The Duchess and Duke of Cambridge have been confirmed to be expecting royal baby number two.

Prince George, who is barely a year old, might be having a new baby brother or baby sister as time unfolds.

We expect the grande event that would be grossly displayed on TV as her pregnancy progresses soon enough.

But as the news broke, a lot of mixed feelings could be seen, especially on social media where the message was taken both lightly and in joy, especially in these politically-trying times in the UK.

From tweets of congratulatory messages to those of scorn, here are the top tweets we found funny about the news:

Traffic jam, thought for the day by the side of the road, forgotten car park pass. But hey, another royal baby on the way. Happy Monday!

This new royal baby is a ploy to get everyone to be distracted from all the bad things going on in the world right now. Don’t trust them.

The Queen’s offered to have the next royal baby named ‘WILLIAM WALLACE ROBERT BRUCE BURNS’ if the Scots agree to vote NO.

Yeah, a royal baby is much more important than the Independence of Scotland, ISIS or MPs wages.

The royal baby isn’t born yet, he/she is already better than all of us. Put together.

With the announcement of another royal baby on the way, when does the rioting and looting begin outside Buckingham Palace?

Any cybernats declared the royal baby news to be suspiciously timed yet?

The new “royal” baby has got a better chance of becoming pope than the monarch of a United Kingdom that includes Scotland. Ditto their bro.

Manchester United have signed Angel Di Maria and Radamel Falcao and there are people tweeting about a second royal baby.

The good news from my point of view is that Junior will be a year older than the royal baby so more chance of them getting married.

Call me a cynic, but has @Queen_UK devised a new campaign tactic for no vote? announce another royal baby for the whole of the UK
