Is it a him or a heir? Wills and Kate's baby surprise
Three weeks til birth ... royal couple William and Kate
By EMILY NASH
PRINCE William and heavily pregnant wife Kate do not know if they are expecting a future king or queen, royal aides said last night.
The royal couple will only find out the baby’s gender once he or she is born.
A source said: “The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge do not know the sex of their baby and have decided not to find out beforehand. It will be as much a surprise for them as for the rest of the world.”
The little prince or princess will be delivered in the same hospital where Princess Diana gave birth to William 31 years ago tomorrow.Kate, whose due date is just over three weeks away, is planning to have a natural birth with her husband at her side in the £5,000-a-day private Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, West London.
Wills is on standby at RAF Valley in North Wales — where he is a search and rescue helicopter pilot — to fly back when she goes into labour.
Kate is also likely to be joined by mum Carole and sister Pippa.
Other hospitals have been put on alert in case the Duchess goes into labour outside London.
The baby — third in line to the throne — will be delivered by former royal family gynaecologist Marcus Setchell.
He will be assisted by the Queen’s current gynaecologist, Alan Farthing — the ex-fiancé of murdered TV newsreader Jill Dando.
Bookies last night still had the royal couple odds-on to have a girl.

The 14-year-old from Mexico who attends a posh school in the area, said: “My sisters are very jealous.”
