Prince William is officially on leave after finishing the initial phase of training for his new job, which means that he will be at his wife’s side until after she had given birth. He will be off duty until 1 June following his paternity leave and a pre-planned period of official royal engagements in late May.
A Kensington Palace spokesman said: "As he now will not have any further training to complete after returning from paternity leave, he will not return to duties with Bond until that time, and will remain on unpaid leave until then."
Although there has not been any official announcement about when the Duchess of Cambridge will give birth, she told a volunteer at a children’s centre in March she was expecting to deliver the baby from mid to late April.
