Future and the Press Association have buddied up to produce a new app in celebration of the imminent arrival of the latest member of the House of Windsor.

The Royal Baby app, launched as the world’s media camps out in West London awaiting the arrival of a purple-liveried stork, will keep HRH fans up to speed on the latest developments.

The app, which comes after the much-hyped but never confirmed due date came and went at the weekend, will also feature exclusive photography of Prince William, the Duchess of Cambridge and, when he or she finally deigns to make an appearance, the baby itself.
