Is the Duchess of Sussex expecting twins?

I've just seen pics of her at an engagement today and that is a seriously massive bump! But not due until end April/early May (she told people this herself today) which makes her not even 6 months but she literally looks like I did at about 8 months so I'm wondering if the 'twins' story published overseas might actually be accurate?

Oh ffs. The tmblr crazies are infecting here as well Hmm

Next we'll be hearing how the baby is fake and that Megan is this all powerful enchantress controlling Harry and the RF to do her bidding.

See also the batshittery about Sophie Hunter (Mrs cumberbatch) and the Larry mentalists convinced that Harry and Liam from 1D are together.

Still don’t get what you mean @trustedhen

The hashtag #moonbump on Twitter is one hell of a rabbit hole!

ovos · 16/01/2019 16:06

Isn't it just? Some people are very strange.

Celebelly · 16/01/2019 16:20

Christ, that hashtag is batshit insane!

3luckystars · 16/01/2019 16:30

That's unreal.

Dongdingdong · 16/01/2019 16:34

Having just seen those photos of Meghan at the animal sanctuary today, she definitely looks very large for six months pregnant. I think she could be having twins!

SaveKevin · 16/01/2019 16:44

I was fucking massive at 6 months, i also think she's a little bit further along then we are privy to. I think if it was twins they would have announced it, unless they were planning to lock one of the babies up in a tower and pretend it doesn't exist?!
They aren't silly, as much as they hate all this speculation, they are also aware they need to keep interest, relevance and be seen to be honest. Pretending the twin was a surprise wouldn't wash it.

I'm 6.5 months and am bigger than her, and usually am slim. Bumps won't be the same with 2 different people!!! Defo no twins in my stomach either. Let's not bump shame! :-)

Dongdingdong · 16/01/2019 16:57

As an aside, she looks stunning in that cream dress - but she must be freezing with no tights!

IrmaFayLear · 16/01/2019 17:01

I thought there was a rip in the top of the left leg as you look straight on... perhaps from one of the dogs Smile .

I just reckon she's a bit more pregnant than is being revealed. And how on earth does she go down on her haunches? I was using an old person's grab stick in the latter stages of pregnancy!

EwItsAHooman · 16/01/2019 17:03

Christ on a stick, there are some batshit people on that moonbump hashtag. Some folk just can't bear for other people to be happy, can they? My favourite was #saveusprincephilip, made me properly snort, what the fuck do they expect Prince Philip to do and what exactly do they want him to save them from!?

EwItsAHooman · 16/01/2019 17:07

We all see her looking glam but it's only in short bursts, I could have looked great like that when I was pregnant if I only had to turn it on for a little while then as soon as I was done I could flop. I bet as soon as she gets back in that car back to the palace she has the heels off, her bra off, a huge bottle of Gaviscon in her hand, and spends the whole journey farting and burping like a loppy old spaniel.

We live in scary times

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 16/01/2019 17:13

I don't know why but when I saw her bump in the purple dress I thought it looked fake.

Celebelly · 16/01/2019 17:19

I liked the #TREASON tag from someone who repeatedly asserted they were a member of the British Women's Institute. Definitely not just jam and Jerusalem...

mightyoak100 · 16/01/2019 17:29

I don't find it that hard to believe, apparently there's a big demand for moon bumps, someone's buying the bloody things.... the "bump" had definitely slipped down. Like how could it do that?

ovos · 16/01/2019 17:37

the "bump" had definitely slipped down

Where? I can't see any pictures where the bump has "definitely slipped down".

The royal family have unlimited money and know they are subject to about a million photos every time they step out of the house. If they were going to trick the world into thinking she was pregnant when she isn't, don't you think they'd buy a fake belly that doesn't slip down in public? It wouldn't exactly be difficult to just buy one with shoulder straps.

And if she did have one, do you think she'd just be wondering around in front of all the paps with it having slid down to her knees without noticing? Like she wouldn't feel it slide down?

The whole thing is ridiculous and makes no sense.

Celebelly · 16/01/2019 17:41

Also the amount of people who would have to be involved in a cover-up like that makes the whole thing totally unfeasible in today's day and age. Medical staff? Hospital? Palace employees? Press officers? Suppliers of alleged fake bump? Any number of people seeing her close-up? Hmm

It's utterly insane v 'woman of child-bearing age bearing child'.

mightyoak100 · 16/01/2019 17:41

Haha she could hardly hoist it up with all eyes on her.

Celebelly · 16/01/2019 17:43

Where is this slipped bump pic anyway? I just see a billowing dress around her legs?

And yes as PP said, do you really think she would go to a public engagement with the press with some sort of fake bump that doesn't fit properly? This is serious tinfoil hat stuff.

StealthPolarBear · 16/01/2019 17:45

In fairness although I think her pregnancy is real, those pictures do look odd
