倫敦 – 英國皇室週一通過Twitter公佈,劍橋公爵夫人再次有喜。
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Cambridge is expecting their second child

但倫敦政壇滿是蘇格蘭獨立公投的消息,不少Twitter友除了恭喜以外,都不忘恥笑,懷疑喜訊實際是為轉移蘇獨視線。
The Queen’s offered to have the next royal baby named ‘WILLIAM WALLACE ROBERT BRUCE BURNS’ if the Scots agree to vote NO.

Classic campaigning by the No group, getting the Duchess of Cambridge pregnant. The Scots love a royal baby.

If they’ve got any sense if it’s a boy they’ll announce they’re calling him Andrew. If it’s a girl they’ll call her, I don’t know, Tunnock?

但皇室記者表示,皇室表示公爵夫人懷孕未過12禮拜的關鍵時期,因此不會公佈預產期,但稍後會公佈預產月份,雖然宮內消息表示,女皇在公佈前24小時內才知道,公爵和夫人想保守秘密,愈久愈好,但夫人害喜大作,無法出席在牛津預定行程,所以「被迫公佈有關喜訊。」
