The Great Kate Wait rumbles on with no sign of the Duchess of Cambridge arriving at the central London hospital where she is due to give birth to the third in line to the British throne.
LONDON, ENGLAND, UK (JULY 21, 2013) (REUTERS) - A Journalists from all over the world on Sunday (July 21) maintained their 24 hour vigil outside the central London hospital where the Duchess of Cambridge is due to give birth, with no sign of the royal couple's imminent arrival.
The media pen, across the street from the private Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital, grows with ever more ladders, in preparation for the scramble when word is out that Catherine, more popularly known as Kate, has arrived to give birth.To amuse themselves, journalists have placed witty signs on all the ladders with slogans such as "For Sale - Photographer Not Included".
Royal super fans, like 78-year-old Terry Hutt are also keeping up the vigil. Hutt has been camped out on a bench outside the hospital since July 10. He's keeping himself amused having his photo taken with curious passers-by.
It is reported that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have now moved from Kate's parents house in Berkshire, 50 miles west of London, back to their small cottage in the grounds of Kensington Palace.
Nobody knows the actual due date, apart from sometime in mid-July. But on Saturday (July 20), the Daily Telegraph reported hospital sources as saying the due date was two days ago on July 19.
Previous newspaper reports had cited July 13 as the due date.
Whatever date the the baby comes, the now quiet media pen outside the hospital is guaranteed to turn into a hectic zoo.
