Britain's Duchess of Cambridge's due date is reportedly today (19.07.13).
The Duchess - who is set to welcome her first child into the world with Prince William any day now - was rumoured to be a week over due as it was thought she was expected to give birth last Saturday, but it appears staff at St Mary's Hospital in London - where Kate will go when she goes into labour - were told to be on standby today.
A source told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: "A small number of staff at St Mary's who might be called upon when the Duchess gives birth were told they had to remain teetotal for a month before the due date. They were told the due date was July 19."
The Duchess of Cornwall, William's stepmother, is excited about the new arrival and is hoping the royal baby will be welcomed into the world in the next few days.
She said previously: "We don't know what's going to happen. We're all waiting at the end of a telephone.
"I hope by the end of the week he or she will be there."
The media has been camped outside the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital in London, where Catherine is due to give birth, since early July.
