Prince William is due at the Cenotaph on the same day the Duchess of Cambridge is due to give birth . Prince William is due to accompany the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh on an official engagement next Saturday – the same day his wife is reportedly expected to give birth . Despite the clash , the Duke of Cambridge plans to do ‘ everything he can ’ to be at the official commemorations to mark the centenary of the Gallipoli and Anzac campaigns at the Cenotaph on April 25 , Kensington Palace said yesterday . A spokesman for William said : ‘ The Duke ’ s intention is to be at the commemorations . Being the 100th anniversary , it is very important to him. ’ Although her due date has not officially been confirmed , the Duchess of Cambridge told wellwishers at a charity event last month : ‘ I ’ m due mid-April , to the end of April. ’ Palace sources later said the actual date was April 25 . The Duke committed to being present at the commemorations in February and , according to aides , plans to play things by ear . ‘ We will have to see what happens , ’ said a senior aide . ‘ The Duchess has said the baby is due the second half of the month but we don ’ t know exactly when the baby will arrive. ’ Should Kate , 33 , go into labour while the Duke is at work , he faces a dash across the country to get to St Mary ’ s Hospital in West London in time . He is currently training for his new job as an Air Ambulance pilot at three airbases in Cambridge , Norwich or Gloucestershire . Despite reports that there is a helicopter on stand-by , the Duke , 32 , will make the journey by car instead . The Mail on Sunday has also learned there will be a new line-up in the delivery room at St Mary ’ s Lindo Wing for the couple ’ s second child . Leading obstetrician Guy Thorpe-Beeston will be in charge of the birth , a spokesman for the couple confirmed , assisted by the Queen ’ s Surgeon-Gynaecologist Alan Farthing , who had been tipped to take the lead role . Mr Farthing was second-in-command to the now retired Sir Marcus Setchell at the birth of the Royal couple ’ s first child , George . William is currently training for his new job as an Air Ambulance pilot at three airbases in Cambridge , Norwich or Gloucestershire . ‘ Both names will be on the notice of birth posted outside Buckingham Palace , but it will be Guy Thorpe-Beeston who will take charge , ’ the spokesman added . ‘ He ’ s an obstetrics specialist and that ’ s why he ’ s in the lead. ’ Mr Thorpe-Beeston , a specialist in high-risk pregnancies , works at London ’ s private Portland Hospital and on Harley Street , where he has 18 years ’ experience . He was made Surgeon-Gynaecologist to the Royal Household last year following his role in the delivery of George on July 22 , 2013 , also at the Lindo Wing . The consultant – who is believed to have looked after Kate when she was sick with hyperemesis gravidarum during her first trimester – will be the first person the Duchess calls when she goes into labour . He has cleared his diary so he can be solely on call . Mr Farthing , 51 , who was engaged to TV presenter Jill Dando at the time of her murder , is a specialist in gynaecological cancer care . He has a private Harley Street practice . Mulberry double breasted pink coat . Sold out ! Click to check out the current collection ! Visit site .
