Tweeting the Great Kate Wait

While cynics do their best to pretend to ignore the royal birth, the rest of the twittersphere erupts.

The first person to tweet the news was freelance photographer Jesal Parshotam, who was staking out one of the hospital’s many entrances when two cars pulled up and Kate and William quickly got out.

Though a photograph would have made them a fortune, Parshotam says they chose not to take it.

With everyone alerted, the #royalbaby sweeps were on.
