Boy, oh boy!

ROYAL BABY mentions reached a frenzied peak of 25 300 tweets a minute, right when the Prince of Cambridge’s birth was announced this week. Behold, some of the funniest tweets:



@Charles_HRH: Camilla has been busily knitting baby clothes. The last thing one needs is another naked Royal in the newspapers.

@thegianttweets: Prince Williams heir is falling out

@JennyJohnson: Hi5. Pretty cool of the #RoyalBaby to come into the world dressed like his Uncle Harry in Vegas.

@TheMichaelRock: Don’t worry, Prince Harry. We only have one bathroom, so I too know what it’s like to be third in line for the throne.

@MrJackO: EPIC!!!! A new prince was born. It’s like real life Game of Thrones.

@OfficialComedy: No word yet on which house the Sorting Hat has placed the Royal Baby.

@MTVIndia: A #RoyalBaby boy is born! Let’s all breathe a collective sigh and get back to judging Facebook friends who put up baby pictures!

@Purba_Ray: In the meantime, it’s fairly safe to call the #RoyalBaby Prince of Wails.

@Joe_Hildebrand: IT’S A BOY!!!!!! Now that I’ve finally figured out Justin Bieber’s gender, does anyone have any news on the royal baby? #royalbaby

@Pundamentalism: BREAKING NEWS: Twitter has gone into labour with thousands of Royal Baby parody accounts expected to start tweeting today.

@RoyalBaby_NOT: Not even got a name and I’m more famous than you... Night peasants...
