"Royal Baby Watch" is definitely in full swing today considering July 11 has been rumored to be the official due date of Kate Middleton for quite some time now. But if she does not deliver the future heir to the throne, that reports about today being the due date were false. Kate still has plenty of dates in the "mid-July" range that the Buckingham Palace announced earlier in 2013. But if she does give birth within the next few days, her husband might be missing it for a Polo match.

 According to reports, the Duke of Cambridge was apparently debating about whether to participate in a charity Polo match at the Cirencester Polo Club, which is over 100 miles away from his home, but decided at the last minute to play this weekend.

"Initially his office said yes, then said no, and have now confirmed that he will be playing," a source explained to the Daily Mail. "I think he was torn as, clearly, he wants to be with his wife at such an important time, but was all too aware how much the event raises for charities he is passionate about."

If Kate goes into labor while Wills is playing the charity match, he will leave immediately and be accompanied by a police escort. Meanwhile, Kate has been staying at their home at Kensington Palace before her labor.

Prince William wouldn't make plans on his wife's due date, right? So clearly it isn't this weekend. But  when is it?

There are plenty of things that the public does not know about this highly anticipated birth, but according to the Royal Family, Kate and William know just a little more than we do.

They probably know the exact due date but will not release that information to the public. The palace also said that the royal couple does not know the gender of their child; so therefore don't have a name picked out just yet. So we're all in a similar boat, it seems!

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, will be delivering her first child any day now at St. Mary's Hospital's Lindo Wing. This is the same wing where the late Princess Diana delivered Princes William and Harry.
