Kate Middleton Goes Into labour... As World Awaits Arrival Of New Royal Baby

The Duchess of Cambridge is 'progressing normally' in the early stages of labour after being admitted to the hospital at 6am before the birth of her second child. 

A Kensington Palace spokesman provided the update at around 8am, some two hours after Kate was driven to the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital with the Duke of Cambridge. 

The Duchess was around a week overdue and there has been much speculation all week that she may have to be induced.
