BBC presenter Simon McCoy is not exactly known for being entirely enthusiastic when reporting on news about the royal family.
From the birth of the royal baby to the run-up to the royal wedding, he’s been entertaining viewers with his wry commentary. And he’s on duty today.
Some are suggesting on social media that his boss is either dishing out a punishment or he has a warped sense of humour.
Let’s see…
Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to confirm they are expecting a baby in April.#News

OK. Should there be a Royal Wedding Bank Holiday? Downing Street says 'no plans'. I think there should be plans! #BankHoliday
