"The world&amp;#039;s press are descending in their hordes on the hospital in Central London where the Duchess of Cambridge is due to give birth.   Photographers and TV crews from across the globe have begun to assemble in anticipation outside the Lindo Wing of St Mary&amp;#039;s Hospital in Paddington, where Prince William was born back in 1982.  A press pen has been erected by the hospital at a safe distance and on the other side of the street from the building, with metal seats and ladders being placed in the designated area by the media. The 31-year-old is due to give birth to her first child with Prince William later this month, a fact confirmed by a royal spokesperson earlier this year.  It has since been reported that the royal couple had been overheard discussing the due date as July 13, with a source telling a tabloid: &amp;quot;Some of Kate and William&amp;#039;s closest pals were at a barbecue hosted by a family friend of the royals recently. &amp;quot;They were all discussing the fact that Kate&amp;#039;s baby is due to be born on July 13. Everyone was very excited.&amp;quot; Kate Middleton and William reportedly don&amp;#039;t know whether they are expecting a son or daughter. Royal officials have revealed that the birth will be announced at Buckingham Palace&amp;#039;s gates, with the Queen, the Middleton family and other senior royals being informed of the baby news before it&amp;#039;s eventually made public.
