Not going to link to the Daily Fail, but I did have a sneaky peak at wedding photos, and I'm guessing an announcement from Harry and Meghan is imminent.

Am absolutely not a royalist, but I do love a game of 'are they, aren't they?' Thoughts?

Indeed I doubt harry stood up after the speeches and said my turn Megz is Pregz!

I'm sure like with most families the Queen, Charles, William and Kate all new probably some of the closer cousins like Beatrice and Eugenie. But if the press and public were speculating when she had the coat on the. I'm guessing without the coat it was pretty clear! So it would have been more confirming it to the wider family!

For those that are not pleased about the announcement just read Suzanne Moore's sour wee article. Grin

I'm not sure I get her point.
I get the point about the headline obsession with the Baby Sussex which will go on for months now, and that it might distract headlines from more serious issues.
But she seems actually upset that thry got married and are having a baby rather than Harry taking a vow of celibacy in order to help kill off the Royal line?

Momasita · 15/10/2018 13:30

Surely 1st mixed race child born to major Royal is big news whatever your politics? Surely it's a good thing?

SleepingStandingUp · 15/10/2018 13:32

No, baby a royal therefore we must tut and disapprove.

derxa · 15/10/2018 13:33

I'm not sure that Megz and Hazza timed their babymaking activities to overshadow Brexit.

AviatorShades · 15/10/2018 13:35

surely it's a good thing? I'm guessing it's not if your name's Philip-the-ghastly-greek. horrible man Angry

iwillrunanultra · 15/10/2018 13:36

Happy for them and yes a bit of good news is more than welcome.

SleepingStandingUp · 15/10/2018 13:37

Of course they did. They don't love each other, she's well paid to go distract us mindless minions. First WK wedding and all their babies, then HM wedding then EJwedding, Pippa in as anside, what a prize, 241, now HM baby and womb watch for EJ then time for another off HM and speculation whether KW will even the numbers. Its all done according to the Government's timetable don't you know. No sex inbetween, just a strict plan from Govt. It must be. Why else would they marry and have kids.

ChicagoLil · 15/10/2018 14:15

What a snitty article. O

VanillaSugary · 15/10/2018 14:58

Hang on, if they told everyone about it at the wedding on Friday, what about Camilla? Did she find out over 20 woodbines and the Daily Mail?

Lweji · 15/10/2018 15:10

Surely Charles will have told her over breakfast at least. Still over 20 woodbines, presumably.

Cambalamb · 15/10/2018 18:04

I'm looking forward to the first royal mixed race baby!

Onecutefox · 15/10/2018 18:08

That's going to be a one gorgeous baby!

MilkTrayLimeBarrel · 15/10/2018 18:09

Cambalamb - why, just why?

Cambalamb · 15/10/2018 18:11

Why? Because it's a good thing for our diverse population to see different races represented in our royal family imo.

Onecutefox · 15/10/2018 18:14

And why not? It's good that Harry and Meghan are not cousins. I understand third cousins are not that close but still relatives.

Mookie81 · 15/10/2018 18:23

Milktray because, like it or not, race still matters and a mixed race baby in the royal family is a big deal.
It's a great sign of progression.

Onecutefox · 15/10/2018 19:28

As long as they are happy it's none of our business who the royal people get married with in terms of ethnicity or race.

derxa · 15/10/2018 20:49

beanaseireann · 15/10/2018 20:58

Well done - good spot Scotty

BoreOfWhabylon · 15/10/2018 21:12

Aw, I think it's lovely and I am no royalist. They are so totally loved up it makes me smile to see them together.

I hope it's a girl, so that they can further break with tradition by giving her a non-traditional name that honours both parents' mothers. I give you

Princess Doriana!

ItsJustTheOneSwanActually · 15/10/2018 21:14

Princess Doriana is perfect!

Siun · 15/10/2018 21:16

They're all about the same age and all getting engaged, marrying and announcing pregnancies, must be hard to time all the announcements without upsetting the daily mail.

I thought Pippa looked lovely in her green dress. She's due in about ten minutes so she looked amazing considering. Lovely dress.

I do understand that Pippa is not royal by the way! But I love guna spotting.

I actually think they will go very traditional.
