				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Water-breakage news just in&#8230; It is with a joyous heart that I can report that this morning, at 7.45 local time, the Duke and Duchess of Middleton booked into Beckworth General Hospital as Mrs Kate has gone into labour. A hospital source said <strong>Princess Middleton</strong>&#8216;s waters had broken on a visit to <strong>Lidl</strong> and she looked radiant as her husband <strong>Prince William</strong> had porters transport them both on trolleys to the newly cleaned maternity wing. Members of the Royal family and parliament are expected to attend the birth and have already started arriving. Many, like <strong>the Queen</strong> and <strong>Duke Phillip</strong> of Greece, have come on horse back. According to tradition all members of court will be present at the birth of the future Prince/Princess and portaloos have been installed in the hospital car park so the VIPs have somewhere to rest between contractions. Kate and Williams&#8217; favourite entertainers <strong>Michael Mcintyre</strong> and <strong>Lenny Henry</strong> are said to be unavailable to perform as court jesters and so <strong>Jo brand</strong> has been drafted in at the last moment. As is customary at state occasions <strong>Sue Perkins</strong> and <strong>David Mitchell</strong> will be on hand to add extra gravitas and ensure blanket media coverage, with Mrs Kate&#8217;s Uncle <strong>Boris Johnson</strong> installed at the foot of the bed to keep the world posted on twitter, contraction by contraction. And for those of you who prefer your graphic details in more than 140 characters I will keep you informed about the birth utilising the many “spies” I have at Princess Middleton&#8217;s bedside in the hospital.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello all. It is with a joyous heart that I can report that this morning, at 5.45 local time, the Duke and Duchess of Wales booked into Beckworth General Hospital as Mrs Wales has gone into labour. A hospital source said <strong>Kate Middleton</strong> was fully dilated and looked radient as her husband <strong>Prince William</strong> got porters to transport them both in wheelchairs to the newly painted maternity wing. All morning the Royal family and members of court and parliament have arrived in hired minibuses to attend the birth. According to tradition all will be present at the birth of the future monarch and to accommadte them specially rented portacabins have been installed in the hospital car park. Kate and Williams favourite entertainers <strong>Michael Mcintyre</strong> and <strong>Lenny Henry</strong> will keep her distracted during the birth, as court jesters have done for centuries, and of course <strong>Sue Perkins</strong> and <strong>David Mitchell</strong> will be there to give the occassion extra gravitas and ensure blanket media coverage. Friend of the Royal couple <strong>Steven Fry</strong> has been installed at the foot of the bed and will keep the world posted on twitter, contraction by contraction. And for those of you who prefer your graphic details in more than 140 characters I will keep you informed about the birth utilising the many &#8220;spies&#8221; I have at Mrs Wales bedside in the hospital.
