I'm not sure Harry looks that happy since getting married. He doesn't seem to be his usual ebullient self. A bit sad. I keep thinking he knows he's made the wrong choice of partner. Witness the eye roll at him by MM at the wedding - its subtle but it looks like she treats him like a child.

Hmm

I'm not sure how you've managed to come to that conclusion from a brief snapshot on one day. Good god there's some cranks on this site.

tilly at OAF!!

Harry looking sad?

Harry looks like the cat that got the bloody cream, he never looks sad! He looks thrilled to bits.

Rockbird · 15/10/2018 12:54

What a load of old toffee some of you spout! A sadness in Harry's eyes? Knows he made the wrong choice? Utter hogwash. How that hell can anyone, including me, know what's going on in anyone's private life, let alone people who you get a snapshot of once every few weeks.

As for announcing it at the wedding, I'm guessing that Eugenie was absolutely fine about it. They might have asked her, she might have encouraged them to announce it, she might have known nothing about it. But given that the Windsor men and the York women are good friends, we can assume that it wasn't done to piss Eugenie off and all is well.

Bouledneige’s post is one of the stupidest I have read on here
And these days that’s going some

areyoubeingserviced · 15/10/2018 12:59

It’s great news , particularly with all the speculation about her age .
The baby is going to be gorgeous

Seaweed42 · 15/10/2018 13:01

Kate'll be annoyed thinking of all the babysitting she'll be asked to do Hmm

areyoubeingserviced · 15/10/2018 13:03

All those posters who think that Harry is not happy are just projecting .
In fact my dh who is not as invested or interested in anything Royal, said that this is the happiest he has seen Harry.
All Harry needed was the love of a good woman and he got that
All the naysayers should just BUZZ OFF

fuzzywuzzy · 15/10/2018 13:04

Have to say I wandering about all these ‘sadness in Harry’s eyes posts’. I watched the wedding and couldn’t see Harry’s eyes that close up, never mind look into them deeply enough to see emotion in them! Both him and Meghan looked totally loved up. They were clearly trying to be unobtrusive and not take away from Eugene’s day.

Load of old bollox frankly, I hope they have lots of kids and a very happy and successful long marriage.

Should choke the nasty jealous racists out there.

bubbles092 · 15/10/2018 13:07

That's all daily mail is going to be bombarded with now. Good for them but her crap is getting so boring... not interested at all!

Jarveau · 15/10/2018 13:11

Georgina125 I'm so sorry. Pregnancy announcements must be painful at any time, but I can see how the timing of this very public one feels particularly cruel to you. I can't imagine the week held any significance for those involved with this announcement, but I guess that just makes you feel even more removed from the "normal" world.

Bouledeneige · 15/10/2018 13:23

Well I'm sorry you think I'm stupid.

I'm not a great royalist but always had a soft spot for Harry having seen him follow his mother's hearse and the fun he's had with people of all ages at events.

But I think being a royal - particularly for these young women - is like being in a gilded cage with nothing to do but produce babies and look pretty. Some kind of hell. Especially for those with education and independent ideas (though Diana didn't work out too well either and she was very much brought up with those expectations of wifely duty). The role of consort can't be all that wonderful or easy. You must have to have a very strong relationship to withstand it.

But I know lots of people love to believe in fairytales and princes and princesses - I just didn't think he looked as happy at his wedding or since. Just my impression. I hope he is.

Given the royal familly's success rate (1 in 4 of his parents and aunts and uncles 1st marriages) and of the general population there's always a risk! But you go and tell me I'm wrong.

I might think assuming you know they are blissfully happy is just as unfounded - how do you know either?

Mhw02 · 15/10/2018 13:51

What lovely news. He seems to be really good with children, I'm sure they'll make fantastic parents.

Georgina125 and bananafish81 FlowersFlowers

Given the fact that the royals have adivsers to check on announcement timings ect i'm surprised they've made this mistake. I realise they wanted to avoid the 'wedding weekend' and then get the announcement out before they got too far into their tour, but really, leaving it one more day to avoid hurt would have been the right thing to do.

Like a pp I too will be interested to see what happens when the baby is born. Will she appear hours after the birth on hospital steps in full make up and formal dress? Maybe she'll have a home birth?

SecretWitch · 15/10/2018 14:45

Happy to hear the news. Best wishes and all for healthy and happy pregnancy.

FlowThroughIt · 15/10/2018 14:51

Maybe it came out at the wedding because she eventually got too hot for that coat and she was tired of declining alcohol? Or it may have been no fault of her own.

My pregnancy was revealed at a formal celebration for other family members by no fault of my own. These things happen.

Oddcat · 15/10/2018 15:11

Lol at people claiming to know all the tiny details of when , how and who they told .

FlowThroughIt · 15/10/2018 15:20

A thread about a new pregnancy of a happily married couple, especially with their ages and her getting pregnant so quickly should be light hearted and nice.

Instead it's been quickly me-railed by strangers claiming to know Harry's innermost thoughts, people who think Meghan is annoying therefore not allowed any happiness, and I think all of October is pregnancy loss remembrance month in the US at least and since Meghan is American she should have waited until November to reveal her news...so then everyone could find a new reason to rip apart hers and Harry's choice of date to reveal it. 🙄
