Ten brands who have jumped on the royal baby announcement: from TreSemme to WKD
Nissan was the first brand out the starting post to celebrate the announcement that Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge will be having a second royal baby.
Here, we take a look at some of the other brands who decided to use the news for self – promotion.
The Post Office
Congratulations from Post Office to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who are expecting a special delivery! #SpecialDelivery #RoyalBaby

While you were out, a baby arrived. We left it with your neighbours. TreSemme
If ‘it’s a girl’, that’s going to be one princess with some incredible hair. #RoyalBaby #ThreeWordsSheWantsToHear — TRESemme UK (@TRESemmeUK) September 8, 2014Jumping on the #ThreeWordsSheWantsToHear trending tag and the royal baby news in one, TreSemme keeps its fingers crossed for a Rapunzel baby.
Tesco
Hearty congratulations to the Duchess of Cambridge! Here are our #ThreeWordsSheWantsToHear: “Pampers on offer.” http://t.co/FbwYrT823G

Tesco goes for two hashtags in one tweet as well. Office
Can you see the #RoyalBaby rocking these Kids @drmartens? We think so! Congrats Wills and Kate. pic.twitter.com/DupmgXcgoj — OFFICE Shoes (@OfficeShoes) September 8, 2014If the baby turns out to be a lil asskicker, a la The Walking Dead, these shoes could come in handy. But not for a very long time.
This is the second version of the tweet. The first congratulated Harry. Clearly, Office knows something we don’t.

There's another #RoyalBaby on the way. In true Blue Peter style, here's a royal name generator we made earlier pic.twitter.com/ZZ7WWJSLYp

Innocent tries to predict the name of the wee one. Pot Noodle
Not like I need an excuse to go King for lunch… #RoyalBaby pic.twitter.com/gLYPUn2dcA — Pot Noodle (@Pot_Noodle) September 8, 2014Predicting some pregnancy cravings?
Coral
We called it. #RoyalBaby pic.twitter.com/2WGhVWM18W

Coral knew it was happening, the betting company smuggly tells us all. Pizza Express
Congrats to Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge! May we humbly suggest naming the #RoyalBaby 'Pizza'? — PizzaExpress (@PizzaExpress) September 8, 2014A baby called Pizza? We have had Apple as a celeb child, but we doubt this name suggestion will stick.
ASOS
Looks like #KateMiddleton will be rekindling her #ASOSMaternity now #RoyalBaby number 2 is on the way! http://t.co/K23GD84QV9

Before royal baby comes royal baby bump, ASOS points out. WKD
#KateMiddelton #RoyalBaby #bunintheaga pic.twitter.com/Y37kHIZlXa — WKD (@WKDOfficial) September 8, 2014Last and pretty much least, WKD is unlikely to be the tipple used to celebrate the royal baby news.
