Speculation is mounting that Kate has been swimming at Buckingham Palace's pool for the second day running to help bring on labour naturally.
Following her swimming trip with George yesterday, Kate was seen driving into Buckingham Palace again tonight, but this time with husband William.
The couple were spotted in the morning entering the gates of the central London palace, causing speculation she was going for another swim.
Swimming is thought to be a beneficial exercise in pregnancy as it takes weight off the body.
It has also been suggested it can help bring on labour.
The Queen was not in residence at Buckingham Palace she is holding court in Windsor.
In anticipation of a longer wait for the world's media, who are starting to congregate in ever increasing numbers near London's St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, Westminster Council have extended parking restrictions in the area into next month.
Kate will give birth at the hospital's private maternity unit, the Lindo Wing, and the local authority have lengthened the suspension of parking outside the wing by five days.
The restrictions began on April 15 and were due to run out on April 30.
They will now end on Tuesday May 5, but could be extended again if there is no sign of the new prince or princess by then.
Fewer than one in 20 women give birth on their due date.
On the NHS, induction is offered to women who are 10 to 12 days overdue.
Kate said earlier in the year her baby would arrive mid to late April but she appears no nearer to going into labour, especially after she was photographed driving herself away from Buckingham Palace yesterday having taken Prince George for a swim.
