This Couple Found Out What Happens When You Give Birth in the Same Place as Kate Middleton
It may feel like Kate Middleton and Prince William are the only parents welcoming a new baby today, but that’s not the case. In fact, one British woman gave birth at the same hospital as Middleton—and around the same time, too. As a result, she accidentally received the royal baby media treatment.
An unsuspecting couple not connected to the royal family emerged from the Lindo Wing at St. Mary’s Hospital, where Middleton gave birth, on Monday (April 23), and they were met with a crowd of photographers who were all eagerly awaiting the public debut of Middleton and Prince William’s new son..
Emily Nash, a reporter for Hello! magazine, captured the shell-shocked faces of the parents holding their baby carrier and facing down the paparazzi. “Gotta feel for these new parents who have just emerged with their newborn to a sea of cameras,” Nash captioned her pic.
The Lindo Wing at St. Mary’s Hospital has been the backdrop for the first snapshots of both Prince George and Princess Charlotte. The archway with the name etched into the stone has been associated with royal babies for decades. Prince William and Prince Harry were even photographed in front of it as newborns with Princess Diana and Prince Charles.
The Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to her third child on Monday morning, April 23. Kensington Palace tweeted out an official statement with a few details about the latest addition to the royal family: “The baby weighs 8lbs 7oz. The Duke of Cambridge was present for the birth. Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well.”
