Kate Middleton admitted to hospital in early stages of labor

Article from Fox News.
Kate Middleton's first child is almost born. She arrived in a private car with her husband on Monday morning to St. Mary's Hospital. She is expected to give birth in the same private wing that Princess Diana gave birth to William and Harry. This child will be the third in line to the throne after Prince Charles and William. As of right now, "things are progressing as normal" and Kate is "very well." However, we do not know whether she will have a natural birth or a Caesarian section. All of the information about the birth has been kept very secret and private. Nobody knows the exact birth date of the baby, except for the fact that it is about one to two days overdue. The queen will be the first to be notified about anything before the general public is. The birth will be announced in the exact way it was for Princes Charles and William. A bulletin will be posted in front of the Buckingham Palace. They will add social media as a way of telling the world, because this is modern times. At the same time the bulletin is posted, there will be a Twitter announcement. The announcements will give the baby's gender, weight and time of birth, but possibly not the baby's name.

Update from USA Today.
The baby was born at 4:24 pm local time today. The baby weighed 8 pounds, 6 ounces. William got to be at Kate's side during the birth. The name is not known and may not be known for a week or so.

Since I do not live in the UK, the new prince's birth does not affect me. However, I do hope that when the time comes for him to reign, he will be successful.
