Royal Baby May Not Be A Londoner. Prince William and Kate Middleton\'s second baby is due any day now and contingency plans for the pregnancy mean the mother-to-be may not have enough time to be driven to London for the birth.

London: Prince William and Kate Middleton's second baby is due any day now and contingency plans for the pregnancy mean the mother-to-be may not have enough time to be driven to London for the birth.

If Kate remains at her London home at Kensington Palace, the already confirmed venue of Lindo Wing at St. Mary's hospital in the UK capital will remain unchanged.

However, if her pregnancy drags on she may decide to visit her parents in Bucklebury, Berkshire, or may even choose to stay at Anmer Hall, the royal couple's newly-refurbished country home in Norfolk.

As a result, two local hospitals – the Royal Berkshire in Reading and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn in Norfolk – have been put on standby, with the Duchess of Cambridge's obstetricians advised that they could be summoned to either location, according to 'The Daily Telegraph'.

If the new baby is born outside London, he or she would become the first member of the British royal family born outside London since Princess Margaret, Queen Elizabeth II's sister, was delivered at Glamis Castle in Scotland in 1930. The Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry were both born at St Mary's in London, as was Prince George most recently.

His grandfather Prince Charles and his brothers, Prince Edward and Prince Andrew, were delivered at Buckingham Palace, while Charles' sister Princess Anne was born at Clarence House.
