Royal baby: Britain awaits baby Sussex

It was always the Duchess of Sussex’s wish to give birth naturally in the calm surroundings of her secluded Windsor home.

But now a week overdue and with no sign of Baby Sussex’s arrival, the 37-year-old Duchess was last night facing the disappointing prospect of induced labor and a hospital birth.

it is now likely she will give birth at Frimley Park Hospital in Surrey, 15 miles from Frogmore Cottage.

Royal fans spent another day yesterday waiting patiently for news. 

At Frogmore Cottage, the Duchess, who is with Prince Harry and her mother Doria, was said to be ‘comfortable and happy’ and ‘getting plenty of fresh air in the garden’. 

Sources say a nurse visited the home in the past week and, as a female-led delivery team is on standby.

Last month, the couple said they planned to keep arrangements for the birth of their baby private.
