The Duchess of Cambridge has been admitted to St Mary's Hospital in London in the early stages of labour, Kensington Palace said today.
She travelled by car from Kensington Palace to the Lindo Wing of the hospital with the Duke of Cambridge.
The world's press have been camped outside St Mary's in Paddington for days in anticipation of the birth.
The news that what had been dubbed by bored journalists 'the Great Kate Wait' was finally over was announced in a brief statement from Kensington Palace at 7.30am after rumours she had been spotted began circulating.
The statement read: "Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge has been admitted this morning to St Mary's Hospital, Paddington, London, in the early stages of labour.
"The Duchess travelled by car from Kensington Palace to the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital with The Duke of Cambridge."
There was a strong police presence around the hospital and two police officers guarded the entrance to the private wing.
Kate and William, who spent the weekend at Kensington Palace, traveled without a police escort, their spokesman said.
He added: "Things are progressing as normal."
