Kate Middleton could give birth to the royal baby any day now and the royal family couldn't be happier. The family celebrated Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation Festival, which will run through Sunday, but Middleton and the baby were on everybody's mind.
Duchess Camilla, 65, stopped to talk to reporters saying that she was excited and anxious to meet the royal baby.
"We are excited, immensely looking forward to it and waiting for the phone call," she told the magazine.
A family source also revealed that Middleton is excited, "feeling great" and "full of energy." The source did say that she is experiencing jitters, typical of a first time mom.
"Naturally she is a little nervous about the big day, what new mum wouldn't be?"
A St. James Palace rep, told US Weekly that the baby's arrival will be announced electronically but will also be placed in a wood and gold frame on an easel just behind the gates of Buckingham Palace. This birth is extremely important and the Palace wants to the announcement to be just as special as the birth. The announcement will include answers to some of the public's most burning questions like the sex of the baby, weight and the time of birth. It will not include the name of the baby; the public will have to wait a few days before that information is revealed.
"Although an electronic release will go out, we want there to be a degree of theatre about the birth announcement," a Palace rep told Us Weekly. "This is the birth of the third in line to the throne so it is very important. It is an extremely important occasion."
It is speculated that the Duchess of Cambridge is going to have a little girl after she accidently almost let it slip when taking a gift for the baby. If she is having a girl rumored names for the little girl have been Alexandra, Charlotte, Elizabeth, Diana and Victoria. If it's a boy the most popular name shave been George and James.
