Wife to Royal Prince William, Kate Middleton, is set to have her second child in the very near future, which is earlier than the expected April 25 due date. However, the Duchess said that her due date was mid to late April, according to reps from Kensington Palace.

She is currently in Kensington Palace close to the Lindo Wing at St. Mary's Hospital. Earlier during the month, there had been prospects that she would be giving birth outside London since she would be making visits to Norfolk and Berkshire.

Kate had spent time with her parents Michael and Carole Middleton in Berkshire where she had grown up and was said to have enjoyed some time at their estate in Anmer Hall in Norfolk together with Prince George. They had been seen spending time at a zoo near the estate.

The Prince had announced that he has taken his paternity leave from his training with the East Anglian Air Ambulance to be with his wife in Apartment 1A, Kensington. While waiting for the arrival of their next child, Prince Harry is set to return to the UK to welcome their newborn soon after being dispatched to Australia.

Eager fans are betting on the gender of the royal couple's next child. According to New York Post, many fans bet that it is a girl and would likely be called Alice and would be Arthur if it turned out male. Excited fans are also seen outside St. Mary's Hospital awaiting for the next heir or heiress to the throne.
