Just like the royal baby fever surrounding Kate Middleton's pregnancy, there was plenty of buzz when Princess Diana was expecting. Then, the world watched as she raised Prince William and Prince Harry.

Toting the boys to royal events to fun outings, Princess Diana was a very hands on mother. See her sweetest public moments with her sons.

Kate Middleton and Prince William, who are days away from welcoming the birth of a royal heir, are expected to mirror the late Princess Diana's parenting method.

The royal couple reportedly want their first child to have a normal upbringing despite the fact that he or she will be third in line to the throne.

In April, the Duchess revealed that her first child is due "around mid-July," when asked by news reporters in Glasgow, adding "but babies have their own agenda."

A new report suggests that Middleton may have followed Diana's lead by possibly telling the press that the baby is due weeks after the actual due date, according to The Daily Telegraph.

There has been no confirmation from Kensington Palace as to when the baby is due but it is known to be sometime from now till mid July.

Prince William has already said he wants to be present for the birth.

The Duchess and Prince William have yet to discover the sex of their first child.

The press gathered outside St Mary's on Monday to secure their own spot as they await the royal arrival.

Middleton is expected to be in the Lindo Wing of the hospital. The wing offers a hotel service team, which will reportedly cater to Middleton's dietary needs.

Middleton is planning to go through a natural labour delivery when she gives birth.

Enstars reported earlier that Middleton will have a musical playlist on deck when she gives birth, which will include tunes from Calvin Harris and Bruno Mars. OK! magazine noted that the musical selection has reportedly helped with her fears about the delivery of her first child.

"Kate says she's never been so nervous and feels physically sick about giving birth," a source said. "To make matters worse, Prince William is still working and isn't around to comfort her. She's a real mess."
