Royal baby: Duchess of Cambridge in early stages of labour

he Duchess of Cambridge has been admitted to hospital in the early stages of labour.

Catherine was admitted to the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital in west London where her first child, Prince George, was born in July 2013.

Kensington Palace said "labour is progressing as normal" for the duchess, who was taken to the hospital by car.

Officials have said the duchess and her husband, Prince William, do not know the sex of their unborn child.

The duchess travelled from Kensington Palace with Prince William and was admitted at 06:00 BST (05:00 GMT).

Catherine, who is thought to be overdue, is being looked after by consultant obstetrician Guy Thorpe-Beeston.

He will be joined in the delivery room by Alan Farthing, the Queen's surgeon-gynaecologist.

The new baby will be fourth in line to the throne, behind his or her grandfather Prince Charles, father Prince William and brother Prince George.

Both Prince William and his brother Prince Harry were also born at the Lindo Wing, a private unit within St Mary's NHS hospital.

Fans of the Royal Family have been gathering near the hospital with flags and banners in recent days.

But unlike at the time of Prince George's birth, the world's press have been stopped from camping outside.

Press areas will now open at the hospital for journalists, photographers and camera crews.

The birth will be announced in an email to the press. Two minutes later, a tweet will be posted on the Kensington Palace Twitter feed - @KensingtonRoyal.

There will also be the traditional custom of placing a paper announcement outside Buckingham Palace.

The former press secretary to the Queen, Dickie Arbiter, said the duchess was carrying out royal duties until recently.

He said: "She wasn't letting anything stand in her way. She was feeling fit, if a little bit heavy."

He added: "She was supporting William, she was supporting the Royal Family and doing as much as she could."

Royal baby: Duchess of Cambridge gives birth to daughter

The Duchess of Cambridge has given birth to a girl, Kensington Palace has announced.

The princess - who is fourth in line to the throne - was "safely delivered" at 08:34 BST, the palace said in a statement.

The Duke of Cambridge was present for the birth of the baby, who weighed 8lbs 3oz (3.7kg).

Both Catherine and her daughter are "doing well", the statement added.

The name of the baby will be announced in due course.

Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess on the birth of their daughter. Wishing them lots of joy and happiness - and hopefully some sleep!

Prince William wanted a girl, Kate wanted a girl, Prince Charles wanted a girl and the nation wanted a girl. The only people who didn't are the nation's bookmakers, who face a £500,000 payout after most punters correctly guessed the gender.

To their Royal Highnesses, many, many congratulations on the birth of your baby daughter. God Bless the Queen, and my guess is that she will be called Mary Victoria.xxx. .

Can't wait to get a glimpse to try and tell who she looks like or what side of the family is most visible on her tiny face. Regardless of the fact that most babies resemble squashed potatoes for a bit, it's still often obvious, but as with George, we probably won't see that many for quite some time due to rightful privacy concerns. Baby girls are such fun! Welcome to the world, little one, and congrats to the proud parents!

Congratulations. Some happy news for once! I do hope Kate and William give the baby girl the name Diana amongst the other names that she will have. That would be a wonderful thing to do. I just wish Diana was still alive to be able to hold her grandchildren. She would adore them.

Wonderful news for this lovely couple, a beautiful daughter to join little Prince George. Congratulations to them all.

Congrats to the proud Royal Family! I bet the little princess will be as Beautiful as her Mommy!! Congrats to you too Prince George you have a Baby Princess Sister

Congratulations! I wish both the Duchess and Duke well. Although I still find it somewhat patronising to Royal and British history to announce the birth via that utterly horrific site twitter. I understand they are trying to move with the times but they are 'Royal' for a reason - stick to tradition. I don't know about anyone else, but I do not want a 'modern Royal family', I want a 'traditional Royal family'.

Congratulations! to all
