The Queen may be “delighted” that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting a third child – but fans of the Queen BEY, have been left fuming.
Kensington Palace announced the royal pregnancy on Monday morning, and within minutes Prince William and Kate Middleton were trending on Twitter as people offered their congratulations.
But some were quick to question why the royal couple chose to break the news on Beyoncé’s birthday, with many Beyhive members branding the decision “rude”.
Others said it was “disrespectful,” accused them of “attention seeking” and argued that they should have waited until after the ‘Formation’ singer had celebrated turning 36. Check out some of the Beyhive’s dramatic reactions below:

The Royal Family announcing that they're expecting another baby on Beyoncé's birthday is low-key disrespectful.

I would be excited about the 3rd royal baby but it's Beyoncé's 36th birthday today and that is way more important. Happy Beyday Queen ?? pic.twitter.com/4hm4kw0X9W

The royal baby will be the fifth in line to the throne and a sibling to four-year-old Prince George, and his two-year-old sister Princess Charlotte.
The news comes nearly three months after Beyoncé welcomed twins Sir Carter and Rumi with husband Jay-Z. Do you think Bey’s fans are being dramatic?
