Queen Elizabeth II's press secretary, Commdr Richard Colville, said tonight that the queen's baby "was not imminent," according to the New York Times. The announcement was made "to the crowd waiting in the windswept area before Buckingham Palace."
The queen's gynecoligst, John Harald Peel, is spending the night at the palace, and he and two other physicians in attendance visited the this evening. All three doctors dined at the palace. The queen's anesthetist also called on the Queen in the morning, but he has not remained at the palace.
The crowds cheered when the Duke of Edinburgh departed the palace to attend a luncheon in honor of the Duke and other members of the royal family "who had been overseas recently."
The Duke apologized for his wife's absensce. "As you will realize she has other matters to attend to."
