BACK IN FEBRUARY, Beyoncé announced to the world that she was pregnant with twins on Instagram.
It was an instantly iconic and unforgettable shot:
This morning, she’s followed that up with another photo with a similar vibe.
Only this time it’s to announce – exactly one month after they were born – the names of her twins. Introducing “Sir Carter and Rumi”
YES.
Speculation about the names has been rife in the press for the last month – but now we finally have our definitive answer. The Instagram post is phrased oddly though given the surname Carter is only placed after “Sir”, which would make the two first names:
Sir and Rumi.
But it led to inevitable confusion
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
Now knighting your own child is a bold move, but Jay Z and Beyoncé can just about pull it off
The announcement in general is delightfully over the top
It almost overshadows the worldwide promotion of Jay Z’s new album
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
The main reaction though? Thank you Beyoncé for not just releasing a boring statement
And the shot itself is *art*
A *fire emoji* photo shoot is always better than a bland press release
Welcome Sir Carter and Rumi.
