The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have announced they are expecting their third baby, a sibling for Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
The news came after Kate, who is less than 12 weeks pregnant, had to pull out of a public engagement on Monday due to severe morning sickness.
While social media was awash with congratulatory messages for the royal couple, the news certainly led to some creative tweets…

12. And here’s someone’s worked out the whole childcare thing
Of course, with the government's new 2 child limit, I presume William and Kate's third child will receive no state support. #royalbaby
