Kate “in the early stages of labour”

At 06.00 hours BST, The Duchess of Cambridge was admitted to the Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital in the early stages of labour.  Kensington Palace have confirmed the news via Twitter:

HRH The Duchess of Cambridge was admitted at 06.00hrs to St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, London and is in the early stages of labour.

— The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (@KensingtonRoyal) May 2, 2015

Despite exciting reports of “convoys” of vehicles leaving the palace all week and Ambulances blocking up nearby roads sparking rumours, Kate’s admittance to the hospital was far more routine:

The Duchess travelled by car from Kensington Palace to the Lindo Wing at St. Mary’s Hospital with The Duke of Cambridge.
