Kate gave birth to both Prince George and Princess Charlotte at St. Mary’s Hospital, but it appears for her third delivery she is envisioning something slightly different: A home birth at Kensington Palace.
Respected royal reporter Camilla Tominey revealed in the Sunday Express that the duchess wants to have her baby at home because it will cause less disruption.
?She has discussed it with William and he is being very supportive. They both think it would be lovely for the family to have a home birth, particularly for George and Charlotte,” a royal source revealed to Tominey. ?Above all, they both agree that having a home birth would save a massive intrusion into the day-to-day running of any hospital where she gave birth.” If you remember George’s birth, media camped outside of St. Mary’s hospital for more than a month waiting for the future king’s arrival, which was obviously a massive inconvenience for both hospital staff and patients.
It’s believed that Kate had relatively easy, unmedicated births with both her children and expects to have the same with her third. Though this time, technically, the duchess is considered of “advanced maternal age” (a horrible term, we know!), so she is at risk for some delivery issues that her obstetricians will definitely be watching out for.
Kate may be getting her wish for a home birth, but it definitely won’t be your average home birt...
