Six months after Kate welcomed Prince Louis, Pippa is set to give birth in the same hospital

It costs over €6,000 a night.

We wouldn’t say no to a stay here ourselves, TBH.

With her due date just weeks away, Pippa Middleton is preparing to give birth – and has chosen a fairly swanky hospital.

It’s thought that she will welcome her first child in the Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington in London, where her sister Kate gave birth to all three of her children.

Pippa and her husband James Matthews were spotted coming in and out of the hospital recently so we can be pretty sure that she’ll be following in her sister’s footsteps.

The ward has long been royal-approved – it’s where Princess Diana gave birth to Prince William and Prince Harry.

A stay in the Lindo Wing starts at €6,710 per night and we know exactly what new mums can expect as one previous guest spilled the beans on her stay there.

British mum Georgie McGrath previously told Us Weekly that

“When you arrive, you get given your own room, the floors are carpeted, [there are] fitted cupboards, a TV screen, your own bathroom, a little fridge, curtains, nice duvets on the bed,” says Georgie.

“A menu comes to you every day,” she continued, “and it’s not your normal run of the mill sort of menu, it’s a good menu, yummy food.”

“Our extensive and nutritious menu caters for special dietary, cultural and religious requirements (including vegetarian, kosher and halal meals),” the hospital says.

“With the exception of some specific clinical dietary requirements and kosher meals, our talented chefs prepare all meals on site to order.”

Guests also enjoy their own waiter service, Wifi and a daily newspaper of their choice.

 

Unlike other maternity hospitals, Georgie claims the Lindo Wing place a special emphasis on the couple.

“Once you’ve had your baby they will take the baby for the night and go put him in the nursery and you can have a full-on sort of four-course meal, with champagne and candles and everything like that,” she revealed.

Other celebrities who’ve stayed at the Lindo Wing include George and Amal Clooney, who welcomed their twins there last year.
