Inside £6.6k maternity ward where Binky Felstead and Kate Middleton have given birth

Binky Felstead has welcomed her third child, and the Made in Chelsea star did so in plush surroundings.

Binky, 32, and her husband Max were overjoyed to meet their son, and their second child together, when she gave birth on Saturday.

The TV star, who is already proud mum to daughter India, five, and son Wolfie, one, gave birth at the private Lindo Wing Maternity at St Mary's Hospital in London, with former clients including Princess Kate and Princess Diana.

According to the hospital's price list, a consultant-led, normal delivery costs £6,625, excluding consultant fees, and £8,300 for a caesarian section.

As well as the midwife assessment, delivery, accommodation and nursery care, the package includes a celebration afternoon tea and a complimentary gift.

The hospital can also arrange for complementary therapies, and hair and beauty treatments and coordinate gourmet food delivery, personal chefs or housekeepers.

The hospital can also arrange additional security arrangements if needed.

Kate's suite had blackout curtains to ensure her privacy, it's believed, and fresh flowers.

Clients can reportedly expect a cooked breakfast each day of their stay.

The rooms come with a fridge, satellite TV, a safe and a bedside phone. Newspapers are also delivered and there is a wine list for celebrating mothers and their delighted families.

Clients can also personalise the decor in the room and select their linens.

The Princess of Wales has given birth to all three of her children at the Lindo Wing, and Princess Diana welcomed Prince William and Harry there.

The Princess Royal also gave birth to her children, Peter Phillips and Zara Tindal there.

Binky's husband Max took to Instagram to announce they had a second son, posting a photo of her and calling her a "champion" in the caption.

In her own post, Binky took to Instagram to share the exciting news alongside a sweet video documenting her journey, alongside the caption: "15.04.23. 10:45pm!

"Couldn’t be happier he’s just perfect, we now have three musketeers."

The other private hospital the well-known and famous opt for is the Portland Hospital in London, used by Meghan Markle,

Victoria Beckham, Liz Hurley and Dani Dyer, Katherine Ryan, and Princess Eugenie to name a few.

It was recently in the spotlight when Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury opted to welcome their daughter, Bambi, there.

Birth packages at the hospital start from £15,000 and can go up to £30,000, meaning parents spare no expense.

Portland Hospitals offers mums a meal after their birth, with champagne, lobster and foie gras if they wish.

The tots are given £3,500 Moses baskets which have been designed by a luxury furniture brand as well as a four-poster Little Duchess cot, reported to be worth £14,000.

The mums do not share a ward, and following the birth they are given their own private rooms with a bed for their partner to stay in.
