Prince William and Kate Middleton got a special delivery on April 7th, but it wasn’t one they were expecting.
No, it wasn’t their brand new bouncing baby, but two 10 feet tall teddy bears.
The bears, sent by betting agency William Hill, seemingly represent the new royal addition; one wears a blue ribbon and a crown, and the other a pink ribbon and a tiara. Attached to the ribbons were badges stating the odds of the gender, evens for a boy, 8/11 for a girl.

The teddies were dropped off at the gates of Buckingham Palace (of course), after being toured throughout London (including in front of Kate, Will and George’s royal residence, Kensington Palace).
Unfortunately, London Police weren’t too thrilled about the oversized delivery, labelling it a security threat and seizing the bears (a difficult task, we imagine).

“These giant teddy bears should catch the eye of William, Kate and baby George,” said a spokesperson from William Hill.
We’re sure they did.
