CNN made an unfortunate mistake when they wrote on their ticker that the royal baby had been pronounced dead.

The ticker mistake caused the Twitter world to erupt with questions.

Under the headline, 'Duchess Catherine gives birth to a son,' reads the headline that the royal baby was pronounced dead on the scene.

Washington Times columnist Joseph Curl tweeted that CNN did a fine job on the reporting the delivery of the royal baby, but the mistake is the only thing that is going to be remembered.

Another person wrote on his Twitter account that it just takes one rogue intern with a keyboard to put the world in a state of panic.
