It’s a boy!
1. It started this morning, when the official Kensington Palace account announced that Kate is going into labor.
Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge was admitted to St. Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, London earlier this morning in the early stages of labour.
The Duchess travelled by car from Kensington Palace to the Lindo Wing at St. Mary’s Hospital with The Duke of Cambridge.

2. The press gathered across the street from the hospital once again.
And so the door watch begins. The Duchess of Cambridge has gone into labour at the Lindo Wing as we wait for the fifth in line to the throne to be born. Is it going to be a St George’s Day baby?! #royalbabywatch pic.twitter.com/SISOa7t2yU

3. This would make it a truly special day.
I'd love it if Kate Middleton, mid contraction, opened the window to the waiting press below & bellowed a big FUCK OFF.

4. To some, it’s a welcome distraction.

5. Some people are caught off guard by this news.
Would anyone like to join my club for people who legitimately did not know Kate Middleton was pregnant?

6. While for others, it’s quite the opposite.
Why do I feel like Kate Middleton has been pregnant with this baby for at least two years

7. The timing is slightly awkward.

8. It’s worth a shot, guys.
If this tweet gets over 500 retweets, I’ll have William raise the #royalbaby like Simba in The Lion King when we leave the ward. pic.twitter.com/qdrVxadwR2

9. People having their baby on the same day, made the moment extra special.
Gotta feel for these new parents who have just emerged with their newborn to a sea of cameras! #GreatKateWait3 #royalbaby pic.twitter.com/S7bUNUKx2O

10. While it’s always a big media circus, for some it’ll never be enough.
I like the #royalbaby and your baby and all babies! If anything, I want MORE COVERAGE. ‘Sharon from Ramsgate is 4cm dilated and weeping for drugs. So much for your birth plan, eh Sharon.’

11. For all the cool people who ‘don’t care’ about the baby, remember…
Before you tweet about how you don't care about the #royalbaby remember that people are allowed to be happy about things and you don't really need to crap all over that.

12. Poor Roy.
It promises to be a tough day for anyone called Roy Albaby #Royalbaby

13. And then, the moment arrived – and so did William and Kate’s son.

16. Ryanair saw a pun and went for it.
17. Huge if true.
BREAKING NEWS. New #royalbaby name is ‘Kanye’.

18. It’s a weird name, but it does make sense.

Great name! 👏 https://t.co/lc4LhNkCvd

19. And if Kanye or Palace won’t work, Innocent has a few more fitting suggestions.
Some #RoyalBaby names that work well with George:
