At 11:01 a.m. London time this morning, Kate Middleton gave birth to her third child, a baby boy. Royal press was stationed outside the Lindo Wing, where Middleton and Prince William are due to come out with their new baby to introduce him to the press.
But the Lindo Wing, the maternity wing for all of St Mary’s Hospital hospital, was serving other couples too, including this man and woman who walked out the door with their new baby.
They were greeted by the press too, and Twitter had a field day reacting to the photos shared of the surprise encounter. It went so viral, it became a Twitter moment—and a future great story for the kid and his or her parents to tell all their friends.
