The royal baby could be the first to be born outside of London in 85 years.
While the second child of Britain’s Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge is set to be delivered at St Mary’s Hospital in west London, two other hospitals have been put on standby for the royal delivery in case the Duchess, 33, leaves the capital.
The brunette beauty, who hinted that her due date was "mid-April, to the end of April", is currently based at Kensington Palace, a short journey from the Lindo Wing where she gave birth to Prince George in 2013.
However both the Royal Berkshire hospital in Reading and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King’s Lynn, Norfolk, have been put on standby in case the Duchess should go into labour nearby.
Royal Berkshire hospital lies just 12 miles from her parents’ home in Bucklebury, Berkshire, while the Queen Elizabeth hospital lies close to the family’s residence Amner Hall.
According to the Daily Telegraph newspaper, the Duchess’ obstetricians have been warned that they could be called to travel to any of the planned locations.
