Is it a prince or princess sibling for Prince George? This question hangs in the air as the world is left guessing about the gender of Kate Middleton and Prince William's second child.
But, as the coming of a new royal baby nears, the Duchess of Cambridge will treat herself to a privilege at the hospital where she will give birth. Kate is set to deliver her second baby at a London hospital where Prince George was born, as reported in The Sydney Morning Herald. Because of this, Prince William's wife will get a hefty discount from the reputable facility.
Kate will allegedly bring the second royal baby to the world at the Saint Mary's Hospital's Lindo Wing. Saint Mary's Lindo Wing for a 2-person occupancy is valued at £6570 or $12,600 for the night. After Kate gets her discounted rate in Saint Mary's, Lindo Wing will be at service for £5913 or $11,344 a night. This price stands given Kate gives a normal delivery. The princess will pay £6000 or $11,510 for consultant services, according to The Sydney Morning Herald.
A journalist at The Telegraph gave birth to her kids at Saint Mary's Lindo Wing, as well. The reporter described Lindo as:
She did praise the facility for having provided "exquisite care" and "unparalleled medical expertise".
The Duchess is scheduled to give birth within the coming days. The palace has yet to confirm a date as to when Kate is set to deliver, though.
Authorities expect that members of the international press will soon flood outside Saint Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London, according to The Mirror UK. The publication cited that media crew from Japan and Australia also awaits for the birth of a brother/sister of Prince George.
Meanwhile, The Inquisitr reported that a revamp in the British economy is expected if Kate and William's second child is a daughter. The reason? Millions of people around the world are likely going to buy baby things the royal baby girl will use. In fact, Hello! Magazine cited that experts tentatively see the birth of Prince George's sibling as racking in a whopping $115 miilion for the British economy. The birth of Prince George in July 2013 reportedly brought in a hefty sum of $400 million to the British economy.
Many are going with the name Alice as the likely name for the second royal baby, if it was to be a girl.
