Alright, folks, let’s talk about something everyone’s buzzing about. Kate Middleton’s due date is practically around the corner, and the world is holding its breath. The royal baby watch is officially on, with eyes glued to the Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, London. This is where the Duchess welcomed her two previous children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Now, it’s time for baby number three, and the anticipation is sky-high.

Here’s the scoop, straight from OK!. Kate has already packed her hospital bag, and it’s not just filled with the essentials. Oh no, this bag is loaded with some serious luxuries and good luck charms to make her hospital stay feel more like home. And let’s not forget, the Lindo Wing isn’t your average hospital. We’re talking a minimum of $8,435 per night for this state-of-the-art maternity ward. Talk about luxury!

What’s In Kate’s Hospital Bag?

So, what exactly does a royal pack for their hospital stay? Well, according to an insider, Kate is bringing along some pretty special items. For starters, she’s got a 19th-century alabaster cameo pendant that was gifted to her by none other than Queen Elizabeth herself. That’s some serious sentimental value right there. Along with that, she’s also packing some black onyx beads that belonged to her mom, Carole Middleton. It’s like having a piece of home with her.

And it doesn’t stop there. Kate’s also bringing three framed family photos to keep her company. There’s one with the Middleton family and another with the Queen. Prince George and Princess Charlotte, being the sweethearts they are, have lent their mom a few of their favorite toys to keep her entertained. And Prince William? He’s given his wife one of her favorite aromatherapy kits, scented with Madagascan vanilla. How thoughtful is that?

The Lindo Wing Experience

Let’s talk about the Lindo Wing for a moment. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill maternity ward. The Duchess has loaded up her Kindle with the latest Booker prize winners, but hey, if reading isn’t her thing, there’s always complimentary Wi-Fi and a selection of newspapers available. For those who prefer a touch of gourmet, the deluxe package at the Lindo Wing costs $8,970 and includes three-course meals cooked by an in-house chef. Now that’s what I call dining in style!

The Royal Baby Announcement

Once the little one arrives, the world will know about it pretty quickly. The news of the Duke and Duchess’ third child will be announced first on the royal family’s official social media channels. After that, the traditional paper announcement will be placed on an easel outside Buckingham Palace. This will confirm the baby’s sex and the time of birth. It’s all about keeping those royal traditions alive and well.
