‘Great Kate Wait’ costs punters backing April birth for Royal Baby

At the Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, London, ducks, giant teddy bears, and royal superfans have taken centre stage as the ‘Great Kate Wait’ drags on.

Media from around the world have been gathering at the exclusive private maternity unit and, when not looking out for signs of a development, have kept busy with even the slightest of quirks.

A small flock of ducks landed to join the crowd, attracting a few photographers, and a car had to stop to allow one to cross the road.
