When they are ready to leave St. Mary’s, Their Royal Highnesses will likely pose for photos with the new baby outside the hospital’s private Lindo Wing, just as they did with Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
Kensington announced that Middleton was pregnant for a third time on Sept. 4, around a month before revealing that she was due sometime in April. “The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to confirm they are expecting a baby in April 2018,” the Palace tweeted.
