All eyes are fixed on St Mary's hospital with speculation the royal baby could be born any day now.
THE wait for Kate is to go on again this week with the Duchess of Cambridge disappointing fans and the world press that had gathered in central London expecting her to be going into labour.
Yesterday was widely believed to be the day Kate would give birth to the third in line to the throne but there was no movement at Kensington Palace nor the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital where Kate is excepted to arrive ... sometime soon.
The birth has been planned meticulously by the palace, down to the minute a royal courier is to receive the certificate signed by all the doctors confirming the veracity of the birth and carry it with a police escort to Buckingham Palace to place on an ornate easel by the front gate to announce the birth to the world.
The police were ready, palace staff were prepared, Prince William has an encrypted mobile phone ready at his side to personally inform the Queen, but in the end mother nature reminded all it was still in charge. Kate is expecting to have a natural birth.
The palace has never given a formal due date for the baby but royal sources had said it was to be on the weekend.
A small crowd of locals had gathered outside the Paddington hospital as had a large contingent of media but as the mercury hit 31 degrees in central London, all retreated for nearby eateries and pubs.
That left police to largely look over the media's abandoned camera tripods and stepladders baking in the sun.
Meanwhile, while bookmakers are still taking bets on more than a dozen possible names for the royal bub, the Royal Mint is apparently taking a punt with George.
The Mint plans to recognise the eagerly awaited arrival with a new five pound coin bearing an image of St George and the dragon. The silver commemorative coin will be based on the original gold sovereign first used in 1817.
