Kate and William have planned the birth down to the minute.

‘The hospital will get only five minutes’ notice ahead of Kate’s arrival,’ shared the source. The tight timeline is designed ‘to prevent anyone being tipped off that she’ll be leaving home.’

Once the royal bub has arrived, the plan is reportedly to get him or her home to the family’s home at Kensington Palace as soon as possible.

‘Depending on how Kate feels,’ said the source, ‘it’s hoped she can return home the same day or the following morning.’
