While some jokers got to work creating memes and spreading wisecracks, a new surge of spoof royal baby Twitter profiles arrived, joining those that were set up after the announcement of the Duchess's pregnancy last December.
As the old saying goes, you can have too much of a good - or in this case, uninspiring - thing, so Digital Spy has rounded up some of the rival royal baby Twitter accounts clamouring for your attention to see who's most worthy of a follow.

For all my followers who believe this is some kind of spoof account, here's a photo to prove that it is me. #royalbaby pic.twitter.com/ZPYm6298

I know I'm in line for the throne, but this crowning is ridiculous.

It's time for this fresh prince to get some rest with Daddy. Who for some reason, has less hair than me. Odd #RoyalBaby
— Royal Baby (@IamRoyalBaby) July 22, 2013
Notes: A thoroughly modern royal baby that is up on pop culture, taking selfies and using topical hashtags (see: #thatchersdead) while inside the womb. Has Twitter sussed.

Night has ended! Day begins! Dawn laced with purpose, forged with will, and filled with a thousand heaving nipples for your petulant godhead

Do you feel it? The whispering on the sea. The nattering of talking heads. Soon your media will beat with a single royal pulse. I am coming.

My daddy flies a helicopter and saves lives. Your daddy actually thought that he could make shutter shades cool again. #kimye

Notes: A terrifyingly articulate, egomaniacal Shakespearean villain of a royal baby (we thought all that thunder and lightning yesterday was a bit ominous). Our night terrors stopped when we unfollowed him. Still, we appreciate the pop at Kim and Kanye.

Oooh....looks like I am going to be a king. Or is that just the umbilical chord?

Ta Da! I'm here! Uncle Harry has already offered me a nice strong welcome drink...
— The Royal Baby (@TheRoyalBaby__) July 22, 2013
.....Oooooh I just can't WAIT to be KING....
— The Royal Baby (@TheRoyalBaby__) July 22, 2013
Notes: A cheeky, happy-go-lucky type that we can picture getting a bit squiffy during Christmas over Nanny Liz's house in 18 years or so. Might get a bit annoying if he keeps tweeting Lion King jokes though.

Let us hope that when one enters this world it is slightly more dignified that this: pic.twitter.com/ZU1paIXj8W

Why isn't #royalbabymania trending? Dreaming of the Daily Mail front cover as I squeeze myself out. #RoyalBaby
— Royal Baby (@HRH_baby) July 22, 2013
My gender is finally revealed #lad
— Royal Baby (@HRH_baby) July 22, 2013
Notes: He's only about 24 hours old and already he's clicked that people love cat memes and hate the Daily Mail. A smart cookie that could be worth a follow.

I is 24 hours old. Worship me
— Prince of Cambridge (@lilwindsor2013) July 23, 2013
The main reason for my conception was to prevent a Ginger Monarch. Soz Harry.

No Daddy you cannot call me Tupac
— Prince of Cambridge (@lilwindsor2013) July 22, 2013
Notes: Uses text speak, is just another privileged little kid who thinks he's a 'proper G' - you roll your eyes at this kind of behaviour at a bus stop, why would you want it on your Twitter feed? Not much chance of a ROFL here.

It's official. I'm called George.
— Prince of Cambridge (@babygeorge2013) July 22, 2013
I want to be weened now. Hate this milk stuff - where's my caviar? Burp.
— Prince of Cambridge (@babygeorge2013) July 23, 2013
All of my followers will be knighted. I pwomise. The Royal nappy is full - must dash.
— Prince of Cambridge (@babygeorge2013) July 23, 2013
Notes: Late to the party, but he's ever such a cutey wutey schweety pie. We've just placed a tenner on George down at the bookies based on this insider info - if he pays out, we'll give him a follow.
