Is Queen Bey being dethroned? Thanks to a mother in Ireland, parodies of Beyoncé’s famous photo depicting her in Mother Mary-like garb and nestling her newborn twins in her bosom have started to proliferate on Twitter.
But the real queen is Sharon Kellaway, the mom-of-five from Kilworth.

“I saw the picture and thought it was great, so I threw on a pink blanket and did my own version,” she said to BBC. “It wasn’t meant to be a big deal, I just threw on the pink blanket for a laugh and sent it to my husband and friend in Canada.”
It was at her Canadian friend’s insistence that Kellaway shared her photo, which quickly went viral. She’s been interviewed in local media, and has appeared on-air in Canada and Australia since first posting her pic to Facebook on July 14.
The stay-at-home mom calls the attention she’s receiving “bananas,” but what’s really crazy is how quickly people around the world have picked up on Kellaway’s idea and staged their own newborn photo spoof.
Some dads got in on the gag, too.
While most of the shots are hilarious and hammy, some mothers have chosen to forego the costumes and show what managing newborns is really like.
