Asexcitement growsoutside St. Mary s Hospital in London, Ladbrokes, one of Britain’s biggest bookmakers is now putting 4/1 odds on a royal birth not this weekend but on Wednesday, April 29, the couple’s fourth anniversary.
“The signs are that it’s a girl,” she says. “I made this collage with a miniature blue onesie and a pink onesie on Monday, and all day long the blue onesie kept falling off even though I had glued it on. The pink one stayed on perfectly.”
That wasn’t all. Martin experienced a second sign when a blue balloon she had tied up next to a pink one loosened itself and took off.
“Japan is particularly interested in Kate s fashion. It sells out really quickly. Seraphine, the maternity store [Kate favors], opened up in Japan in the last six months.”
There are also some cultural similarities between the two countries – namely a love of formality and royalty.
“The royal family is very familiar to us because we have one also,” says Etsuyo Kawamura, 36, a Japanese journalist who’s been coming to the hospital for four days. “We have a loyalty to them.”
Girl or boy: It won’t be long before we find out, says Terry Hutt, 80, a British man who’s been camping since Monday.
As hardy fans face the possibility of another night sleeping on the pavement, they’re certainly keeping an eye on those finger plates.
