"Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge has been admitted this morning to St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington, London 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."
And, twitter was off!
It hadn't even been an hour since the palace released a statement before twitter exploded with the news of the #Royalbaby!
Here are some of the funniest tweets we've read so far:
Can confirm that Prince William has been receiving gas and air and has requested an epidural to help him get through the stress. #RoyalBaby

There's a lot of straining and exertion before a baby arrives, as anyone watching the heroic amount of filler on Sky News can tell you.

How can you tell it's the royal baby? Well, it's 'crowning' ... #KateMiddleton #RoyalBaby

Sky says Kate's labour is "progressing normally" so right about now she's screaming at William to never come near her again #Royalbaby

Wondering if Pippa's bum will turn up and steal the limelight #RoyalBaby

If twitter is anything to go by, the second coming of Christ is about to take place by way of Kate Middleton's vagina. #RoyalBaby

Kate Middleton was admitted to the hospital in early stages of labor. That's the only labor the royal baby will ever be involved in.

Prince William is 100% royal but Kate Middleton is 0% royal. This means their son would be a half-blood Prince.

I wonder if Kate Middleton is going to consider the name 'North' . . .
