As the countdown to the arrival of the royal baby continues, as Kate Middleton is expected to give birth between July 11 to July 13, many are wondering if the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge know the sex of their baby, and ABC News has news on the baby's gender that may surprise you.
According to royal sources, Kate Middleton and Prince William do not yet know the sex of their baby, even though the Duchess "teased" her fans by wearing pink at her last public appearance at the Queen's Trooping of the Colour celebration.
Royal sources also confirm that when the baby is ready to be born, the first announcement from the palace will come after Middleton has been admitted to St. Mary's Hospital, the same hospital in which her late mother-in-law Princess Diana gave birth to Prince William. The second formal birth announcement will be in the form of a traditional paper with an official palace seal placed on a golden easel outside of Buckingham Palace's gates.
Photographers, security officials and royalty enthusiasts have already swarmed to be near the hospital where Middleton is expected to give birth any day now in the private Lindo Wing of St. Mary's Hospital. According to UPI.com, royal officials will follow a strict protocol once the baby has been born.
