Kate Middleton News: Duchess Of Cambridge Has 23 Medical Staff When She Delivers Princess Charlotte

Kate Middleton and Prince William revealed that they employed 23 medical staff to assist the Duchess of Cambridge's delivery of Princess Charlotte in May. The Royal couple called on some of the College Healthcare team who remained "on call" on the birth of their second child and Prince George at the Buckingham Palace garden party on Tuesday.

Kate Middleton and Prince William gave their gratitude to the medical team that helped her in her labor at London's St. Mary's Hospital in 2013 and 2015. This was the same hospice where Princess Diana gave birth to the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry, according to People.

Tiong Ghee Teoh, the consultant obstetrician and gynecologist, told the reporters that he was the "back-up" of Guy Thorpe-Beeston, who was responsible for the delivery of Princess Charlotte. He revealed that they were composed of a big on call group for three months in case Kate Middleton needed their help.

The medical staff stayed on alert whenever something went wrong. They were made of people who had their own area of expertise to cater whatever Kate Middleton might need.

"Everyone was sworn to secrecy," Tiong Ghee Teoh revealed. The anesthesiologist Dr. Johanna Bray, on the other hand, added that they weren't really present when Kate Middleton was giving birth, but they were the reinforcements.

Independent.ie reported Dr. Johanna Bray explained that they needed to be always available and nearby Kate Middleton that time. "If you are at a party you need to have your car keys at the ready. No drinking!" she continued.

Kate Middleton's medical staff was made up two obstetricians, three midwives, three anesthetists and four surgical staff, as per Daily Mail. Also, it had two special care baby unit staff, four pediatricians, one lab technician and three to four managers.

The medical team cleared that every woman giving birth has the same group that would look after them. However, as part of the Royal family, Kate Middleton had most of the consultants all committed to her.
