Royal Baby: Charles Knows 'Absolutely Nothing' The Prince of Wales has told Sky News he knows "absolutely nothing" about news on the birth of the newest member of the Royal Family. Prince Charles was questioned as he arrived at the National Railway Museum in York by steam train at the start of a two-day visit to Yorkshire. As he stepped off the Royal Carriage through clouds of steam to cheers from the crowd, Sky News asked him: "What news of the baby, sir?" He replied: "Absolutely nothing at the moment..." Excitement is building at a private hospital in London after the Duchess of Cambridge was taken there with William at her side. Kensington Palace has confirmed she is in the early stages of labour, after being admitted early this morning. Prince Charles spoke to other well-wishers who had turned out to welcome him. Among them was Alex Dickinson and her sons, Thomas, seven, and Freddie, five, who had travelled from nearby Church Fenton. Ms Dickinson wished him well with the birth of his first grandchild as her children gave him a picture of a giraffe for the baby. "He said 'Thank you very much'," she said. Freddie said he thought the baby was coming in six hours and Charles said 'Yes, it may well be'. Thomas said: "He didn't say anything about if it was a boy or a girl." The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev Justin Welby, wrote on Twitter: "My thoughts and prayers are with Kate and the whole family on this enormously special day." Broadcaster Piers Morgan tweeted: "Keep Calm ... and Carry On. #Kate."
