LONDON (Reuters) - Prince William's wife Kate has gone into labour and been admitted to hospital for the birth of the couple's first child, who will be third in line to the British throne, his office said on Monday.
Kate, 31, was taken to the private wing of St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, west London, where William himself was born in 1982.
"The Duchess travelled by car from Kensington Palace to the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital with The Duke of Cambridge," Kensington Palace said in a statement.
Royal sources have said Kate has planned a natural birth with William, a Royal Air Force search and rescue helicopter pilot based in north Wales, at her side.
The sex of the baby, who will become third in line to the throne behind grandfather Prince Charles and father William, is unknown as the royal couple wanted it to be a surprise.
The birth will be announced in the traditional way, with an envelope containing notice of the baby's details taken from the hospital to the queen's London residence, Buckingham Palace, where the news will be posted on a board at the main gates.
