The Duchess of Cambridge is unlikely to have been induced before giving birth to her daughter, experts have said.
Pat O'Brien, a consultant obstetrician at University College Hospital, said that because of the speed with which the baby was delivered, it is more likely the Duchess went into labour naturally.

He said: "The fact that she went into hospital at around 6am and had the baby by 8:34am would not imply that she was induced at all.
"Second time labours tend to be quicker than first time labours. Everything tends to go faster. The dilation stage is quicker, the pushing stage is usually quicker and easier as well, and the baby comes out more quickly.
