LONDON (AP) – Prince William’s wife Kate entered a London hospital Saturday to give birth to their second child, igniting a national wave of anticipation and a last-minute betting spree on the name of the new prince or princess.
The baby will be fourth in line to the throne and the fifth grandchild of Queen Elizabeth II.
In a brief statement, palace officials said the Duchess of Cambridge was admitted at 6 a.m. local time (0500 GMT) Saturday to the exclusive Lindo wing at St. Mary’s Hospital, arriving by car with William.
