Kate Middleton pregnant, the world reacts

Ask not where I was when I heard that the Duchess of Cambridge was pregnant, ask rather where I was when Miss Khloé Kardashian, of the Californian Kardashians, shared her views on the joyous news with the world:

‘Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge!! A royal baby!!! 🙂 awwww so sweet’.

Not to be beaten, our very own Cheryl Cole quickly joined in the orgy of cooing:

‘I’m sooooooo excited that we’re having a royal baby !!!!Congratulations to Kate and Wills !!!!!!’

Everywhere there is a celebrity, Piers Morgan is quick to follow:

‘Congratulations to every magazine editor for calling Kate Middleton’s pregnancy – especially those who did covers on it 11 months ago.’

And not to be outdone, Jeffrey Archer was on the airwaves quicker than he churns out another trashy novel:

‘I for one, hope it’s a girl’.
