The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have asked not to be told their baby's gender because they want it to be a surprise, it has been revealed.
The royal households are putting the final touches to their plans for the birth of the royal baby next month, who will be third in line to the throne, whether a boy or a girl.
According to Fairfax, the couple are not having twins, as was previously speculated, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.
Barring a last-minute emergency, the baby will be born in the private Lindo Wing of the NHS hospital St Mary's in Paddington, west London, in mid-July.
William plans to be by his wife's side in the delivery room.
Both William and Harry were born in the Lindo Wing, as were other royals.
