Neve got her own special UN ID badge for the day complete with a passport pic of her fast asleep. Thankfully Gayford tweeted out a pic of the (frankly adorable) badge so we could all have a gander.Judging by the ID, Neve's official title is "First Baby."

"I wish I could have captured the startled look on a Japanese delegation inside UN yesterday who walked into a meeting room in the middle of a nappy change," added Gayford. "Great yarn for her 21st."
