Princess to meet babies

THE Princess Royal is set to meet midwives, mothers and babies at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary next week.

In her role as Patron of the Royal College of Midwives, she will visit the midwife-led Lothian Birth Centre on Monday morning.

President of the RCM Lesley Page said: “I am delighted that the Princess Royal is making this visit.

“It is a wonderful opportunity to show her midwife-led care in action in Edinburgh, and how this can benefit mothers, babies and their families and provide them with long-term health benefits.”
