Brilliant! Thanks, Queen, a few I didn't know here!

[RhubarbIsEvil]

Thank you queen 👑!

[TracyBeakerSoYeah]

Thanks Queen.
Archie's feet photo so cute. He looks like he's all arms & legs, bit like my DD was when she was born & she weighed 6lbs 12oz & is now an extremely tall & skinny teenager.

[QueenOfTheAndals]

We'll have a Kate sighting on Tuesday as she's visiting Bletchley Park. I think one of her grandmothers worked as a code breaker during WWII?

Cute baby feet pic 👣

[TuppenceTwo]

RhubarbIsEvil oh no that’s a shame The Mumsnet website is terrible at zooming in on pictures. These are closer up if it helps but I think I’m only allowed to post 6 pictures a day so this is just bit that’s more about Mrs Alice.

Kate really does wear sizes 5.5 and 6 @Myimaginarycathasfleas
See attached image (the sole reads 38.5)

I don't think she's 5'9". Her official height is a bit under 5'9" (about 174cm) but I think she's 5'8.5"-5'8", maybe even a smidge under. Look at photos of her next to Michelle Obama. Still tall though and with high heels 6 foot or so. The Weitzman Corkswoon heels she used to wear frequently are 4.5 inch wedges and also have a platform.

[Spudlet]

I'm about an inch or so taller than Kate and I wear size 7 - 8 shoe... her feet must be teeny tiny!

[frugalkitty]

I love the baby feet pic! The first thing we noticed about our first born was how big his feet were....they were always too big for the babygros. He likes to tease me by wearing my slippers indoors so we have a chant "get your flippers out of my slippers"!

Feet are funny things, I wear a 7.5 and have shrunk to 5ft 5 from 5ft 6.5!

The text on the feet picture is in tribute to mothers, I suppose for US Mothers Day today. It's sweet, especially for those "remembered."

[Thedarklady]

Meghan had Diana's favourite flowers (Forget Me Nots), in her bouquet and the flowers are also in the photo of baby Archie's feet.

[queenofarles]

Oh poor Mrs Alice, I didn’t know she had complications with her third delivery.

I think Archie will heavily be featured on M&W insta page.

[AudacityOfHope]

New thread already!

Place marking.

[floraloctopus]

Thanks Queen. I love the foot photo, I have similar ones of my three.

[ajandjjmum]

Is that photo actually of Archie's feet, or just a generic Mother's Day image? Sorry - haven't seen the actual post.

[UrsulaPandress]

Signing in.

[SenecaFalls]

I think it's Archie. The manicure is the same one Meghan had on Wednesday.

[BertrandRussell]

They certainly look like Meghan’s hands.

[MotherofPearl]

Place marking. Have fallen behind a bit!

[latedecember1963]

Aww, the mention of mothers no longer around against a backdrop of forget me nots is a lovely touch.

[Alwayscheerful]

Checking in

[TSSDNCOP]

Checking in. Lovely photo, very thoughtful.

Do you think they'll just release Archie bit by bit then a big reveal at 18?

[QueenOfTheAndals]

I'm sure the reports of him being hidden away are exaggerated. How much do we actually see of the Cambridge children? We'll probably see Archie about as much as we see them or the Phillips and Tindall girls.

[Kedgeree]

I don't think foot size is in any way related to height. Bit like heads, some people have large heads when they're not large elsewhere, some just have huge feet. I worked with a woman who at around 5ft4 or 5 had size eight feet and equally huge hands. My DSs have the same size feet - DS1 is 6ft 1 and DS2 5ft 11.
Meghan looks to have long slim feet to me.
