Did Amal pay £120k to have her twins at royal hospital?
‘Staff sworn to secrecy’
THEY are showbusiness royalty. So it is only fitting George and Amal Clooney’s twins were delivered in the very birthing suite where both Prince George and Princess Charlotte were born.
Little Alexander and Ella Clooney came into the world at the ultra-exclusive Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington after Clooney paid for three adjacent rooms. According to prices listed on the official hospital website, rooms cost upwards of £5,700 a night, working out at more than £17,000 for the three suites combined – or a staggering £119,000 for the week.
While one was reserved for the human rights lawyer, 39, and the two new arrivals, the second was for the Oscar-winning actor, 56, and visiting guests, and the third for the couple’s security staff.
The three suites are understood to be the very same as the ones all the Royal babies – including Princes William and Harry – were born in due to the usefulness of the adjoining doors and, crucially, to ensure the family’s location could remain secret from the outside world.
Indeed, according to all previous reports, the Clooneys were thought to be staying at the Chelsea and Westminster hospital.
Last night a source said: ‘All staff were sworn to secrecy. The rooms were prepared ten days prior to the couple’s arrival with everything from furniture to an in-room entertainment system, and fridges to flowers chosen on behalf of Amal and George to deck out the suites.’ All suites at the Lindo come complete with en suite bathrooms, wifi, a hotelstyle room service and a champagne menu.
The Clooneys themselves have not been seen since the birth of the twins last Tuesday. A spokesman for Clooney confirmed the couple had stayed at the Lindo, and had paid for the stay.
