UNION JACK THE LAD

Kate Middleton and Prince William superfan has set up this VERY patriotic campsite outside the Lindo Wing ahead of Royal baby birth

CLAD in Union Jacks, Kate and Wills' biggest fan can't wait for the arrival of the couple's third bundle of joy.

Terry Hutt, 83, is already camping outside the Lindo Wing - ready to greet the future fifth-in-line to the throne.

The pensioner, whose whole home is crammed with memorabilia, has long been obsessed with the royal family, with his passion sparked when he met the Queen mother when he was just four-years-old.

He has since been on the scene for almost every big royal event, including births and funerals, for the best part of half a century.

And with his intimate knowledge of the family's comings and goings, he even predicted the next big royal event last year.

Speaking with Hello magazine in July last year, Mr Hutt guessed: "Prince Harry's wedding could be the next big event, or it could be another baby."

Now, Prince William and wife Kate are expecting their third baby, while Prince Harry will tie the knot with US actress Meghan Markle next month.

Now fellow royal baby watchers, including Maria Scott, 46, from Newcastle, John Loughrey, 63, from Streatham, are ready for the third royal baby - bringing their own baby doll, Philip.

Mr Hutt has already spent nine days braving the weather outside St Mary’s hospital, Paddington, in the hope of seeing Kate and Wills.

But he hasn't been far away from the royals, regularly sending them gifts - including a toy dog wearing a Union Jack for Prince George.

And he can even claim to be a friend - having met the monarch more times than any other member of the public.

He previously : "I've never been to the tea party they throw for pensioners, but I'd like to be there and pour the Queen a cup of tea.

"Kate Middleton poured me a cuppa once. The Queen calls me Union Jack Man.

"She usually gets out of her car and makes a point of speaking to me."

Terry has also made sure to pay homage to the royals at his own home, covering an entire room with photographs of the royal family.

Photographs of Terry meeting the royals feature on the wall, including a letter that he received from Her Majesty in 2010.

His favourite royal family member was Diana, with the elderly man spending a week outside Buckingham Palace helping to clear bouquets.
