Journalists discuss the odds for the royal baby's name outside the Lindo Wing of St. Mary's Hospital
in London on July 22, 2013. Buckingham Palace officials say Prince William's wife, Kate, has been
admitted to the hospital in the early stages of labor. Royal officials said that Kate traveled by car to
St. Mary's Hospital in central London. Kate, also known as the Duchess of Cambridge, is expected to
give birth in the private Lindo Wing of the hospital, where Princess Diana gave birth to William and
his younger brother, Prince Harry. The baby will be third in line for the British throne, behind Prince
Charles and William, and is anticipated eventually to become king or queen.

Crowds of tourists gather on the steps of the Queen Victoria Memorial Statue outside Buckingham
Palace in central London on July 22, 2013. Prince William's wife, Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, was
admitted to hospital today in the early stages of labor as the world awaits the birth of a baby directly
in line to inherit the British throne. It will then be made public in the traditional way, with a
proclamation signed by royal doctors displayed on an easel in the Buckingham Palace forecourt --
the same easel used to announce William's birth in 1982.
