November 12, 1948
Crowds have begun to gather outside Buckingham Palace in anticipation of the forthcoming royal birth. Nothing has transpired regarding the "great event," as Princess Elizabeth and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh left the palace tonight for dinner with Lord and Lady Brabourne. The Duke of Edinburgh and Lady Brabourne - the former Lady Patricia Mountbatten - are first cousins.
The Princess' doctors have pronounced her in "excellent health," It is the view of Sir William Gilliat, the princess' gynecologist, that the baby, who will be second in line to the throne, will be born tomorrow or the next day.
