With just over seven months to go until he becomes a father for the second time, the Duke of Cambridge has clearly decided some extra help is required. During an investiture at Windsor Castle, a 'charming' Prince William asked one of the nation’s most senior midwives if she would like to 'come and help' him and his wife. Professor Lesley Page, president of the Royal College of Midwives spoke to the royal about the Duchess of Cambridge’s pregnancy when he presented her with a CBE.
'Well I’m a midwife so he talked about Catherine’s pregnancy,' explained Professor Page following the investiture. 'We talked about my being a midwife for well over 30 years and what’s changed, and what I’m doing now after becoming president of the Royal College of Midwives.' Asked whether she gave the prince any advice, she said: 'I almost said to him the second is much easier but I don’t think I quite got that out.
'He actually said to me, "Would you like to come and help us?"' Unsurprisingly, Professor Page's response was: 'Yes, of course.' Professor Page received her CBE for services to midwifery and delightedly told journalists afterwards that she is 'very proud' of her profession.
