Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, has been admitted to hospital in London in the early stages of labor.
Once the #royalbaby is born, the news will be shared with the Queen, Prime Minister David Cameron, and the Middletons before it is public.

Fox News’ Martha MacCallum is tweeting from London.
Full moon (almost!) over St. James Palace #greatkatewait #royalbaby pic.twitter.com/i9rlSDCHQw

Looks like there is something to the full moon theory after all…

@BillHemmer will he be right? He bet on today. I hope so!

Palace says labor is "progressing normally."

Finally, it's bustling outside the Lindo Wing. Inside Kate is nervous no doubt pic.twitter.com/XJJsBXceHn

Twitter waits with excitement.

FOX NEWS ALERT– Kate Middleton is in labor! We're on royal baby watch all morning-tune in!
— FOX & friends (@foxandfriends) July 22, 2013
Still, I think there's something about their traditions that appeal to me. It's history in the making. #RoyalBaby
— Teri Peters (@hipEchik) July 22, 2013
Our future POTUS can be born at any time, without fanfare and we have no clue. This one will be a King or Queen & we know. #RoyalBaby
— Teri Peters (@hipEchik) July 22, 2013
As much as we love babies, many are mocking this birth. Why? If nothing else, it's another blessed child. #RoyalBaby
— Teri Peters (@hipEchik) July 22, 2013
So, Godspeed to Kate and the #RoyalBaby . May your labor be easy and the child healthy. Cheers!
— Teri Peters (@hipEchik) July 22, 2013
When the #RoyalBaby is born, it will be the first time in history that three generations of direct heirs will be in waiting and well.
— Teri Peters (@hipEchik) July 22, 2013
GOD BLESS @WEEDDUDE for actually taking me seriously when I said to call me when Kate went into labor. #RoyalBaby

If you don't give a rip about the British monarchy, I get it. I am happy for a new life welcomed into the world. #RoyalBaby #ProLife

And some snark, natch:
Side note: My mother is convinced the #royalbaby was born days ago and is living in tiny hiding.

Key question here is whether #royalbaby will resemble Winston Churchill or Dick Cheney

We call him president. MT @Telegraph: #RoyalBaby: What do you call a child whose name will be remembered for hundreds of years?

Has anyone made a Labour Party joke? I feel like there's something there. #RoyalBaby

Fun activity – make yourself feel ill by calculating how old you'll be when the Royal baby is old enough to drink.
— Gap Yah Christinah (@chrstinadarling) July 22, 2013
Heh heh RT @Charles_HRH: The Royal Doctor has arrived to deliver the baby. On Her Majesty's Secret Cervix. #royalbaby
— Toby Harnden (@tobyharnden) July 22, 2013
How should Kate and William introduce the royal baby to the world?

I think Kate Middleton should do this when she leaves the hospital with the new royal baby #RoyalBabyWatch pic.twitter.com/862HgUCjNl
— Maisie Sheehan (@Maaisie) July 22, 2013
Make it happen.
After the royal baby's here Harry will only be fourth in line to the British throne. That increases my chances of securing our nuptials. Yay
— Hman Kent (@HaymanAKent) July 22, 2013
An an exit point for those mocking the royal baby excitement.
Morning twittah! Better timeline this morning…would rather see tweets about #RoyalBaby than Geraldo's 70 yr old selfie.
— Amy Kremer (@AmyKremer) July 22, 2013
Twitchy will continue to monitor this story and update with more baby news!
Update: Fox News’ Martha MacCallum continues to report from on-the-scene in London. News coming soon?
