Wait goes on for Britain’s ‘Waity Katie’
View(s):LONDON, Greater London (AFP) -Britain’s Duchess of Cambridge was dubbed “Waity Katie” before Prince William finally proposed to her. And the nickname has resurfaced as the wait for her to give birth drags on. The baby set one day to inherit the British throne was officially due in mid-July, but as the days tick by, boredom, panic and acts of nonsense are creeping in.
The media encampment outside St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, central London, where Catherine is due to give birth, is getting twitchy, not to say restless. Any sudden movement of vehicles gets the pulse racing. The scene was livened up Friday when a five-strong group of women wearing Kate masks posed on the hospital steps.
And an old-fashioned, sit-on toy car was delivered, wrapped in a red, white and blue bow. Royal supporter Terry Hutt was still there, spending a ninth day camped out on a bench decked in Union Jack regalia with some home-made placards.
The Sun and The Daily Telegraph have live streaming video from outside the hospital on their websites — just in case anything interesting happens.
