I actually do feel sorry for Kate at this point. Much like her last pregnancy with Prince George, Kate is overdue. According to The Telegraph, Kate’s due date was last Thursday and her doctors are considering inducing her labor as early as this weekend, although “sources” claim that if Kate is feeling comfortable, the doctors will avoid inducement and just wait for labor naturally. Generally speaking, I guess most women want to wait until they’re one week overdue and then they start thinking about getting induced.
As for Kate’s state of mind, Us Weekly’s source, a “family friend,” says that Kate is “well” and “in good spirits… Everyone is! Although it would be fair to say also eager for the time to come.”
Kate was last seen in public a week ago, when she stopped by Zara Home on Kensington High Street. She was “jeans and wedges” and was apparently in full-on nesting mode, picking up “placemats, hand towels, coasters, salad servers, and blue and white children’s hangers.” Many of the items were blue, in fact. Is that significant? Is she having a second boy? Us Weekly also notes that “Antonella Fresolone and nanny Maria Borallo have been spotted walking the family’s dog Lupo around Kensington Gardens every day, and grandma Carole Middleton has been helping take care of Prince George. She will look after George when the royal couple head to the hospital.” Ah, I was actually wondering what would be done with George while Kate was in the hospital.
Oh, and when the baby is finally here, the first announcement will be on Twitter. I follow @KensingtonRoyal and I’m assuming that will be the main Twitter handle used, although I would assume @BritishMonarchy will also be announcing it concurrently.
