The lady a commoner, he a prince - a fairy tale romance that ends with them getting married and have a son - down the road to living happily ever after. Except that in this case, the twitter world has exploded into action not just with hopes and prayers but with ample doses of humor. Witty sarcasm mostly on the extraordinary hype being generated on the birth has taken the tweets by storm.

According to mashable, the twitter statistics are in. Mere mentions if the royal baby reached a crazy number of 25,300 tweets per minute, about the time the tiny heir was born. The #royalbaby hashtag has been used some 900,000 times and still counting. Not bad for a tiny man, who still doesn't have a name! Even then, this is nowhere near the 132,000 tweets per minute when Pope Francis was being elected or the all time record of 237,000 tweets per minute when America's first black president, Barack Obama was re-elected. Even Usain Bolt was faster, with 88,000 tweets per minute and duh, Spice Girls made it to 116,000 last year.

Spencer is fast becoming a popular name suggestion for the tot, most calling it a fitting tribute to the late Princess Diana, William's mother and grandmother of this newborn royal tot - now it's for the world to see, wait and watch as to what the actual name of the baby would be.

A favoured headline, "the regal has landed"!
