Prince William and Duchess Catherine have stayed pretty tight-lipped on the details surrounding their third child, other than confirming the new prince or princess is due sometime in April.
But now according to a fresh report by UK paper The Sun, Duchess Catherine’s due date could fall on a very patriotic holiday.
The publication claims the royal couple will welcome their bundle of joy “on or around” St George’s Day on Monday, April 23rd.
St George’s Day is celebrated by Christian denominations around the world and honours the Feast of Saint George.
Like Prince George and Princess Charlotte, Kate and William have reportedly decided not to find out the gender of their baby, The Sun also reports.
It’s also claimed she’ll give birth at the Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital in London, just like she did with her two other babies.
“There’s no certainty with due dates of course but the Duchess is working off a date around St George’s Day and it would be a lovely patriotic coincidence if he or she were born then,” an insider explained.
Kate is reportedly due around April 23rd.
“The one thing that is certain though, if it’s a boy he won’t be called George! Prince George has already taken that one.”
“Or if she’s very late, as she was with George’s birth, she could even make it a very special wedding anniversary present to William, as they celebrate seven years of marriage on the 29th April,” the source continued.
Just last month the bookies were convinced the Duchess was expecting a daughter, updating their name predictions to Princess Mary.
But in the last few weeks, the 36-year-old has stepped out donning blue to a number of official occasions and thus sending the bookies into a spin so they’ve now reverted back to a boy!

A hint in blue? The bookies have updated their bets and now think she’s expecting a boy.
“Punters have been convinced Kate is expecting another girl, but her head-to-toe blue outfits could start to change public opinion, and the odds, very quickly,” Ladbroke’s Jessica Bridge explained.
However, many royal watchers have pointed out that if Kate is indeed due around April 23rd it won’t give her much time to recover for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s wedding just three weeks later.
After her May 2nd birth with Princess Charlotte in 2015, Catherine made her first public appearance six weeks later at the annual Trooping the Colour parade.
This family of four is about to become a party of five!
