Sound the clarion horns, the royal twins are Instagram Official.

Beyoncé posted a photo of herself with the baby boy/girl twins on Thursday night -- after 10 p.m. Pacific! -- confirming in her caption that their names are indeed Sir Carter and Rumi.

No People magazine cover sale, no carefully planned, news-cycle friendly launch before the morning news shows. At 10:10 p.m. on Thursday, July 13, in the 2017th year of our Lord, Beyoncé decided that it was time to show you something.

Sir Carter and Rumi 1 month today. 🙏🏽❤️👨🏽👩🏽👧🏽👶🏾👶🏾

Not hard to spot here is the thematic call-back to her pregnancy photo, which Beyoncé dropped in February, along with the news that she was carrying not one, but two baby Bey-Zs.

And there was much rejoicing: It was the most liked Insta of all time.
