If she is due this Saturday, April 27, that would have made her 12 weeks on Eugenie's wedding, and late April/Early May delivery. I think she's due today, more likely.
Maybe things are less aggressive in the UK, but letting an advanced maternal age first time mother go to 42 weeks would not be typical in the US, more like concern after a few days over. and I doubt they would let one go more than a week.
Going to 42 weeks in the US isn't uncommon at all. It does seem very much to depend on the health and wellbeing of the mother and child, and possibly, the philosophy of the health provider. It may also be a regional thing.
Edited to add: I see you are specifically referencing the advanced maternal age, and you may be right on that, considering Meghan's age.
