sixth on the list.

With George, the Duchess gave birth 10-and-a-half hours after being admitted to hospital, but Charlotte was born just two hours and 34 minutes after Kate arrived at the Lindo Wing.

It could be a speedy arrival for the soon-to-be family-of-five and if Kate gives birth by the end of the day - as is expected - the royal baby will be born on patriotic St George's Day.

The royal baby would also share their birthday with Lady Gabriella Windsor - the daughter of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, who was born at the Lindo Wing, where Kate is in labour, on April 23 in 1981.

Famous names celebrating their birthdays today include the model Gigi Hadid and actor John Hannah.

The baby has just missed arriving on the Queen's 92nd birthday which was on Saturday.

William and Kate are set to celebrate their seventh wedding anniversary on April 29, while Princess Charlotte turns three on May 2.

Kensington Palace said in a statement this morning: "Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge was admitted to St Mary's Hospital, Paddington, London, earlier this morning in the early stages of labour.

"The Duchess travelled by car from Kensington Palace to the Lindo Wing at St. Mary's Hospital with The Duke of Cambridge."

Mary, Alice, and Victoria are among the favourite names with bookmakers if the baby is a girl with Albert, Arthur, and Fred, the favourites for a boy.

The baby's title will be HRH Prince or Princess of Cambridge.

There had been speculation that the Duchess would choose to give birth at home, the norm for generations of royal mothers, after two problem-free labours.

But she eventually decided to return to the London hospital where she had delivered her two older children.

The Cambridges have chosen not to know the sex of their new baby - a pattern they have followed throughout all three pregnancies.

Having had homes in north Wales and Norfolk in eastern England, William and Kate now live at Kensington Palace to allow the prince to dedicate more time to royal duties on behalf of his grandmother.

The British royals are rarely out of the media glare, but the baby arrives at a time when the Windsors have particularly been in the limelight.

On Saturday, Queen Elizabeth celebrated her 92nd birthday by attending a televised concert having played a prominent role at the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in London where it was announced Charles would succeed her as head of the network of mainly former British colonies.

The impending birth will also give Kate's family another cause for celebration after it was reported by British media on Sunday that her sister Pippa was pregnant with her first child.

As with her two previous pregnancies, Kate suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum, an extreme form of morning sickness which can cause severe nausea and vomiting and require supplementary hydration and nutrients.

Kate's last engagement ahead of the birth was on March 22 when she and William attended a number of events in London to celebrate the Commonwealth ahead of a meeting of its leaders last week.

Chic in a £600 cream coat from Goat and a top from high street favourite Hobbs, the future Queen looked relaxed and glowing ahead of the arrival of her third child.

Kate and William met in 2001 when they were at the University of St Andrews, in Scotland. They dated for 10 years and got engaged in Kenya in October 2010.

Their lavish wedding at Westminster Abbey in April 2011 was watched by millions around the world and revitalised a monarchy dogged by scandal and haunted by the spectre of William's mother, Diana.

Kate was young, fresh and from a family who provided the stability that both her husband, now 35, and his brother Harry had lacked.

The couple's first child George Alexander Louis was born in July 2013 after a difficult pregnancy. The Duchess had suffered deeply debilitating morning sickness which had left her hospitalised.

While she was being treated, two Australian radio station presenters made a prank call pretending to be the Queen and Prince Charles.

Jacintha Saldanha, a nurse at King Edward's Hospital where Kate was being treated, believed the hoax and put them through to the ward.

She committed suicide days later.

The Cambridges' second child Charlotte Elizabeth Diana was born in May 2015.

Her name is a tribute to grandfather Prince Charles, the Queen, Kate's great-grandmother (also Elizabeth) and William's mother, the late Princess of Wales.

The new arrival's home will be a lavish 22-room apartment at Kensington Palace which was extensively refurbished to William and Kate's specifications.

All you need to know about the royal baby

Where will the baby fall in the line of succession?

A great-grandchild of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, he or she will be born fifth in line to the throne, bumping uncle Prince Harry out of the top five into sixth place.

The Prince of Wales is first in line, followed by William who is second in line, Prince George third and Princess Charlotte fourth.

Younger male siblings are no longer allowed to jump ahead of their older sisters in the line of succession.

Will he or she ever be monarch?

Unlikely. It's rare, but not unheard of, for a third-born royal in direct succession to become king or queen.

This Cambridge sibling will live their life happy in the knowledge they will not be expected to wear the crown, leaving that role to older brother George.

William IV, a Hanoverian king who ruled from 1830 to 1837, was a third child - of George III and Queen Charlotte.
He acceded to the throne when he outlived his older brothers, George IV, who died without an heir, and Frederick, Duke of York.

What will the baby be called?

After picking the regal George and Charlotte for their first two, William and Kate will not be expected to suddenly choose an unusual name for their third.

Alice, Mary, Alexandra or Victoria for a girl, or Frederick, James, Arthur or Philip for a boy are good bets.

Will they be a prince or princess?

Yes. The new baby will be an HRH and a Prince or Princess of Cambridge - thanks to the Queen who stepped in ahead of Prince George's birth to ensure all William's children had fitting titles.

Royal baby will have one very impressive title - but will still be born a commoner

Will they hire a second nanny?

Kate and William already have the help of George and Charlotte's full-time live-in nanny Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo.

But Maria could be given a helper - perhaps a fellow Norland nanny - as she cares for the three youngsters.

William and Harry had two much-loved nannies at the same time when they were young - Barbara Barnes and her deputy Olga Powell, who later took the lead role.

How much does a Norland nanny like Maria Borallo earn - and how much it costs to train as one

When and where will the baby be born?

With Kate experiencing two successful, straightforward deliveries at the Lindo Wing in St Mary's Hospital, Paddington, she has headed back to the exclusive private delivery suite for the arrival of her third child.

Charlotte's birth was very fast after Kate's arrival at hospital, and Prince George did not take too much longer. So there appears every likelihood it will be a St George's Day baby.

Will there be the same level of baby fever?

Although this baby will only be fifth in line, the popularity of William, Kate, George and Charlotte across the globe means the arrival of the newest member of the Windsors will be high-profile once again.

In May 2015 ahead of Charlotte's birth, scores of foreign media outlets descended on the Lindo Wing. Her birth dominated the news agenda in the UK and hit the headlines around the world.

Will the Cambridges stop at three children?

Who knows? The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh had four children and the Queen was 37 when she had her youngest, Prince Edward.

Kate is only 36 so has time to even out the numbers.

William's great-great-great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria had nine children.

But after Kate's happy childhood as one of three, there seems every likelihood baby Cambridge 3 will be enough for them.

Hello, what's your journey to work like? How do you go to work? I live in north west London and work in central London so it takes me about an hour to go to work.

First I walk to the tube station and take the train. I change trains at Euston. I change from the Northern Line to the Victoria Line and I get off at Victoria and walk to the college where I work. In the morning I set off quite early so the trains aren't crowded and I can usually sit down, but in the evening the trains are very crowded and everybody's squashed together and in the summer it's really terrible.

My friend Sam lives in Australia. I live in England. We like to keep in touch by email and send each other photos of our families. Yesterday was Sam's birthday, and I wanted to send her something special. I put Sam's present in a box and wrapped it in brown paper. I wrote Sam's address on the front and my address on the back. I took the parcel to the Post Office in town. There was a long queue, but the assistant was really helpful. He asked me to put my parcel on the scales so he could tell me how much it would cost to send. Then, he put a special stamp on it, and a sticker that said 'BY AIRMAIL'. "It will take about a week," he said. Anyway, that was ten days ago. This morning, I got an email from Sam. She was delighted to receive a birthday present all the way from England!
