These Tweets About the Royal Baby Announcement Are Funnier Than We Expected

Scroll To Top

On Monday, Buckingham Palace announced the happy news that Prince William and Princess Kate are expecting their third child.

"The queen and members of both families are delighted with the news," the palace said in a statement.

We're glad they're thrilled, because judging by some of these tweets, regular British folks seem sort of over it.

Or at the very least, they see it as an opportunity to poke a little online fun at the Royal Family's expense:

\u201cJust stating now that I think 'Prince William and his 3 children' should instead be known as 'Baldilocks and the 3 heirs'\n#royalbaby\u201d

And what about poor Harry?

\u201cWilliam and Kate's third child will push Prince Harry further down the order of succession -- a fact that's unlikely to trouble him.\u201d

\u201c"There goes any chance I had to be king" #royalbaby\u201d

Are we the only ones who didn't know British people could have a sense of humor about their Royals?

From this side of the pond, wishing all the best to the adorable family!
