We wouldn’t mind it for a weekend getaway!
With Kate Middleton due to give birth any day now, we’re suddenly feeling very jealous of the treatment she’ll get during her stay at St Mary’s Hospital in London.
A British mum who gave birth at the Lindo Wing at the hospital has spoken about the five-star treatment the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge can expect this time around.
Georgie McGrath told US Weekly about what your money (prices start at £5,900, or €6,710, for a night’s stay with consultant-led care) buys you at England’s most famous hospital.
“”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.
And there’ll be no need for William to pop out for a takeaway:”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.”
Will and Kate can also enjoy their own waiter service, Wifi and a daily newspaper of their choice.
Both William and Prince Harry were also born at the hospital, with Kate once again expected to make a public appearance on the steps as she leaves, just as Princess Diana did in June of 1982 as she left with William and later once again with Harry.
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.
