Kate Middleton is officially with child, and everyone is all excited, predicting the future and the name and making lots of jokes. But the Duchess of Cambridge is also in the hospital with a rare condition, so Britain's famously eager tabloids are going for a more reserved approach in their royal baby covers — some of them, at least. Thanks to Nick Sutton of Radio 4, who collects all the covers on his Twitter account with the hashtag #tomorrowspaperstoday, we have a good sense of what Tuesday morning in Britain's going to look like. And it's looking pretty pun-free. Herewith, some early awards:
Punniest: The Sun
Most confusing: Daily Star
Most serious: Daily Mirror
Happiest: Daily Express
Most reserved: Daily Mail
