Kate Middleton Baby Gender Unknown By Pregnant Duchess or Prince William as Due Date Nears; Baby Plans Revealed
New details have emerged about Kate Middleton's pregnancy, thanks to Clarence House spokesperson, Ed Perkins, according to reports.
In a press briefing last Thursday, Perkins revealed that the pregnant Duchess of Cambridge and husband, Prince William still do not know the gender of their baby, despite previous reports that swirled months ago.
The 31-year-old who is now on maternity leave, being due in a few weeks will deliver her royal bundle of joy at St. Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London, the same hospital Princess Diana had Prince William and Prince Harry.
The baby will be born in the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital, a private facility that offers deluxe suites equipped with a bed, lounge, satellite television, Wi-Fi, safe and a refrigerator, Radar Online noted.
It was also confirmed that the Queens's former gynecologist, Doctor Marcus Setchell, will come out of retirement to supervise the birth.
Enstars reported back in March that the 69-year-old doctor was thrilled to be helping Middleton on her big day. He is described as a "lovely old-school gentleman," with a source adding that he is "highly rated by the Queen."
Dr. Setchell also assisted in the deliveries of the Countess of Wessex's two babies, Lady Louise Windsor and James, Viscount Severn.
Prince William will go on two weeks of paternity leave from his military base in Wales to be near to Middleton after she gives birth.
Previous reports noted that Middleton's pregnancy will be filmed in a documentary. The one-hour special, entitled, William Kate and The Royal Baby will be sold to buyers during the 2013 MIPTV market in France, and will be reportedly released in July, just in time for the baby's arrival, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The Duchess made her last public appearance at the Trooping of Colour ceremony on Saturday to honor the Queen's birthday.
While many speculated that she was expecting a baby girl from the pale pink Alexander coat she glowed in, fans now know that she is yet to know the sex of her baby.
