The next princess/prince of the British Royal Family is also technically eligible to be elected President of the United States, and every season of Game of Thrones has taught me this is the way we will somehow get dragons.#RoyalBaby

Damn, he ain't waste time. This is the moment she got “pre-pregnant”. #RoyalBaby pic.twitter.com/ykqx7eeUgs
I'd love to be the seventh in line to the throne. Never have the pressure of the crown but all the money and privlege is yours. #RoyalBaby
@MessMattyUK
The #RoyalBaby will be seventh in line to throne and if everybody in front abdicates (stranger things have happened in the #royalfamily), he or she will be the UK's first biracial King or Queen #HarryandMeghan

You've got to really feel for Tracey Cox, a body language and relationships expert, who yesterday claimed Meghan and Harry are still enjoying the “honeymoon period” and will not bring a Royal child into the world until at least 2021 #RoyalBaby #DailyExpress pic.twitter.com/a1dzVbLLMb
