Less than a month before the royal baby’s due date, new details of the Duchess of Cambridge’s (aka Kate Middleton) birth plan and how the child’s arrival will be announced have been released.
Prince William and the Duchess don't know the sex of their baby and want to be surprised when he or she is born. Regardless of gender, the baby will be third in line heir to the British throne.
