"But that won't stop us," he added.

Sick of the Royal Baby Watch? Don't worry, so are the journalists.

BBC's Simon McCoy lets us know how he feels about being sent to stand outside a hospital door all day.

"Plenty more to come to come from here ... none of it news, but that won't stop us."

What a genius. In fairness, it sounds like his whole newscast is comedy gold:

"Endless speculation, endless chat and not a lot of information" - @simonmccoy provides refreshingly honest appraisal of the hours ahead.
