The best Twitter reactions to this morning's royal baby announcement

THIS MORNING, CLARENCE House confirmed that Kate Middleton is expecting her second child.

As you would expect, Twitter went into meltdown.

Most of the chatter centred around how the announcement could influence Scottish independence.

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

NOTE: Pretending that you don't care about the Royal Baby is an excellent way of making me care about the Royal Baby.
