Crowds await birth of child to Queen Elizabeth

February 17, 1960

The crowds continue to grow outside Buckingham Palace as the arrival of another nurse at Buckingham Palace "was the only news available to an increasingly jittery public."
Queen Elizabeth II is expecting her third child, which will be the first "to be born to a reigning monarchy since 1857," when Queen Victoria gave birth to Princess Beatrice.
The Queen's doctors do not expect to visit the palace tonight, and she will continue to carry out her duties.
Elizabeth is expected to give birth within the next few days.
