The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge
Britain's Duchess of Cambridge's uncle thinks the royal baby will be a girl.
Gary Goldsmith admitted he hopes his niece Kate Middleton - who is expecting her first child with Prince William - will make history by giving birth to the inaugural, first-born girl to be made queen.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, he said: "My suspicion is that they're having a baby girl. But, of course, I don't know that for fact.
"I believe Kate and William have kept the sex of their child a secret to everyone but themselves ... It would be brilliant, wouldn't it, if they do have a little girl?
"To have one of my family, my niece, making history will be absolutely unbelievable."
The 48-year-old businessman described the British royal couple as "very modern" and speculated they would be "hands-on" as parents.
He added: "They're a very modern couple and I believe William will be as hands-on as Kate with the parenting. That's the genius of it.
"They're modernising the royal family and doing a wonderful job of it."
With the birth of the baby imminent, Gary has given some thought to presents but said he is unsure on a suitable gift.
He admitted: "What do you get the baby who will have everything? I went to Asprey's recently and saw an amazing, huge elephant rocker, like Dumbo, for about £70,000. Or there was a chest of some first edition Tintins.
"But because family is so important to Kate - she is incredibly close to Carole and Pip - I would rather get something personal and more meaningful. Although I did like that elephant."
