It’s one of the world’s most vibrant cities but right now there are only two things happening in London: the royal family’s wait for it’s newest member and the Ashes.
The two collided today as the Queen greeted Australian and British cricketers at Lord’s ahead of the series’ second test.
Play was delayed by 15 minutes to make way for the monarch who stepped on to the green to cheerily greet players, not giving away which of countries the Queen reins over she would be barracking for on the day.
The Queen stayed long enough to see England lose three early wickets but her hurried departure fueled royal baby rumours.
Some speculating the sovereign may have made a dash to fulfill family duties with her great-grandchild, the first child of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, due any day now.
As soon as she left her seat, social media buzzed with speculation and news helicopters spotted from Kensington Palace where The Weekly was stationed hovered hopefully around Paddington where Kate is to give birth.
The Queen yesterday suggested she was just as eager for the little Prince or Princess to arrive as the enthusiastic press pack stationed outside St Mary’s hospital, hoping the royal baby would be born within the week before she goes on holiday.
The appearance at Lord’s was one of the Queen’s final before she departs to Scotland for her annual summer retreat at her residence in Balmoral.
But alas, still no sign of baby.
