Royal Baby: Duchess Of Cambridge In Labour

BREAKING NEWS: The Duchess of Cambridge has been admitted to hospital in the early stages of labour.

Kate, who is thought to be more than a week past her due date, is believed to have been taken through a side entrance of the Lindo wing at St Mary's Hospital just after 5am.

The Duke of Cambridge travelled with her by car from Kensington Palace.

Kate is being tended by a top medical team led by the Queen's former gynaecologist Marcus Setchell, who delivered the Countess of Wessex's two children.

The world's press have been camped outside St Mary's in Paddington for days in anticipation of the birth.
