Royal baby fever kicked off on Dec. 3 of last year, the day the royals shared the news with an official statement on their site. Along with the announcement, the royals also expressed their excitement, saying, "The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry and members of both families are delighted with the news."

With so much buzz about the royal baby, people across the world are busy betting on potential names. British bookies have a baby-name spread with odds based on patterns within the royal family and speculation over which names would mean most to the couple. POPSUGAR readers have weighed in, too, sharing their picks in our baby-name poll. The current favorites? Alexandra and Diana.
Kate and Will have had plenty of sweet moments with kids through the years. With duties that involve charity efforts and working with children, the parents-to-be have shown again and again just how great they are at interacting with little ones.
From the official birth announcement (on an easel!) to Prince Harry's uncle duties, we're already planning ahead with a look at the royal baby's first year. On our radar: a hospital photo op, the choosing of godparents, official tours, and — of course — Prince Harry's adorable uncle moments.
The Duchess of Cambridge wore several stylish maternity ensembles throughout her pregnancy, and POPSUGAR Fashion got all the details when she wowed once more with a statement coat for her final prebaby appearance. While christening a Princess Cruises ship in Southampton, England, Kate Middleton wore a Dalmatian-print Hobbs coat with black pumps and a coordinating fascinator.
POPSUGAR Moms shared a look at Grosvenor House, a London hotel that transformed a room into the "Suite Dreams" nursery. To design the British-inspired suite, the hotel teamed up with the Dragons of Walton Street shop — the decorator of choice for Prince William's, Prince Harry's, and their cousins Princess Beatrice's and Princess Eugenie's nurseries.

Of course, this isn't the first royal baby. Through the years, there have been lots of adorable little princes and princesses around the world, including Prince Harry, three sweet Dutch sisters, and Monaco's Prince Albert seen in mother Grace Kelly's arms.
In early June, Kate Middleton made her final prebaby public appearance at the Trooping the Colour parade in London, wrapping up several months of stylish pregnant appearances. Throughout the year, she's stepped out for official visits, weddings, royal events, and a tour of a Harry Potter set in London. Next up: a hospital photo op!
With the Duchess's rumored due date just days away, the royal family is preparing for the royal baby's birth. While Kate Middleton is staying at Nottingham Cottage on the grounds of London's Kensington Palace, Prince William is continuing with his usual work duties.
