Twitter reacts to #RoyalBaby news, and it is pretty damn sarcastic

Sep 4, 2017

So, in case you've yet to hear, Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge is expecting her third child with her husband, Prince William.

The royal couple, who are parents to four-year-old Prince George and two-year-old Princess Charlotte, were the subject of much excitement this morning when Kensington Palace announced the news on Twitter.

And while thousands upon thousands of people celebrated the announcement this morning, small sections of the internet were (unsurprisingly) all about the saltiness.

We mean, take a look for yourselves…

1. Ouch.

Just stating now that I think 'Prince William and his 3 children' should instead be known as 'Baldilocks and the 3 heirs'#royalbaby

2. Right, so.

I don't see why Kate's getting all this news coverage when Tian Tian the panda is up the duff. #RoyalBaby

3. How do you really feel?

Hearing the #royalbaby news reminds me of the time they announced they were expecting Prince George. I didn't give a fuck about that either.

Another one?! Don't the Duke and Duchess have a television? #royalbaby

5. Ah, heir!

One can confirm that the Duchess of Cambridge is expecting her third child. Prince William needs all the heir he can get. #RoyalBaby

6. Fine, so.

The royal baby couldn't be more irrelevant if it was on another planet. #royalbaby pic.twitter.com/GI0nT5nsg3

7. Fair enough.

Another royal baby. Can't wait for 48hours of solid news coverage of what is essentially two people successfully shagging…#royalbaby
