Duke and Duchess of Cambridge face heartbreak as guru who taught William how to fit a car seat reportedly passes away

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have received some very sad news following the death of an antenatal guru who prepared the royal couple for the birth of their first child. Christine Hill ran antenatal classes for the stars from the security of her West London home, and has reportedly died aged 74.

Christine's initimate sessions were attended twice by the Duchess of Cambridge, with Prince William accompanying his wife on one occasion in the run up to their eldest son, Prince George's birth, reports The Mirror. Before George came along, one of the most crucial tasks William got the hang of was fitting a baby's car seat into the back of a car, which can be a very difficult operation.

The death of Mrs Hill was announced in the Daily Mail's Eden Confidential column, with a representative of her family telling the publication: "She will be achingly missed. Her feisty, amusing, straightforward demeanour won her many friends."
