Many years ago when Sarah Ferguson was married to Andrew Windsor, she gave birth to some children. At the time every mid-market and red-top newspaper splashed the news all over their front pages.
The Independent, however, which at the time had a policy of not reporting on the Royals, put the birth announcement as its second-from-last "nib" (those very short leftover bits of news) on an inside page. Not the last: people might read it there. (The decision on the second-from-last was made by Jan Thompson, the news editor on the day, now on the staff at Guardian Media Group.)
In the spirit of that, we'll point out that the latest to join Twitter is @BritishMonarchy. Those whose interests extend to links to galleries of the Queen meeting people, knighting people and so on will find it agreeable.
OK. Next?
