Kate still at home as “delivery day” comes to close

Kate shows bump a few weeks ago

Interest is sky-high in the United Kingdom and much of the world this weekend at Kate Middleton seems likely to give birth within hours. Newspapers in the U-K are saying the closely kept secret of the princess’s due date is out — and it’s today — July 13, 2013. Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, is said to have let the information come out. The Mail Online has said that mystery shrouded the expected date of birth  since Kate was taken to the King Edward VII hospital with severe morning sickness in December, early in the pregnancy. Because of her illness, the Palace was forced to announce she was expecting before she had undergone her 12-week scan. It meant no one outside Kate and William’s close circle knew exactly how far the pregnancy had progressed. A friend of the pair revealed: ‘Some of Kate and William’s closest pals were at a barbecue hosted by a family friend of the Royals recently. ‘They were all discussing the fact that Kate’s baby is due to be born on July 13. As of tonight however, with Greenwich Time five hours ahead of Toronto, Kate was said to be still at home.
