It has been the most closely guarded secret surrounding the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton’s pregnancy – the day on which the Royal baby is expected to be born.
But now The Mail on Sunday can disclose that Kate has been given an official due date of July 13.
Mystery has shrouded the expected date of birth ever since Kate was rushed into the King Edward VII hospital with severe morning sickness in December, early in the pregnancy.
Because of her illness, the Palace was forced to announce she was expecting before she had undergone her 12-week scan.
It meant no one outside Kate and William’s close circle knew exactly how far the pregnancy had progressed.
A friend of the pair revealed: ‘Some of Kate and William’s closest pals were at a barbecue hosted by a family friend of the Royals recently.

'They were all discussing the fact that Kate’s baby is due to be born on July 13. Everyone was very excited.’
Unfortunately, the birth due date falls in the middle of the Coronation Festival, a four-day celebration to mark 60 years since the Queen was crowned, 16 months after being proclaimed Monarch on her father’s death.
The festival, expected to rival last year’s jubilee revelries, runs from July 11 to July 14 – meaning William and Kate are almost sure to miss out.
