Technicians are ready to fit out a complete delivery room in one wing if, as anticipated, the 33-year-old Queen decides to have the baby in Buckingham Palace. And the daughter of a Merseyside policeman, Mabel Anderson, taken on as an assistant nanny at Charles' birth because she was the "only applicant...
