The Queen Bey is currently holding the record for the most liked picture on Instagram, to no surprise. Her and her twins, Sir Carter and Rumi, looked glorious, crowned with the new 3 time mommy, Beyoncé, covered in a floral robe, light blue veil, and live flower arch with the sea glistening in the background. Beyoncé is incredible, but two more little show stoppers will make the world even sassier. There are conspiracy theories with the twins, however they are doing just fine. The infants were only one month old in this picture taken on July 13 of this year. Today they are 6 months old and thriving. So, a big shout out to Jay-Z and Beyoncé for the team effort made to provide these very special babies and allow 2017 and Instagram to  never forget the day these two mini-stars were born.
